One cannot overlook the expertise and innovation of Panduit® cable management products. Since it was established in 1955, the company has produced impressive surface raceways and cable managers, in addition to some of the most comprehensive and high-performance cable ties on the market. With nylon, aluminum, hook and loop, and stainless steel cable ties to help you mount cable bundles, label wires, and even beat the elements, there's a Panduit® cable tie to match just about any need. Below, we've outlined the specs, uses, and features of several Panduit® cable tie types, to help you best decide which kind is right for you.
PAN-TY® NYLON CABLE TIES
These have the classic cable tie design and are made of the quintessential cable tie material: nylon. When it comes to bundling cables in non-extreme environments like homes, offices, garden sheds, or classrooms, these are the perfect go-to solution. As a standard type, what makes them so special? Pan-Ty® Nylon Cable Ties for starters have the lowest threading force of any comparable product on the market, which means they're the easiest to install of any cable tie out there. Add to the fact they're UL-rated for flame resistance, come in a couple of sizes, and can be linked together to form even longer lengths.
PAN-TY® MARKER AND FLAG TIES
Instead of bundling and labeling cables in two separate steps, save yourself time and money by rolling both jobs into one with the Pan-Ty® Marker and Flag Ties. These little multi-taskers combine cables ties and wire markers into an easy to use, one-piece molded design. They provide you with the means to organize and identify cables in as little time as it takes to cinch on a cable tie. Marker and Flag Ties have a UL 94 V-0 flame-resistance rating that makes them safe for use indoors. They additionally make an excellent toolbox companion for electricians and network technicians, who frequently need to ID cable bundles.
PANDUIT® PAN-ALUM™ MLT SERIES ALUMINUM CABLE TIES
Who knew that a cable tie this tough could be so lightweight and flexible? The rugged Pan-Alum™ MLT Series Aluminum Cable Tie from Panduit® is UV-resistant, non-flammable, and can stand up to extreme hot and cold temperatures ranging from 212°F (100°C) all the way down to –112°F (-80°C). Edges are rounded to protect installers’ hands and cables.
PAN-STEEL® SELF-LOCKING STAINLESS STEEL CABLE TIES
Pan-Steel® Self-Locking Stainless Steel Cable Ties from Panduit® are the ultimate choice for bundling cables and clamping hoses in high-temp and corrosive environments, like aircraft and automotive engine bays, petrochemical plants, nuclear facilities, aerial cable runs, marine environments, and railroad applications. They can withstand temperatures that range from –112°F (-80°C) to 1,000°F (538°C), and have excellent resistance to weather, chemicals, and radiation. Suitable for both indoor and outdoor use, Pan-Steel® ties have a tensile strength of 200 PSI, are nonflammable, can be used in direct burial applications, and have an estimated outdoor lifespan of 40 years. Contrary to their unyielding appearance, stainless steel cable ties have rounded edges that make them safer and more comfortable for technicians to install. Their design also prevents the ties from abrading or digging into cables and hoses.
PANDUIT® PLENUM RATED TAK-TY® HOOK AND LOOP CABLE TIES
The Panduit® Plenum Rated Tak-Ty® Hook and Loop Cable Ties are gentle enough to organize wires without over-tightening and damaging them, yet tough enough to hold up in plenum or air handling spaces. These cable ties are UL listed and certified for these spaces. They are designed to meet and pass most building code inspections.
