The cable tie UB385C-N-PA66-NA-C1 from HellermannTyton is a plastic fastening element designed specifically for bundling and securing cables, wires, and hoses in installations. It features an internal toothed mechanism that ensures a secure locking, and is entirely made of PA66 (polyamide 66), a robust thermoplastic polymer offering high mechanical strength and resistance to environmental influences. Installation can be done either manually or with a special processing tool, providing flexibility for various application scenarios. The natural color allows for discreet integration into technical systems and installations.
Applications
This cable tie is intended for use in indoor installations where reliable and long-lasting fastening of cables and wires is required. It is particularly suitable for applications in electrical and IT infrastructure, building technology, and industrial environments where simple yet stable cable bundle fixation is needed. The PA66 material composition ensures good resistance to moisture, temperature fluctuations, and mechanical stress, making it suitable for a wide range of operating conditions.
Functions and Features in Detail
The cable tie features an internal toothed mechanism that ensures a secure and durable fixation when locked. The teeth are located inside the head, enabling a compact and robust construction. The PA66 material offers high strength and resistance to wear, extending the service life of the cable tie. Installation is achieved by simply swinging the tail into the head, where the internal teeth lock the tail in place. Mounting can be done either by hand or with a processing tool, facilitating installation in tight or hard-to-reach areas.
Technology Explained Simply
The internal toothed mechanism is a key feature ensuring the locking function of the cable tie. During installation, the tail of the cable tie is inserted into the head, where the internal teeth grip and hold the tail securely. This prevents unintended release, even under mechanical stress. PA66 is a high-quality polyamide known for its strength, heat resistance, and chemical resistance. It enables long-term use of the cable tie under normal operating conditions. The natural color is standard in industry and provides a discreet appearance in technical installations.
Compatibility and Accessories
The cable tie is compatible with various processing tools that facilitate installation. These include the MK20 BLAU processing tool (part number 110-20006), the EVO7iSP processing tool (110-77002), the EVO7i processing tool (110-77001), and the MK10-SB processing tool (110-10001). These tools enable fast and precise processing, especially in large installations or confined spaces.
Installation and Mounting
Installation is performed by simply wrapping the cable bundle with the cable tie and then swinging the tail into the head. The internal toothed mechanism secures the tail in place. For manual installation, the tail is pulled in by hand; when using a tool, the tail is pulled into the head and locked using the tool. The process is quick and requires no additional tools, except when using a processing tool. The fastening is permanent and withstands normal mechanical loads.
Operational Advantages
The cable tie provides a simple yet reliable fastening solution for cables and wires. The internal toothed mechanism ensures a secure lock that remains intact even under load. The PA66 material ensures long service life and resistance to environmental influences. The ability to install the cable tie both manually and with tools increases installation flexibility. The natural color blends discreetly into technical environments, enhancing the aesthetics of installations. Using processing tools speeds up the installation process and improves precision, especially in larger projects.
