Product Information
Full details
This guide is for anyone needing reliable cable management solutions. The On1shelf Cable Ties in Red offer a secure and durable way to organize wires, with a key benefit of their Polyamide 6/6 construction and UL 94-2 flammability rating. A minor caveat is the tensile strength, which is suitable for general use but may not be ideal for heavy-duty applications.

FAQs
What material are these cable ties made from?
These cable ties are made from high-quality Polyamide 6/6, also known as nylon.
What does UL 94-2 rating mean?
The UL 94-2 rating indicates that the material will stop burning within 10 seconds after flame is removed, and the dripping may include flaming drips, but these must not continue to ignite a cotton indicator placed below.
Can these ties be used for outdoor applications?
While they are durable, prolonged exposure to direct sunlight (UV radiation) can degrade Polyamide 6/6 over time. For extended outdoor use, UV-resistant cable ties are recommended.
What is the maximum weight these ties can hold?
The tensile strength is 18kgs (approximately 40 lbs), which is suitable for most general-purpose bundling needs.
How do I remove a cable tie?
Cable ties are single-use and are typically removed by cutting them with a sharp blade, wire cutters, or scissors.
Are these ties insulated?
They possess a high dielectric strength of 50,000 volts/mm, indicating good electrical insulation properties, making them suitable for use around electrical wiring.
What are the dimensions of this specific cable tie?
This cable tie measures 2.5mm in width and 100mm in length.
Troubleshooting
Cable tie breaks during tightening.
Ensure the tie is not being overtightened beyond its 18kgs tensile strength. Check for any sharp edges on the items being bundled that might be cutting into the tie.
Difficulty inserting the tie into the head.
Ensure the pointed end is straight and free from damage. The slight angle on the tip is designed for easy insertion; make sure it is aligned correctly with the slot in the head.
Tie does not lock securely.
Verify that the tie has been fully threaded through the head and that the locking pawl is engaging properly. Ensure the bundle is not too large or uneven, which can sometimes prevent a secure lock.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Durable and robust construction from Polyamide 6/6.
- Enhanced safety with UL 94-2 flammability rating.
- Good electrical insulation properties due to high dielectric strength.
- User-friendly design for quick and easy application.
- Bright red color aids in identification and organization.
Cons
- Tensile strength of 18kgs may be insufficient for very heavy loads.
- Limited to 100mm length, not suitable for large bundles.
- Single-use, requiring replacement after cutting.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Gather the cables or items to be bundled.
- Thread the pointed end of the cable tie through the locking head.
- Pull the tie snugly around the bundle.
- Trim any excess length with a sharp cutting tool close to the head to avoid sharp edges.
Compatibility:
These cable ties are compatible with a wide range of materials and applications that require bundling. They are suitable for use with electrical wires, network cables, hoses, and general organizational tasks. Their dielectric strength makes them a safer choice around electrical components compared to ties without this rating.
Care:
Cable ties are typically single-use items. Once applied and cut, they cannot be re-used. Store unused cable ties in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve the integrity of the Polyamide 6/6 material. Avoid exposing them to extreme temperatures or harsh chemicals.
