Panduit Cable Ties are available in a wide range of sizes, styles and materials for fastening, bundling, clamping and identifying in a variety of applications. All Panduit Cable Ties are designed and manufactured to meet or exceed industry standards to deliver maximum reliability.

What styles of Panduit Cable Ties are available?

Here are a few of the more commonly used types:

• Locking cable ties are by far the most common; they are a one-time use tie.
• Releasable ties are also available. They use a release mechanism in the head that allows them to be re-used.
• Low profile cable ties are made with a curved head that is shaped to conform to the curvature of the wire bundle that is being secured.
• Marker ties have a flat surface built into the tie or head that allows marking for identification purposes.
• Clamp ties have a stud hole built into the head to secure the tie/wire bundle to a solid surface.

What material is a Panduit Cable Tie available in?

Here are a few of the most common:

• Nylon is the most common cable tie material. Standard nylon 6.6 is intended for indoor use. It is a natural milky white in color. UV resistant nylon is also commonly used and is intended for indoor or outdoor use, they are black in color.
• Stainless Steel cable ties carry a much higher tensile strength (break point) than standard nylon and can withstand harsher environments.
• Tefzel cable ties have a very high resistance to most industrial chemicals as well as UV radiation and extreme temperatures. They are a distinct aqua-blue in color.

How do you choose the right Panduit Cable Tie?

• Length: A cable tie's length is determined by measuring from its head to its tail. Lengths are generally approximate and are rounded off to the closest half-inch. The length needed is determined by establishing what bundle diameter you are working with.
• Bundle Diameter: The Bundle Diameter is determined by measuring the Diameter of the closed cable tie circle. Although the length of two cable ties may be the same the bundle diameters may be different depending on where the teeth (used to lock the cable tie) begin. In Most applications after the items are bundled or tied the excess cable tie is cut off. Therefore, when necessary, one can usually substitute with a longer length tie.
• Tensile Strength: The Tensile given in pounds is a measure of the amount of outward pressure that the ties can handle before breaking. Tensile Strengths range from 18 lb. for miniature ties to 250 lb. for extra-Heavy-Duty Ties.
