Cable Ties
The complete range for every cable management job
Our Cable Ties Collection brings together every type of cable tie we supply, from everyday nylon ties to
specialist options for demanding environments. Whether you work in electrical installation, construction,
manufacturing, telecoms, or food processing, this range covers every fastening, bundling, colour coding,
and identification requirement.
Cable ties, also commonly known as zip ties or tie wraps, are widely used across trade and industry to
secure, bundle, and organise cables quickly and reliably. While the name varies by industry and location,
the function remains the same. Our collection includes
black cable ties
and
natural cable ties
for general use, along with
coloured cable ties
and neon cable ties for identification.
We also supply
UV and heat stabilised cable ties
for outdoor environments,
releasable cable ties
where temporary fastening is required, and
stainless steel cable ties
for high risk or extreme conditions. For traceability and compliance, we also offer
custom printed cable ties.
Our standard nylon cable ties are manufactured from high quality Nylon 66, offering dependable strength
and durability for everyday installations. Stainless steel cable ties are produced from corrosion
resistant and non-magnetic 316L stainless steel for demanding environments where long term performance matters. Sizes,
materials, and specifications are selected based on practical experience, not just catalogue listings,
making this a reliable one stop source for professional cable management.

Cable ties FAQs
Are all black cable ties UV resistant
Yes, black cable ties offer a degree of UV resistance due to the carbon black used in the material. However, for long
term outdoor use or continuous exposure to sunlight and temperature changes, UV and heat stabilised cable ties provide
significantly higher resistance and a longer service life than standard black cable ties.
What is the difference between cable ties, zip ties, and tie wraps
There is no difference between cable ties, zip ties, and tie wraps. They are the same product, with the terminology
varying by region and industry. Zip ties is more commonly used in the United States, while cable ties and tie wraps
are more widely used in the United Kingdom and trade environments. The term tie wraps is sometimes used generically
and originates from Ty Rap, a registered brand name introduced by Thomas and Betts.
What size cable tie should I use
The correct cable tie size depends on the bundle diameter and the application. Smaller cable ties are commonly used
for light duty cable management, while wider and longer cable ties provide higher tensile strength for heavier
bundles. Choosing a tie with sufficient length and width ensures a secure fastening without over tightening.
When should stainless steel cable ties be used instead of nylon
Stainless steel cable ties are used where high strength, heat resistance, corrosion resistance, or long term
durability is required. They are commonly chosen for outdoor installations, industrial environments, marine use, and
applications where plastic cable ties may degrade over time.
