Cable Ties: Metal

CGUK’s metal cable ties, also known as metal zip ties, are perfect for securing external cables and wires. They have high tensile strength which stops the ties being snapped or forced open so a strong secure connection. Metal cable ties have higher breaking strain than plastic ties so are more suitable for heavy duty use.

• Not affected by UV

• Made from stainless steel for high tensile strength that won’t snap

• Corrosion resistant

• Flame retardant for safety and reliability in harsh environments like mass transit and shipbuilding

• Suitable for very hot, aggressive and hazardous environments including ship building and oil rigs

• Temperature range -60 °C to +300 °C

• Will withstand exposure to various industrial solvents

What are Metal Cable Ties?

Metal cable ties, also known as stainless steel cable ties, are specialized fasteners designed to hold together wires, electrical cables and other objects. Made from high quality stainless steel these ties offer high strength, durability and corrosion resistance. They’re perfect for use in industries like construction, manufacturing and transportation where they have to withstand high temperature environments and harsh conditions. Whether you’re bundling cables or securing wires, metal cable ties are the reliable solution that can take the toughest demands.

Design

A Self locking head design for fast installation and locks into place at any length. Available in various lengths from 150mm to 520mm for different applications. A Strong and durable way of cable bundling. Temperature range -60°C to +300°C. Metallic surface finish. UL94 Fireproof & UV Resistant. Cost effective solution for long term use in harsh environments for reliability and durability.

Material

316L Grade Non-Magnetic Stainless Steel. This material has higher breaking strain than plastic ties so is suitable for heavy duty use. The 316 stainless steel gives high tensile strength and durability.

Colour

Silver Metal. Can also be used to secure wires and label items, adds extra functionality. Durable and versatile for various organisational and identification tasks.

Metal Cable Ties Types

There are several types of metal cable ties available, each with different features and benefits for different applications:

• Stainless Steel Cable Ties: Made from 316 grade stainless steel these ties have excellent corrosion resistance and high tensile strength for harsh environments.

• Coated Stainless Steel Cable Ties: With a coating these ties prevent reaction with galvanized metal and other materials and increase durability.

• Uncoated Stainless Steel Cable Ties: Suitable for non-corrosive environments, these ties are cost effective without compromising on strength.

• Metal Zip Ties: With self locking head design these ties are easy to install and secure fastening for a strong hold.

Each type of metal cable tie is designed for specific needs and will perform reliably in various harsh conditions.

Metal Cable Ties Applications

Metal cable ties are versatile tools used across many industries for various applications:

• Cable Management: For securing wires and cables in high temperature environments like industrial, data centers and telecommunications.

• Construction: For securing cables and wires in building construction, bridge construction and other infrastructure projects.

• Manufacturing: For securing cables and wires in manufacturing processes in automotive, aerospace and electronics industries.

• Transportation: For securing cables and wires in vehicles, ships and aircraft for safety and organisation.

These applications show how metal cable ties are used to maintain order and safety in demanding environments.

Choosing the Right Metal Cable Tie

When choosing a metal cable tie consider the following:

• Material: Choose high quality stainless steel ties that have excellent corrosion resistance and durability.

• Length: Choose a tie that’s the right length for your application, from a few mm to several metres.

• Width: Choose a tie with the right width for your needs, from a few mm to several cm.

• Colour: While silver is common metal cable ties are also available in black and white for different applications.

• Tensile Strength: Make sure the tie has high tensile strength to withstand harsh conditions and heavy load.

By considering these factors you can choose the right metal cable tie for your needs and get reliable performance and longevity in any application.
