Discover more about the Reusable Cable Ties range.
Reusable cable ties are versatile and innovative fasteners designed to bundle, secure, and organise cables and wires efficiently. Unlike traditional single-use cable ties, these ties are released and reused multiple times, making them an eco-friendly and cost-effective solution.
Reusable releasable cable ties feature a unique quick-release mechanism, such as an extended tooth release or trigger release, allowing for easy adjustments and repositioning. Manufactured from durable nylon, these re-useable cable ties come in various colours, lengths and strengths, catering to a wide range of projects in various industries
How Reusable Cable Ties Work
Reusable cable ties function by threading the tail through the head, where it engages with the release mechanism to lock securely in place. When adjustment or removal is needed, the release mechanism is activated to release the tie without damaging it, making these cable ties reusable.
Commonly used in scenarios requiring frequent changes or adjustments, these ties are used in scenarios such as data centres, audio-visual installations and automotive wiring harnesses. For instance, in a data centre, reusable cable ties help manage the complex network of cables, ensuring they are organised and accessible for maintenance or upgrades. Similarly, in automotive applications, they secure wiring alongside wiring loom tape, allowing for changes during repairs or component replacements.
What Material Reusable Cable Ties Are Made From
Our reusable cable ties are crafted from high-quality nylon, known for its excellent strength and flexibility. Nylon offers several benefits, including resistance to abrasion, chemicals and UV rays, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor applications.
Additionally, nylon's dielectric strength of 50,000 volts/mm ensures electrical insulation, crucial for cable management in electrical installations. The ties are available in various colours—black, white, red, blue, green, yellow, and brown—allowing for colour-coded organisation and easy identification of bundled cables.
For compliance, our reusable cable ties comply with UL 94 V-2 flammability ratings, ensuring safety in environments with stringent fire safety requirements. They are also halogen-free and compliant with ELV and WEEE directives, emphasising their eco-friendliness and suitability for environmentally conscious projects.
What Size and Type Releasable Cable Ties Are Available
Our range of releasable cable ties includes lengths from 100mm to 780mm and widths starting at 3.6mm, catering to various bundling needs. These ties are also available with different release mechanisms, such as extended tooth release and trigger release, to suit specific application requirements.
With tensile strengths ranging from 18.2kg to 79.4kg, our releasable cable ties provide robust and reliable performance under various loads. They are designed to operate in temperatures between -40ºC and 85ºC, ensuring durability and stability in extreme environments. Additionally, we offer various colour options to meet specific industry standards and functional needs, enhancing the versatility and adaptability of our cable ties for diverse applications.
FAQs
Are reusable cable ties any good?
Yes, reusable cable ties are just as effective as plastic cable ties. They offer the benefit of being adjustable and reusable, making them cost-effective and eco-friendly.
How do you remove reusable cable ties?
Removing reusable cable ties is easy. They feature a release mechanism, like an extended tooth or trigger release. To remove, simply press the release tab or trigger and pull the tie tail out of the locking head. This feature allows for multiple reuses of the tie, offering flexibility for adjustments.
How strong are reusable cable ties?
Reusable cable ties are very strong, with tensile strengths ranging from 18.2kg to 79.4kg. This makes them capable of securely bundling various loads in different applications, from data centres to automotive installations. They also perform well in temperatures from -40ºC to 85ºC, ensuring durability and versatility.
