Cable ties and wire management products keep wiring neat, supported and protected in panels, vehicles, machines and ceilings. This section covers nylon 6/6 cable ties in natural and UV-resistant black, heat-stabilized ties, releasable ties, stainless steel ties, adhesive and screw mounts, cushioned P-clamps, split loom tubing, spiral wrap, braided sleeving and heat shrink tubing. Ties range from light-duty miniature sizes to heavy-duty ties rated around 120 to 175 lb.

What to check before you order

  • Tensile strength and length. Pick a tie rated for the load and long enough to go around the bundle with room to thread the tail.
  • Indoor or outdoor. Natural nylon is for indoor use. Use UV-resistant black or stainless steel ties in sunlight.
  • Heat and chemicals. Engine bays and hot equipment call for heat-stabilized nylon or stainless steel.
  • Heat shrink ratio. 2:1 tubing shrinks to half its supplied size and 3:1 to a third. Adhesive-lined tubing helps seal out moisture.
  • Installation. A cable tie tool sets even tension and trims the tail flush, which avoids sharp edges.

Fleet and upfit shops can see our line cards for the loom, ties and heat shrink used on vehicle installs. Related items are in wire and cable, connectors and terminals and the full electrical category.

Common questions

Are black cable ties UV resistant?

Not always. Color alone does not make a tie suitable for sunlight. Outdoor ties are labeled UV-resistant or weather-resistant; if the package does not say so, treat the tie as indoor only.

How do I choose the right size heat shrink tubing?

Pick tubing whose supplied inside diameter slides over the widest part it must pass, such as a terminal. Its recovered diameter should be smaller than the wire insulation it needs to grip, so it shrinks down tight.
