Cable management cable tie A cable tie is a handy tool for bundling cables, cords, wires, pipes and hoses. No matter how small a cable tie is, it plays a big and important role in cable management. The cost is relatively low, it is easy to use and the possibilities are endless.A cable tie, also called cable tie, cable tie, ty-rap (or tyrap), tiewrap (or tie wrap or tie-wrap), coisson strap or lashing strap, is an elongated strip with an opening or eye on one side and the other side a ribbed surface. The opening has a small barb. When the pointed end is inserted, the strip can be tightened. However, because of the barb, the end cannot be pulled back; the loop can only be tightened. If you want to tighten the cable tie to the correct strength, use a pair of pliers. If you still want to get the cable tie loose, it should be cut or slit.Detectable cable tieNedelko carries an extensive line of detectable cable ties from Elematic. These special cable ties can be identified by metal detectors, X-ray equipment and by visual inspection. The cable ties are very suitable for applications in the food and pharmaceutical industries and also in other contamination-sensitive industries where detection equipment is used.
Detectable products help prevent the risks of contamination by foreign substances in production systems. In this way, they help companies comply with HACCP principles in the food industry, GMP guidelines in the pharmaceutical sector and general ISO 9000 standards. Stainless steel cable tie vs plastic cable tieA stainless steel cable tie is used to bind cables, wires and other materials together, even under very extreme conditions. This is because steel cable ties are made of high-quality stainless steel, they are resistant to corrosion, radiation, extremely low as well as extremely high temperatures and aggressive chemical compounds. A stainless steel cable tie also has a high tensile strength. This is ideal for industrial applications, such as the (petro)chemical industry, food industry, shipbuilding, transport, offshore and many other harsh environments. A plastic cable tie is also used to bind wires, cables, cords and other materials together, but is mainly used for electrical cables, as plastic does not conduct. There are also Velcro cable ties, such as the VELCRO® Brand ONE-WRAP® Strap. These are more expensive than standard cable ties, but are reusable, making the Velcro cable ties durable.
