We know about cable ties!

Cable ties for industry, cabling and assembly

Cable ties are used to bundle, secure and organize cables and components in assembly, electrical installation and technical production. At KACAB, you’ll find cable ties for both standard applications and more demanding environments where material, strength and temperature resistance are important factors.

The range includes cable ties in several lengths, widths and designs. Standard polyamide cable ties are often used for normal indoor cable routing. For outdoor use or environments where the cable ties are exposed to sunlight, UV-resistant cable ties should be selected. For applications with higher requirements for locking strength, vibration resistance or operational reliability, special cable ties are also available, such as 2-Lock cable ties, stainless steel cable ties and detectable cable ties.

Rätt buntband väljs utifrån användningsområde, miljö och belastning. Viktiga egenskaper att ta hänsyn till är längd, bredd, draghållfasthet, material, temperaturintervall och eventuell UV-beständighet. För enklare fixering räcker ofta ett standardbuntband, medan industriella applikationer kan kräva ett starkare eller mer specialiserat alternativ.

The right cable tie is selected based on the application, environment and load. Important properties to consider include length, width, tensile strength, material, temperature range and any UV resistance. For simple fastening, a standard cable tie is often sufficient, while industrial applications may require a stronger or more specialized option.

When choosing a cable tie, you should ask yourself the following questions:

Length – how long does the band have to be to reach around what I specifically want to bundle?
Strength – does the cable tie need a specific tensile strength? Will it be used to secure something heavy?
Environment – will the cable tie be used in a particularly harsh environment, such as outdoors with UV exposure or in contact with chemicals?
Temperature – what is the ambient temperature where the cable tie will be used?

Some storage tips!
Always store the cable ties in a sealed plastic bag.
Similarly, do not expose the ties to direct sunlight.
Finally, do not leave the ties too close to direct heat sources (radiators).

In summary, if you have questions regarding cable ties, contact KACAB Teknik AB first!

FAQ

Which cable tie should I choose?
Choose cable ties based on environment, load and application. For normal indoor cable routing, standard polyamide cable ties often work well. For outdoor use, you should choose UV-resistant cable ties, and for demanding industrial environments, stainless steel or specially adapted cable ties may be a better choice.

What does UV-resistant cable ties mean?
UV-resistant cable ties are designed for environments where they are exposed to sunlight. They are often used outdoors or in installations where standard plastic material would otherwise risk breaking down more quickly.

When are stainless steel cable ties used?
Stainless steel cable ties are used in environments with high requirements for strength, temperature resistance or resistance to chemicals, moisture and mechanical impact.

What are 2-Lock cable ties?
2-Lock cable ties are cable ties with a special locking mechanism that provides high locking strength and secure fastening. They are often used when cable routing or assembly requires extra operational reliability.

Can cable ties be used outdoors?
Yes, but choose the right type. For outdoor use, UV-resistant cable ties are normally recommended, as they withstand sunlight better than standard cable ties.
