UHElectric‘s flame-retardant cable ties are specifically designed for applications requiring enhanced performance in high-temperature environments. These ties are made from a halogen-free, flame-retardant composite material of nylon 6/6, achieving a UL94V-0 flame retardancy rating. They can be used in both high and normal temperatures and effectively reduce fire spread in the event of a fire, ensuring overall safety in enclosed or high-risk environments.
These ties range in length from 80 mm to 2000 mm and width from 2.5 mm to 12.4 mm, providing various fastening solutions for applications such as distribution cabinets, transportation systems, public utilities, telecommunications, and industrial facilities. Compared to standard cable ties, the flame-retardant material maintains stable tensile strength and fastening performance while improving flame retardancy.
These Cable ties are designed to meet the stringent safety requirements of critical facilities such as data centers, steel structures, commercial buildings, and equipment assemblies.
Shop By Nylon
Nylon cable ties are the most widely used solution for everyday cable management and electrical installations. Made from durable PA66 material, they offer strong tensile performance, smooth locking action, and reliable bundling for home, industrial, and commercial applications. Ideal for wiring, organizing, and general fastening tasks.
Shop by Functional
Functional cable ties are designed for specialized tasks where standard ties are not enough. This range includes releasable, heavy-duty, UV-resistant, marker, mountable head, and push-mount designs. Each type provides unique features to handle challenging environments, precise labeling needs, or repeated bundling in electrical, automotive, and industrial settings.
Shop By Stainless Steel
Stainless steel cable ties offer maximum durability for harsh outdoor and industrial environments. Made from 304 or 316 stainless steel, they resist corrosion, extreme temperatures, chemicals, and UV exposure. Ideal for heavy-load fastening in solar systems, pipelines, HVAC, marine use, and high-temperature areas where nylon ties cannot perform reliably.

Cable Ties: The Ultimate Guide to Zip Ties, Tie Wraps, and More
Cable ties are the most popular and economical products that UHElectric.com offers. The demand for the cable ties we manufacture and supply is exceptional. Not only due to their affordability but also because of their inherent quality.
Furthermore, it is essential to purchase zip ties that are made with virgin nylon 6/6 resins, as quality raw materials affect the tensile strength and durability. Cable ties longevity and overall strength will be significantly affected if the wire ties are made using recycled material.
What is Cable Tie?
Cable ties are versatile fastening devices primarily used to bundle, organize, or secure cables, wires, and other items. Known for their simplicity and durability, cable ties are a staple in industries like construction, electronics, and automotive repair, as well as for home use.
These ties come in many variations, including:
Nylon cable ties – lightweight and durable
Stainless steel zip ties – ideal for high-temperature and corrosive environments
Releasable tie wraps – reusable and adjustable
Colored cable ties – perfect for color-coded organization
Heavy-duty cable ties – designed for demanding applications
The History of Cable Ties
Cable ties were invented in 1958 by Thomas & Betts, an electrical company, to solve the problem of securing wire harnesses in airplanes. The original design was called the Ty-Rap, featuring a stainless-steel locking mechanism and a nylon body.
Over time, the design evolved. Modern cable ties now come in a wide array of sizes, colors, and materials, catering to industries such as:
Aerospace
Automotive
Telecommunications
Retail packaging
Fun fact: The term “zip tie” became popular due to the distinctive “zipping” sound the tie makes when secured.

Types of Cable Ties and Their Uses
1. Standard Nylon Cable Ties
These are the most common type and are used for general applications, from bundling cables behind a TV to organizing tools.
2. Heavy-Duty Cable Ties
Designed to withstand extreme stress, these ties are perfect for construction and industrial use.
3. Stainless Steel Cable Ties
These ties are ideal for harsh environments where resistance to chemicals, UV exposure, or high temperatures is critical.
4. Releasable and Reusable Zip Ties
Perfect for temporary applications, these ties can be used, removed, and reused multiple times.
5. Metal Detectable Cable Ties
Commonly used in the food processing industry, these ties ensure safety by being easily detectable by metal detectors.
Who invented Cable Ties? When were Zip Ties invented?
Cable ties, also known as zipper ties or cable ties, were invented in 1958 by Maurus C. Logan, an engineer at Thomas & Betts, an electrical company in Memphis, Tennessee.
