The Cimco spiral band 186202 is a tool for cable bundling and cable protection in cable assembly, the electrical industry, as well as in enclosure, control, and plant engineering. It is used for economical and neat bundling and routing of cables, lines, cable trees, and wire bundles. The band is made of polyethylene (PE), halogen-free, and temperature-resistant in the range of -20 °C to +65 °C. It allows for material-saving use through individual cutting to the required length, avoiding waste. The construction is re-openable and reusable, enabling flexible adaptation to different bundle diameters.

Cable bundling and protection function
The spiral band is used for bundling cables to route them in an organized and secure manner. It protects cables from abrasion and other mechanical damage. Additionally, it can be used to stiffen cable strands to ensure stable guidance. The open spiral structure allows for flexible cable bundle design, enabling branches to be made at any desired point without difficulty. This is particularly advantageous during installation in complex systems, where flexible yet secure cable routing is required.

Technology explained clearly
The spiral band is made of PE material, known for its chemical resistance and resistance to environmental influences. The helix width is 7.0 mm, and the outer diameter of the band is 6 mm. The roll has a length of 10 m and is designed for bundle diameters between 6 mm and 60 mm. The open structure of the spiral band reduces material consumption compared to tightly wound bands and provides higher flexibility for cable bundles. The band is natural in color, making it inconspicuous and neutral in technical environments.

Compatibility and accessories
The spiral band is suitable for use in various industries, particularly in the electrical industry, enclosure construction, and cable assembly. It can be combined with compatible accessories such as hook-and-loop straps to create additional fastening options. Available accessories include, for example, the hook-and-loop strap 181902 (25x300 mm, red/black with plastic eyelet) and the hook-and-loop strap 181900 (25x240 mm, red/black with plastic eyelet). These can be used additionally to further secure or mark cable bundles.

Installation and mounting
Installation is performed by wrapping the cable bundle with the spiral band. Due to the open spiral structure, the band can be easily adjusted and, if necessary, reopened. Individual length selection allows precise adaptation to the specific application. The band can be handled without tools, making installation quick and easy. It is typically used during the assembly phase of enclosures, controls, or plants, where organized and secure cable routing is required.

Advantages in operation
The spiral band offers an economical and environmentally friendly alternative to single-use bands, as it is reusable. The ability to cut the band to individual lengths reduces material waste and lowers consumption. The open structure enables flexible cable routing and facilitates maintenance, as individual cables can be branched off at any time. The temperature resistance from -20 °C to +65 °C makes it suitable for use in indoor and outdoor environments, as long as ambient temperatures remain within this range. The halogen-free composition is beneficial in enclosed spaces, as no toxic gases are released in case of fire.
