Product Information
Full details
This guide is for anyone needing reliable cable management solutions. The On1shelf Standard Nylon Cable Ties in Brown offer a durable and versatile option for securing bundles of wires or other items, with a key benefit of being made from flame-retardant Polyamide 6/6 Zero Halogen material. A potential caveat is that while these ties are robust, their flammability rating of UL 94-2 Class V2 indicates they self-extinguish but can burn under certain conditions, so extreme heat environments may require specialized alternatives. Key features include high dielectric strength, resistance to various chemicals, and availability in multiple lengths and widths, including extra-long and extra-wide options.

Extended Product Information
FAQs
What does 'Zero Halogen' mean for these cable ties?
Zero Halogen means the material does not contain halogens like bromine or chlorine. This is important because when materials containing halogens burn, they can release toxic and corrosive gases. Zero Halogen materials are safer in fire situations as they emit fewer toxic fumes.
What is the flammability rating UL 94-2 Class V2?
UL 94-2 Class V2 is a standard for flammability of plastic materials. V2 rating means that after ignition, the material stops burning on its own within 30 seconds, and drips of the material are allowed to burn but must not ignite cotton that is placed below them.
Can these cable ties be reused?
No, standard nylon cable ties are designed for single use. Once the locking mechanism is engaged, they cannot be easily reopened without cutting them.
What is the tensile strength of these ties?
Tensile strength varies depending on the width and length of the cable tie. Please refer to the specific product's technical data sheet for exact tensile strength ratings. For example, wider ties generally have higher tensile strength.
How should I store these cable ties?
Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, excessive heat, or moisture to preserve the integrity of the polyamide material.
Are there larger or smaller sizes available?
Yes, besides the standard sizes, On1shelf offers extra-long options (up to 900mm) and extra-wide options (7.2mm, 9.0mm, and 12.0mm) to accommodate a broader range of bundling needs.
Can these be used for outdoor applications?
While they have good chemical resistance, prolonged exposure to UV radiation from sunlight can degrade nylon over time. For long-term outdoor use, UV-resistant cable ties are generally recommended. However, for temporary outdoor use, they may be suitable.
Troubleshooting
Cable tie won't tighten or lock
Ensure the pointed end is correctly inserted into the locking head and that there are no obstructions. Check for damage to the ratchet teeth on the tie or the pawl inside the head.
Cable tie breaks during tightening
The tie may be too small for the bundle, or excessive force was applied. Ensure you are using the correct size and apply steady, even pressure. Check for nicks or damage on the tie before use.
Difficulty trimming excess length
Use sharp wire cutters or specialized cable tie removal tools for a clean cut. Avoid using dull blades which can crush or damage the tie.
Material appears brittle or degraded
The ties may have been exposed to UV light, extreme temperatures, or harsh chemicals. Store properly and replace ties that show signs of degradation.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Durable and robust construction from Polyamide 6/6.
- Flame-retardant properties with a UL 94-2 Class V2 rating for enhanced safety.
- Excellent electrical insulation due to high dielectric strength.
- Good resistance to various chemicals, suitable for industrial use.
- Wide range of sizes and widths available for diverse applications.
- Multiple color options aid in cable management and identification.
Cons
- Flammability rating (V2) means they can still burn under certain conditions.
- May not be suitable for extremely high-temperature environments without additional protection.
- Limited flexibility in very cold conditions.
- Standard single-use design; cannot be reopened once fastened.
- Zero Halogen property is beneficial but doesn't eliminate all combustion risks.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Select the appropriate cable tie size (length and width) for the bundle you need to secure. Ensure the length is sufficient to loop around the bundle with a small overlap for fastening.
- Thread the pointed end of the tie through the locking head.
- Pull the tie taut around the bundle. The internal ratchet mechanism will engage, securing the tie.
- Trim any excess length with cutters, ensuring the cut end is smooth to avoid injury or damage to surrounding items.
Compatibility:
These cable ties are compatible with a wide range of materials including plastic, rubber, metal, and fabric. Their dielectric strength makes them suitable for use around electrical wiring. Ensure the operating temperature of the environment is within the material's limits (typically -40°C to 85°C for polyamide 6/6, though check specific product data for exact ranges).
Care:
- Store cable ties in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures to maintain material integrity.
- Clean with a dry or slightly damp cloth if they become dusty. Avoid using harsh solvents or abrasive cleaners.
- For best results, use ties within their intended application; do not use them for structural support or in applications exceeding their tensile strength.
