These heavy-duty fluorescent blue cable ties from SmartHome are ideal for organizing cables, securing items, or general use in workshops, homes, or construction sites. Their strong Nylon 66 construction ensures durability, and the fluorescent color offers high visibility.

FAQs

What is the working temperature range for these ties?
They are designed to work effectively in temperatures ranging from -40°C to 85°C.
Are these cable ties suitable for outdoor use?
Yes, they are suitable for outdoor use, but prolonged direct sunlight may cause the fluorescent color to fade over time.
What does UL94V2 rating mean?
UL94V2 is a flammability rating from Underwriters Laboratory, indicating that the material will stop burning within 10 seconds after the flame is removed, and dripping of flaming particles is allowed.

These are generally considered single-use items. Once tightened and locked, they are typically cut for removal.

The dimensions are 300mm in length and 4.8mm in width.

Troubleshooting
Cable tie does not lock securely.
Ensure the tie is fully inserted into the locking head and that there are no obstructions. Check that the tie is not damaged or stretched beyond its capacity.
Cable tie breaks during tightening.
Do not over-tighten. Ensure the item being bundled is not too large or stiff, which could cause excessive pressure. Check that the tie is not old or brittle from improper storage.
Difficulty cutting excess tie length.
Use sharp scissors, a utility knife, or wire cutters for a clean cut. For larger quantities, consider using cable tie removal tools for efficiency.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
These cable ties are designed for simple manual application. Insert the pointed end of the tie through the locking mechanism at the other end, and pull to tighten around the desired item(s). Trim any excess length with scissors or cutters for a neat finish.
Compatibility:
Compatible with a wide range of materials and bundling needs. The Nylon 66 material is resistant to most common solvents and chemicals. Not recommended for use in applications involving extreme abrasion or constant friction, as this can wear down the material over time.
Care:
For best results and longevity, store cable ties in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Clean ties with a damp cloth if they become dirty. Avoid exposing them to excessive heat beyond their rated working temperature range. While durable, they are single-use items; once locked, they typically need to be cut to be removed.
