Cable Ties

Cable ties are one of the simplest yet most essential components in any industrial, electrical or maintenance toolkit. Used for bundling, securing, and organising cables, hoses, and components, they offer a fast, cost-effective solution for managing installations and keeping workspaces tidy.

With a wide range of types, materials, colours, and sizes available, cable ties can be tailored to suit virtually any environment or application.

Types of Cable Ties

The most common type is the self-locking cable tie, which features a one-piece design that automatically locks when tightened. These are ideal for quick, secure fastening in electrical installations, data centres, and general maintenance tasks.

Hook & loop cable ties offer a reusable alternative, perfect for temporary setups or delicate cables that require gentle handling. They’re commonly used in AV setups, IT environments, and areas where frequent adjustments are needed.

For more demanding conditions, stainless steel cable ties provide high tensile strength and resistance to chemicals, heat, and UV exposure. These are ideal for outdoor, marine, and industrial environments where durability is critical.

Materials and Performance

Cable ties are manufactured from a variety of materials to suit different applications:

• Polyamide 6.6 and Polyamide: These are the most widely used materials, offering excellent strength, flexibility, and resistance to abrasion and chemicals.
• Polypropylene: Lightweight and suitable for less demanding tasks, often used in packaging or temporary bundling.
• Stainless Steel: Designed for extreme conditions, offering superior resistance to corrosion, temperature, and mechanical stress.

Many cable ties are also rated for specific temperature ranges, making them suitable for both indoor and outdoor use. Widths and lengths vary to accommodate everything from small wire bundles to large industrial hoses.

Colour Options and Identification

Cable ties are available in a range of colours to support identification, organisation, and compliance:

• Black: UV-resistant and suitable for outdoor use
• Ecru (natural): Common for general indoor applications
• Blue, Green, White: Useful for colour-coding cables, identifying systems, or meeting industry-specific standards

Colour-coded ties help streamline maintenance and troubleshooting by making it easier to trace circuits or group related cables.
