Cable Ties

CABLE TIE

Cable ties are commonly fabricated from nylon grade 6.6 and are used to bundle items, usually wires. Cable ties are available in different sizes for different uses. It is available in miniature sizes for holding small loads, and are also fabricated in long lengths and strong tensile strengths for large items or bundles. Sometimes cable ties are fabricated in UV protected variations.

There are different types of cable ties and different applications :

Cable ties help to group cables together.

They are created for indoor and outside use and vary in composition. 

Natural Cable Ties: They are usually constructed from 6.6 nylon grade. All ties should meet a flammability resistance requirement, which is indicated by the manufacturer. Many of these ties are manually adjusted and there are some pneumatic tools available to help reduce installation time. These ties are appropriate for general purpose applications and are resistant to chemicals, grease, and oil-based products. higher temperature nylon generally includes nylon grade 4.6.

UV Protected Cable Ties: These are known as Black cable Ties. These types of cable ties are mainly used for outdoor applications like stainless steel cable ties. They are different from natural cable ties. Because of the outdoor applications, they are resistant to natural contaminants. Highly resistant to oils and grease. These cables are commonly used for applications that require a high tensile holding strength and are often manufactured in nylon 12-grade material.

Stainless Steel Cable Ties: These types of cable ties are suitable for applications that require a high level of protection against corrosion and environmental conditions. It has high durability. And a long life. Which may cause typical nylon cables to disintegrate. They are mainly used for outdoor as well as underground applications. It is also used in indoor applications that need high life. Manufacturers could supply black nylon sleeves for supplementary corrosion protection. 

Other Considerations: It is essential to store cable ties properly to ensure that the cable ties are most effective for an application. To prevent the material from oxidizing and disintegrating, manufacturers suggest storing nylon cable ties and stainless steel cable ties in a cool and dry area. Because of skinny versions of nylon area unit sensitive to bending. They also recommend being cautious when applying pressure to the bands, there is a chance for misshapen.
