The cable tie of the brand Cimco, type 181378, is a fastening element made of polyamide 6.6 (PA 6.6) in natural colour. It is specifically designed for the secure fastening of cable bundles and wiring, with dimensions of 3.5 mm width and 280 mm length enabling universal use in various installation scenarios. The maximum fastening force is 150 Newton, ensuring a firm and durable fixation even for larger cable bundles. The cable tie is suitable for cable bundles with a diameter of 3 to 80 mm, making it applicable for a wide range of uses in industrial and technical environments.

Cable ties made of PA 6.6 are characterised by high mechanical strength and resistance to environmental influences. The used plastic alloy offers good temperature resistance from -40 °C to 85 °C, enabling use in indoor and outdoor environments as well as in areas with changing climatic conditions. The material composition is halogen-free and self-extinguishing, increasing safety in case of fire hazards. The flammability class UL94 V-2 confirms low fire hazard and the ability to suppress fire without external ignition source.

Certification is a central aspect of this product. The cable tie meets the requirements of certification bodies UL, RiNA, DNV, LR and Bureau Veritas. These certifications guarantee compliance with international safety and quality standards, particularly in maritime, industrial and technical applications where reliability and conformity are critical. The certifications refer to the material quality, mechanical properties and fire protection performance of the product.

Application areas include electrical installation, automation technology, vehicle technology as well as maritime and industrial facilities. Due to the high temperature resistance and chemical resistance of the PA 6.6 material, the cable tie is also suitable for environments with increased mechanical stress or exposed locations. The natural colour ensures unobtrusive integration into existing installations.

Functions and equipment in detail include the self-extinguishing property, which prevents further burning when in contact with flame. The halogen-free composition reduces the formation of toxic gases at high temperatures, increasing safety during use. The cable ties are designed for easy handling and can be tensioned and fixed using an integrated ratchet mechanism. The length of 280 mm allows fastening of larger cable bundles, while the width of 3.5 mm provides sufficient load-bearing capacity.

Technology explained simply shows that the material choice PA 6.6 offers a combination of strength, flexibility and resistance against moisture and temperature fluctuations. The certifications by international bodies such as UL or DNV underline the reliability of the product in critical applications. The flammability class UL94 V-2 is a measure of fire behaviour testing, where the material extinguishes within 30 seconds after removal of the ignition source.

Compatibility and accessories refers to use in combination with other fastening elements or in systems requiring high mechanical load capacity and fire protection requirements. The cable ties are suitable for use in electrical and electronic installations, especially in environments where certification by RiNA, DNV or LR is required.

Installation and mounting is carried out by simply placing the cable tie around the cable bundle, tensioning and locking the ratchet mechanism. The fastening is tool-free and can be performed quickly. The maximum fastening force of 150 N ensures that the cable bundle does not come loose even under vibrations or mechanical stress. The temperature resistance from -40 °C to 85 °C enables use in a wide range of environments, from cold storage rooms to warm industrial operating rooms.

The operational advantages lie in high mechanical strength, chemical resistance and certification according to international standards. The self-extinguishing and halogen-free properties increase safety, especially in enclosed spaces or installations with increased fire risk. The universal usability for cable bundles with a diameter of 3 to 80 mm makes the cable tie a flexible tool in the electrical and installation industry.
