Product Overview
The RS PRO Black Nylon Cable Tie is a high-quality, one-piece, self-locking fastener designed to keep cables organized and tidy. These ties are engineered for versatility, making them suitable for a wide range of applications including cable management, home DIY projects, and garden maintenance. Their robust construction ensures they can withstand various environmental conditions, providing a reliable solution for both indoor and outdoor use.
Key Features
These cable ties are manufactured from high-quality Nylon 66, which provides excellent durability and strength. A standout feature of this product is its superior UV resistance, allowing it to maintain integrity even when exposed to direct sunlight for extended periods. Additionally, the material is low smoke and halogen-free, making it a safer choice for various environments. The design includes a user-friendly head mechanism that allows for easy threading and installation, ensuring a secure hold once the desired loop size is achieved.
Technical Specifications
The cable ties measure 100mm in length and 2.5mm in width, with a maximum bundle diameter capacity of 22mm. They are classified as non-releasable, ensuring a permanent and secure fastening once installed. The material is flame retardant, meeting the UL 94V-2 standard for safety. With a tensile strength of 78.4N, these ties provide sufficient holding power for standard cable management tasks. Each pack contains 100 units, offering a cost-effective solution for professional and personal use.
Installation and Usage
Installation is straightforward: simply wrap the tie around the cables, insert the tapered end through the slot in the head, and pull until the loop is tight around the bundle. Once the desired tension is reached, any excess length of the tie can be trimmed off using a pair of side cutters or scissors. Because these ties are non-releasable, they are intended for single-use applications where a permanent, secure fix is required. Their black color provides a discreet appearance when used with dark-colored cables or in outdoor settings.
