Product Information
Full details
These Unicrimp Cable Ties in Beige are ideal for users needing robust cable management solutions that prioritize safety in environments with potential fire hazards. Their key benefit is the zero-halogenated material offering low smoke and fume properties, providing a significant advantage over traditional PVC ties. A potential caveat is their specific beige color, which might not suit all aesthetic requirements or color-coding systems. This product features a durable, one-piece molded design with a minimum tensile strength of 22.2KG, ensuring reliable performance for securing bundles of cables and other items.

FAQs
What does 'zero halogenated' mean for these cable ties?
'Zero halogenated' means the material contains no halogens (like chlorine or bromine). This is important for fire safety as it results in less toxic and corrosive smoke and fumes when the material burns, compared to halogenated plastics like PVC.
Are these cable ties suitable for outdoor use?
While they can be used outdoors, prolonged exposure to direct UV sunlight can degrade the plastic over time. For extended outdoor applications, UV-resistant cable ties are generally recommended.
Can these ties be reused?
No, these cable ties are designed for single-use application. Once locked, they are not intended to be opened and re-secured.
What is the minimum tensile strength of these ties?
The minimum tensile strength for these Unicrimp cable ties is 22.2KG.
Are there other colors available?
Yes, Unicrimp also offers cable ties in black (e.g., MPN QTB160S for 160mm and QTB370S for 370mm variants). Please check product listings for available colors and sizes.
Do these ties contain any metal parts?
No, these cable ties are produced as a complete one-piece molded unit with no metal parts, preventing issues like corrosion or electrical conductivity.
What is the pack quantity?
Each pack contains 100 cable ties.
Troubleshooting
Cable tie won't lock or stays loose.
Ensure the pointed end is correctly inserted into the locking mechanism and that the locking pawl is engaging with the serrations on the tie. Check for any debris in the locking head.
Cable tie breaks during tightening.
Verify the tensile strength required for the application. While these ties have a minimum strength of 22.2KG, excessive force beyond their capacity can cause breakage. Ensure no sharp edges are present on the items being bundled that could cut into the tie.
Difficulty trimming excess tie.
Use sharp cable cutters or scissors for a clean cut. If the tie is too tight to access, it may need to be loosened slightly or the items rearranged. Avoid using knives which can be hazardous.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Select the appropriate number of cable ties for your bundle.
- Thread the pointed end of the tie through the locking head.
- Pull the tie taut around the cables or items to be secured.
- Trim any excess length of the tie using scissors or cutters for a clean finish.
Compatibility:
These cable ties are suitable for general-purpose cable management and bundling of various items. They are compatible with most cable types, wire harnesses, and flexible conduits. Their material is designed to be inert with most common insulation materials. However, avoid prolonged exposure to extreme temperatures or harsh chemicals that may degrade plastic.
Care:
These cable ties are designed for single use and are not intended for repeated application or removal. To maintain their integrity, store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Clean the area where ties are applied as needed, but avoid harsh solvents directly on the ties.
