Cable Ties

Cable Ties And Accessories From NTE Electronics, Inc.

NTE has a complete line of Cable Ties and Accessories designed to work in almost all applications. From traditional nylon to reusable hook and loop, the selector guide on the left will allow you to quickly and easily find the one for your application.

A cable tie is a band or length of strap traditionally manufactured from a class of polymeric materials known as polyamides (Nylon 6/6) but now also includes cable ties made from Hook and Loop material. The width, length, and head area of traditional nylon cable ties employ ratcheting mechanisms while hook and loop construction allows for use over and over again. Both types allow for locking as necessary for "bundling" items together. Nylon possesses an outstanding balance of properties, combining strength, moderate stiffness, high service temperature and a high level of toughness. Particularly resistant to repeated impact, nylon has a low coefficient of friction and an excellent abrasion resistance. Nylon is resistant to fuels, lubricants, and most chemicals, but is attacked by phenols, strong acids, and oxidizing agents. Nylon is inherently susceptible to environmental conditions. NTE's cable ties are moisturized to attain optimum performance levels. Nylon product should be stored in cool dry areas, out of direct sunlight, and sealed in the original packaging materials. These measures will extend performance levels indefinitely.

General purpose nylon is suitable for use in most practical applications at continuous temperatures up to +150°F. Nylon 6/6, the grade most often used for cable tie production, meets UL 94V-2 flammability ratings. Its working temperature range is from +40°F to +185°F.

Heat Stabilized Nylon 6/6 is used in continuous or extended exposure to high temperatures (up to +257°F). A general-purpose nylon will have a reduction in physical properties and fatigue as a result of high temperatures. Nylon cable ties containing specially formulated heat stabilizers provide additional thermal endurance. Heat stabilized nylons are engineered for continuous exposure to temperatures above +185°F, which meet UL standards for electrical applications.

UV Stabilized Nylon 6/6 is used in continuous or extended exposure to outdoor use. The nylon cable tie is a weather resistant grade, enduring additional ultraviolet (UV) light. This grade is produced by incorporating stabilizers in the nylon resin. UV stabilized nylon cable ties are available only in black.
