Cable Ties Strength Chart
Black And Natural Nylon Cable Ties
The weight our Nylon cable ties can carry is indicated by their Tensile Strength rating. Generally, the wider the cable tie the higher the Tensile Strength.
When planning your requirements you should use the Tensile Strength of the cable ties you intend to use to give an indication of how many ties are needed to hold the required weight safely. We advise you always use more than the minimum number required.
| Tensile Strengths | |
