Reusable self-locking cable tie QOLTEC 52240, adjustable length, plastic fastener

QOLTEC 52240 is a reusable self-locking cable tie designed for bundling and organizing cables, hoses and other items. Made from nylon with a UV-stable finish and a plastic fastener featuring a releasable locking mechanism, this adjustable-length tie allows repeated fastening and unfastening without damaging the bundled items. Its compact dimensions and simple operation make it suitable for tidy cable runs in home, office, workshop or data-cabinet environments.

Advantages

The reusable self-locking design combines a secure grip with a release tab so the tie can be adjusted or removed and used again. Manufactured from UV-stable nylon, the tie resists degradation from sunlight exposure and offers a lightweight but durable solution for repeated use. Its adjustable length accommodates a range of bundle diameters while the plastic fastener minimizes abrasion on cable jackets.

Suitable for

• Bundling electrical and data cables in offices and server cabinets
• Temporary installations and maintenance where repeated access is required
• Organizing hoses, pipes and loose items in workshops and garages
• Fastening garden hoses and outdoor wiring where UV resistance is needed
• Courses, exhibitions or events requiring non-permanent cable management

Key specifications

• Material: nylon with UV-stable formulation
• Locking mechanism: releasable self-locking fastener
• Color: white
• Nominal cross section: 4.8 mm width
• Length: 200 mm (adjustable to fit various bundle sizes)
• Reusability: designed for multiple fastening and release cycles

How to use

Wrap the cable tie around the bundle, insert the tail through the fastener head and pull to the required tension. To adjust or remove, press the release tab on the fastener while easing the tail back through the head; this allows reuse without cutting. For secure bundling, avoid over-tightening which can deform cable jackets. Check the tie periodically for wear if used in outdoor or high-movement applications.

Usage recommendations

For best results, group cables by function before fastening and leave some slack to prevent strain on connectors. Use ties of appropriate length to avoid excess tail protrusion, and replace ties if signs of cracking or severe abrasion appear. When used outdoors, position ties where UV exposure is limited when possible to extend service life.
