EM Group 2-LOCK Cable Tie 100 x 2.5 mm Black UV Resistant with Steel Teeth

The EM Group 2-LOCK cable tie, measuring 100 x 2.5 mm, is a high-performance fastening component engineered for demanding cable management tasks. Constructed from durable, UV-resistant material and equipped with integrated stainless steel teeth, this cable tie offers exceptional tensile strength and a secure locking mechanism. Its design ensures that once fastened, the tie remains firmly in place, providing a reliable solution for bundling and organizing wires in both indoor and outdoor settings.

Advantages

The primary benefit of the EM Group 2-LOCK cable tie lies in its advanced locking system featuring steel teeth, which provides a significantly higher grip compared to standard all-plastic ties. The UV-resistant composition makes it highly suitable for long-term exposure to sunlight, preventing the material from becoming brittle or degrading over time. Its compact size allows for precise bundling in tight spaces, while the robust construction ensures stability in industrial environments where vibration or temperature fluctuations might occur.

Suitable for

• Securing electrical wiring in outdoor installations
• Bundling cables in industrial machinery and control panels
• Organizing wires in automotive or marine applications
• General-purpose fastening where high durability is required

When it may not be suitable

This cable tie may not be the optimal choice for applications requiring frequent removal or repositioning, as the steel locking mechanism is designed for a permanent, high-strength hold. Additionally, for extremely heavy-duty industrial loads that exceed the tensile strength rating of a 2.5 mm width, a wider or thicker cable tie should be considered.

Key specifications

• Dimensions: 100 mm length x 2.5 mm width
• Material: UV-resistant polymer with stainless steel locking teeth
• Color: Black
• Locking mechanism: Integrated steel tooth for superior grip

How to use

To use the cable tie, insert the tapered end through the locking head and pull until the desired tightness is achieved. The integrated steel tooth will automatically engage with the ribbed surface of the tie, preventing it from loosening. Use a cable tie tensioning tool if a specific tension level is required, or trim the excess tail with a side cutter once the bundle is secured to ensure a clean finish.

What to consider before purchase

• Ensure the 100 mm length is sufficient for the diameter of the cable bundle you intend to secure.
• Verify that the 2.5 mm width meets the mechanical strength requirements of your specific application.
• Confirm that the environment does not involve chemical exposures that could affect the polymer material.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, avoid over-tightening the tie to the point of damaging the insulation of the cables being bundled. When installing in outdoor environments, ensure the tie is positioned to minimize direct mechanical stress on the locking head.
