Speaking of cable ties, they mean consumables, which are most often used for mounting any type of cable.
A cable tie is also used to fasten several cables together, that is, fix bundled wires. Even with the help of it, you can attach a bunch of cables to some structure that is a supporting one. We are talking about a beam or stand, for example.
Cable ties can be of two types:
1. Standard cable tie. She just pulls off any cable.
2. “Under the screw” - a standard retainer, but with a special hole designed for a screw or self-tapping screw so that it can be fixed to a wall or any other surface.
They can vary both in size and in color.
Cable ties can have a variety of lengths. The weight that it can withstand is directly proportional to this length. It is for this reason that it is necessary to take such a parameter as length very seriously. The fact is that the correct operation of each node is necessary in order for the entire system to operate correctly.
The aesthetic component is also of great importance. Remember that a properly and professionally laid cable will not only work reliably, but also look beautiful, it will not interfere with the passage or “hang under your feet”.
Most often, together with a cable tie, they also order a special kit with mounting brackets.
Ties are suitable for any type of cable - be it twisted pair, coaxial or telephone wire.
A cable tie can be called a cable tie in another way.
There are cable ties that are designed to be used outdoors. Such clamps retain all their properties even when constantly exposed to ultraviolet radiation. They are made of a material that is resistant to any weather conditions: temperature extremes, humidity or excessive dryness of the air. They also tolerate most aggressive chemicals and even solvents. They generally do not require any special storage conditions. Cable clamps are quite flexible and easily tightened without the use of special tools.
If you decide to mount cable ties with dowels, then you only need a drill. It will be necessary to drill a special hole in which you need to insert the dowel, and then you need to hammer the expansion wedge. The mount is ready and reliable. A removable lock can allow you to add or, conversely, remove the wires in the mounted line.
A cable tie is a convenient, fairly quick, and fairly economical way to attach a cable, as well as mark it. Using clamps of various colors, you can even select wires in the same type of group.
Such clamps can be of different types. For example, detachable, ball, with a petal lock, with a dowel, steel, ladder type, pipe and others. Choose those that are most attractive to you and suitable for the interior. Now you will have no problems with wires.
