The cable tie 2056 B 40 FT from OBO Bettermann is a fastening element for the secure anchoring of cable bundles, lines or other flexible components to beams, walls or structures. The product consists of a tie and a screw made of steel, both hot-dip galvanized to prevent corrosion. The countersunk screw is made of stainless steel, ensuring high resistance to moisture and atmospheric influences. The nut, also made of steel, is galvanized to provide additional protection against oxidation. This combination of materials and coatings ensures a long-lasting and reliable fastening in various operating environments.

Cable tie is the term for the fastening element that holds cable bundles or lines together and secures them to a fixed substrate. The tie itself has dimensions of 40 mm x 100 mm, where 40 mm is the width of the tie and 100 mm is the length of the mounting flange. These dimensions allow for secure fixation of cable bundles with a diameter up to 40 mm, with the flange being sufficiently long to ensure stable anchoring to beams or walls.

Hot-dip galvanized describes the coating of the tie and screw, where the steel material is immersed in molten zinc to create a dense, protective zinc layer. This layer provides high corrosion protection and is particularly suitable for use in industrial or outdoor environments. The galvanized coating of the nut is applied by electrolytic deposition of zinc onto the steel surface, also forming a protective layer against rust, although thinner than with hot-dip galvanizing.

The countersunk screw made of stainless steel is designed for clean and flush mounting on surfaces, as it sinks into the surface without leaving any protrusion. The use of stainless steel ensures that the screw remains functional over the long term even under moist or corrosive conditions. The nut allows for easy installation and adjustment of tension, as it can slide along the screw without requiring movement of the screw itself.

The cable tie 2056 B 40 FT is intended for use in electrical and IT installations, particularly in areas where robust and durable fastening of cables and lines is required. It is suitable for use in industrial plants, buildings, and outdoor areas, where the corrosion resistance of the coatings and materials plays a role. The combination of galvanized steel and stainless steel provides a balanced mix of durability, longevity, and ease of installation.

Installation is carried out by inserting the countersunk screw into the pre-drilled hole in the substrate, with the nut placed onto the screw. The tie is then placed over the cable bundle and fastened to the flange, with the screw drawn through the flange. The nut allows adjustment of the tie's tension to ensure secure and even tightening.

In operation, the cable tie provides stable and durable fastening that remains reliable even under mechanical stress or temperature fluctuations. The materials and coatings ensure a long service life, extending maintenance and replacement intervals. The use of stainless steel for the countersunk screw reduces the risk of corrosion at critical fastening points, which is particularly advantageous in moist or industrial environments.

Compatibility is ensured for all applications requiring fastening of cable bundles with a diameter up to 40 mm. The tie can be mounted on various substrates such as concrete, steel or wood, provided the hole for the countersunk screw is available. Use in combination with other fastening elements or accessories is possible, provided mechanical requirements and material compatibility are ensured.

The cable tie 2056 B 40 FT is a standardized product frequently used in electrical and IT installations. The materials and coatings meet common requirements for corrosion protection and mechanical strength. The dimensions and design are configured to enable secure and easy installation without requiring additional tools or special skills. Use typically occurs in installations where proper and durable fastening of cables and lines is necessary.
