The BLOW 41-234# self-locking cable tie in black, size 5.5×500 mm, is a single-use fastening solution designed to secure and organize cables, hoses and bundles in a variety of settings. Its narrow-profile strap and reliable one-way locking head allow for firm tensioning and hold, making it suitable for electrical installations, industrial cable runs and household cable management where a durable, low-profile fastener is required.
Advantages
This cable tie features a self-locking mechanism that ensures secure retention after tensioning and resists loosening under static load. The 5.5 mm width provides a balance between flexibility and strength for medium-duty bundling, while the 500 mm length accommodates larger bundles or multiple items. The black color offers UV resistance and a discreet appearance in visible installations. The narrow, smooth strap design permits neat routing and reduces bulk around secured items.
Suitable for
- Bundling electrical and data cables in commercial and residential installations
- Securing hoses and tubes in workshops and industrial environments
- Temporary fixes and mounting of lightweight components
- Organizing wiring in racks, cabinets and machinery
Key specifications
- Material: durable polymer (self-locking strap)
- Width: 5.5 mm
- Length: 500 mm
- Color: black
- Lock type: one-way self-locking head
- Profile: narrow and flexible strap suitable for medium-duty applications
How to use
Insert the tail of the cable tie through the locking head, position the strap around the bundle or item to be secured, and pull the tail to tighten until the desired tension is reached. The one-way lock prevents reversal, so trim excess strap close to the head after securing to achieve a neat finish. Use appropriate cutting tools to avoid damage to the bundle when trimming.
Usage recommendations
For permanent or load-critical applications, verify that the tie's width and material suit the expected forces and environmental conditions. When used outdoors or in direct sunlight, choose black ties for improved UV resistance. Avoid over-tensioning to prevent damage to insulated cables or delicate hoses; apply gradual tension and check routing to eliminate sharp bends or pinching.
