Product Description
A cable tie, or zip tie, is a plastic strap with a small ratcheted head. You feed the tail through the head, pull, and it grips. The 3x60mm White Cable Ties | Nylon Zip Ties (SKU Cable-Ties-3x60mm-White) are a small, self-locking version made for tidying cable in CCTV, alarm and networking installations.
The size, in plain terms
- Width: 3mm, a slim strap
- Length: 60mm (6cm)
- Material and colour: white nylon
- Fastening: self-locking, so you tighten it by pulling the tail
Where it earns its place
Sixty millimetres is short, so these ties suit small bundles and individual drops inside enclosures, back boxes and trunking. Typical jobs include tidying a single camera drop, grouping a few patch leads, or holding alarm cable against its run.
Check before you buy
The tie has to wrap all the way round the cable and pass back through its own head. Wrap a piece of string around the bundle you want to gather, then hold it against a ruler. If the string is anywhere near 6cm, you will need a longer tie than this one.
White also shows up well against dark cable, which helps when you open a back box months later and want to see what was tied and where.
