| Mille-Tie is a perfect tool when installing and maintaining punch down patch panels. In this example of a 24-way patch panel from TKM normally 24 cable ties would be used. But instead, only 4 Mille-Ties are required, a saving of 75%!
Mille-Tie perfectly matches the spacing between the tie-off pegs, so that only a single MIlle-Tie is needed for each bank of six. No other type of cable management system is able to offer this kind of simplicity or efficiency! |
Patch Panels |
Cable Trays & Baskets |
Much of the structured cabling that gets installed is placed into cable trays and baskets.
These present a special risk to the cabling, as the sharp edges can easily cut into the sleeving if the cables are pulled into them.
By using Mille-Ties ability to form multiple loops it is possible to bind the bundle by itself, and then affix it to the tray with a second loop, as pictured here.
In this way, cable bundles can adequately be spaced from the dangerous metal edges.
