The EM Group 2-LOCK cable tie, measuring 360x4.5 mm, is a professional-grade solution designed for demanding cable management tasks. These black, UV-resistant ties are engineered to withstand harsh environmental conditions, making them an ideal choice for both outdoor installations and industrial applications. The integration of a high-strength stainless steel locking mechanism ensures a superior grip and long-term reliability, preventing slippage even under tension or vibration.
Advantages
The primary advantage of these cable ties is the advanced 2-LOCK system, which utilizes stainless steel teeth to provide a significantly stronger and more secure hold compared to standard all-plastic ties. The UV-resistant material composition prevents degradation and brittleness when exposed to direct sunlight, ensuring the integrity of the bundle over extended periods. Their robust construction allows for consistent performance in challenging industrial settings where durability is paramount.
Suitable for
- Securing electrical cables in outdoor environments
- Industrial cable bundling and wire management
- Fastening components in automotive or construction projects
- Long-term installations requiring high tensile strength
When it may not be suitable
These cable ties may not be the optimal choice for delicate or soft-jacketed cables where the stainless steel teeth could potentially cause damage if overtightened. They are also not intended for applications requiring frequent removal or reusability, as the locking mechanism is designed for a permanent, secure fit.
Key specifications
- Dimensions: 360 mm length by 4.5 mm width
- Material: UV-resistant polymer with stainless steel locking teeth
- Color: Black
- Quantity: 100 pieces per package
- Locking mechanism: Stainless steel barb for high-strength retention
How to use
To use the cable tie, wrap the strap around the bundle of cables or objects you wish to secure. Insert the tapered end of the tie into the locking head. Pull the strap through the head until the desired tension is achieved. The stainless steel tooth will automatically engage with the strap, locking it firmly in place. Use a cable tie tensioning tool or side cutters to trim any excess length for a clean, professional finish.
What to consider before purchase
- Ensure the 360 mm length is sufficient for the diameter of your cable bundle
- Verify that the 4.5 mm width meets the load-bearing requirements of your installation
- Confirm that the environment is compatible with UV-resistant plastic materials
Usage recommendations
For optimal results, ensure the cable tie is pulled tight enough to prevent movement but avoid excessive force that could damage the cable insulation. When installing outdoors, position the locking head away from direct water runoff if possible to maintain long-term performance.
