As the name implies, nylon cable ties are straps used for binding objects; they are also known simply as cable ties, wire ties, or bundling straps.
Why do nylon cable tie specifications vary-with some listed as 2.5×100, 3.6×200, and 4.8×300, while others are 3×100, 4×200, and 5×300? What is the difference?
Nylon cable ties can be categorized by function into types such as self-locking, marker (labeling), releasable, and tamper-evident. Specifications are typically designated as "width × length," and it is important to distinguish between actual dimensions and nominal dimensions.
Key parameters include the operating temperature range, flame retardancy rating, tensile strength, and maximum bundling diameter. The operating temperature range is commonly -20°C to 80°C (with some models reaching -40°C to 85°C), and the flame retardancy rating is typically UL94 V-2.
