Cable ties are everyday low-cost consumables in workshops, offices, and construction sites and can also be known as tie wraps, wire ties, zip ties, or hose ties. They are used to secure, fasten, and separate cables and wires for the purpose of safety, identification, and organisation. Cable ties can come in different colours, materials, lengths and widths depending on the requirements for the application, making them an ideal addition to any toolkit.

## **Tensile Strength Ratings of Cable Ties**

Tensile strength is a fundamental property of cable ties that indicates the maximum load they can handle before failing. This measure is crucial for ensuring the safety and reliability of cable ties in various applications. It is typically quantified in pounds (lbs) or kilograms (kg), and the ratings can vary significantly based on the material composition and dimensions of the zip tie.

At RS, our products have their tensile strength converted to Newtons (N) in order to make our customers' journeys easier. We know that what constitutes as a 'heavy duty' zip tie can be subject to different opinions, but we have decided to classify any of our cable tie products with a tensile strength of 750N or over as 'heavy duty', in line with the guidelines from [nelcoproducts.com](https://www.nelcoproducts.com/blog/cable-ties-tensile-strength/).

## **Types of Cable Ties**

There are several types of reusable cable ties available online to suit different needs and environments:

- **Coloured cable ties:** using coloured zip ties is a great way to group cables together in an easily recognisable way.
- **Marker Ties:** cable marker ties can be written on to identify what the tie is holding.
- **Releasable cable ties:** generally, more expensive than those for single use. The catch that is fitted to the head can be released to stop the teeth biting into the head, allowing the wire tie to be used many times.

Cable ties also come in various sizes to accommodate different needs, ranging from widths of 1.5mm to 600mm and lengths from 9mm to 500m long. These dimensions determine the maximum bundle diameter they can secure, offering versatility for various applications.

When it comes to materials, zip ties are available in [nylon](https://au.rs-online.com/web/c/cables-wires/cable-ties-fixings/cable-ties/?applied-dimensions=4294881717), metal, fabric, [ETFE](https://au.rs-online.com/web/c/cables-wires/cable-ties-fixings/cable-ties/?applied-dimensions=4294736166) (ethylene tetrafluoroethylene), [fluoropolymer](https://au.rs-online.com/web/c/cables-wires/cable-ties-fixings/cable-ties/?applied-dimensions=4294852077), and a range of other materials. Nylon cable ties, for example, are versatile and widely used in general-purpose applications due to their durability and flexibility. Metal cable ties offer exceptional strength and are ideal for heavy-duty applications. Fabric cable ties, on the other hand, are gentle on delicate wires and are commonly used in the automotive and aerospace industries. ETFE cable ties provide excellent chemical resistance, making them suitable for harsh environments, while fluoropolymer cable ties offer high-temperature resistance and are often used in demanding industrial settings. Each material has its unique properties, making them suitable for specific applications across various industries.

## **Industrial Applications of Flexible Cable Ties**

There are endless uses for industrial zip ties. Generally, they are used to tie cables and wires together for organisation and identification, but other uses can include electrical installations, DIY projects, packaging and shipping as well as numerous other uses. They are also commonly employed in manufacturing facilities, construction sites, automotive workshops, and electrical installations. These ties provide a quick and efficient way to organise and manage cables, preventing tangling and reducing the risk of accidents.

Cable ties are generally single-use devices as they are cut off rather than loosened and reused, however reusable cable ties are also available. If a closed loop needs to be opened again, rather than destroying the cable tie by cutting, it may be possible to release the ratchet from the rack. While some zip ties are designed for reuse with a tab that releases the ratchet, a sewing needle or a small screwdriver must be inserted between the ratchet and the rack to release the tie and allow it to be reused.

This permits the cable to enter the head without resistance but will snag the cable if it is yanked. Any cable that is protruding from the head may be cut using tin snips, but a strap and cable cutter will provide a cleaner cut.</p><p>Go ahead and buy the stainless steel cable ties that you want from our store!</p>

The cable tie must be the simplest fastener to ever be created, at least as far as we can recall.</p><h2>What are white zip ties?</h2><p>White zip ties or cable ties white are the ones that you can use to tie up cables. These small white zip ties are quite easy to use. You just need to get few of them and tie up your cables as needed.

There is one accessible for almost every application that calls for a cable tie since they come in a broad variety of lengths and thicknesses. They are more robust the broader they are.</p><p>Although they are often purchased in black or white, you may also get them in various colors if you require them. However, most people simply use them as practical fasteners and are not concerned with how they look. Although you may buy them individually, doing so is highly costly, and it is uncommon to require just one. The other option is having to purchase a bundle of 100. Although some bigger DIY shops offer them in packs as little as 10, you should avoid purchasing them in this quantity since, more often than not, you can obtain a package of 100 cable ties from a specialized fastener provider for much the same price or less.</p><h2>Purchase your cable white ties from us</h2><p>It would be much better to order them from a fastener specialist online, whose prices will typically be much lower than those offered in Do It Yourself stores.

Reusable Cable Ties, Releasable Zip Ties & Wire Ties | RS

<p>Regular cable ties and reusable zip ties are not always the same. Although these tools are comparable, reusable cable ties are far more adaptable and environmentally friendly since they may be used again. Depending on how they are made, many different kinds of reusable ties may be utilized in a range of applications, making it simple to handle any kind of wire or product. These strong cable ties are designed to be flexible and durable so that they may be used repeatedly without breaking.</p>What are reusable cable ties?<p>Releasable zip ties are an excellent option for usage in the home or office since they are used repeatedly to bundle computer cables, household wires, and other items.Another useful alternative to reusable zip ties is beaded ties. They are more adaptable for usage in severe weather conditions since they come in a wider variety of colors and materials.</p><h2>How to release a cable tie?</h2><h3>The right way to remove reusable zip ties</h3><p>While some reusable zip ties employ pawl releases, many of them use trigger releases. The trigger release firmly binds everything together but only disengages when touched by a person. Fast undoing of a finger-catch system at the lock end prevents it from obstructing fast-paced work. Simply depressing the pawl handle will release the head ratchet as from tie and allow you to simply take the tail out.</p><h3>Another method for releasing removable cable ties</h3><p>Self-adhesive is used in another kind of reusable cable tie for an easy-to-use and lightweight design. To keep together larger groups of wires or cables, you will need to use strong reusable zip ties. One of the biggest benefits that you can get out of releasable cable ties is their flexibility and shape-maintenance capabilities. The ties may be used for bundling wire or cables in a variety of ways due to their extreme strength. Because the releasable cable maintains its form after being knotted, many electrical locations will also employ them for electronic applications. Many different colors of ties are available, however the majority of ties that are offered are black, so they don't interfere with product displays.</p>
