Outside serrated ties
OS Series Outside Serrated Ties
Features and Benefits:
The ever increasing demands within the mass transit, automotive and data cable installation industries for tighter bundles has led to problems with the conventional inside serrated cable tie design causing damage to cable insulations, especially in vibration environments. The OS range of outside serrated cable ties have overcome these problems. The design offers high tensile strengths, low insertion forces and a smooth surface to the cable insulation – minimising any indentation or damage. The curved shape of the head allows the tie to follow the contours of the cable and takes up less space than other designs of cable ties.
Application:
Designed originally for the automotive market these ties are now being used in many areas where thin-walled or soft insulation wires and cable are being installed, e.g. railways, aircraft, data cable installations, electronics.
RPE Series and PE Series Low Profile Ties
Features and Benefits:
These cable ties are “outside serrated“, presenting a smooth surface to the cable bundle. This, combined with the width of the ties, gives a broad contact area with the cable,avoiding any problems with damage to the insulation. The PE/RPE ranges have the benefit of EDF (French Electricity Board) approval. The “Low Profile“ design of the head allows for use in applications with restricted space. The RPE ties are releasable, reusable allowing for the addition or removal of cables after installation.
Application:
Designed primarily for use within the electrical supply industry these ties are particularly useful in areas with limited space, due to their low profile “parallel entry” closure. Particularly suitable for outdoor use as they are manufactured from “UV“ resistant polyamides. Coloured versions of PE400 are ideal for securing foam padding to playground equipment, by effectively applying the tie 'inside out'. This ensures there are no sharp edges and ultimate safety. PE400 can also be colour matched for any application.
