The 160PA natural cable tie from Ses-Sterling is a fastening element made of polyamide 6, specifically designed for the secure and durable fixation of cables, conduits, or other flexible components. The product is offered in the natural colour and is part of the PLIO-GRAINS product series. It is particularly suitable for applications in indoor environments where a robust, chemically resistant, and temperature-resistant fastening solution is required. The cable tie has a length of 160 mm and allows for a fastening width of 6 to 50 mm, making it flexible for various diameters.
Applications
The 160PA natural cable tie is used in the field of electrical and IT installations where reliable cable routing and fastening are required. It is suitable for use in enclosures, distribution boxes, machine construction, and other technical systems where cable bundles need to be organised and securely held. Due to its composition of polyamide 6, it is resistant to many chemical influences and offers good mechanical strength. The natural colour ensures discreet integration into technical environments.
Functions and Features in Detail
The cable tie features a ball-head locking mechanism that enables simple and secure fastening. The locking is achieved by pulling the free end through the ball, creating a firm holding force. The polyamide 6 material offers high strength and elasticity, making the tie suitable for repeated fastening operations. The natural colour is a neutral tone that blends well in technical installations. The tie is not designed for outdoor use, as the black variant is specifically recommended for outdoor applications.
Technical Explanation
The cable tie is made of polyamide 6, a thermoplastic polymer known for its high strength, heat resistance, and chemical resistance. The temperature resistance ranges from -20 °C to +85 °C, making the tie suitable for a wide range of indoor applications. The flame retardancy rating V2 according to UL94 means that the material burns only limitedly under direct flame exposure and self-extinguishes once the flame is removed. This is an important safety feature in electrical and electronic systems. The weight of a single unit is 0.8 g, facilitating handling and installation.
Compatibility and Accessories
The 160PA natural cable tie is compatible with standard cable tie installations and can be used in any application requiring a fastening width of 6 to 50 mm. It is part of the PLIO-GRAINS series, which is also available in black, with the black variant specifically recommended for outdoor use. There are no specific accessories required for using this cable tie. Installation is done without additional tools, as the locking mechanism is secured by hand force.
Installation and Mounting
The cable tie is mounted by wrapping it around the object to be fastened, then pulling the free end through the ball opening. The locking is achieved by inserting the end into the ball, creating a secure connection. The tie can be reused multiple times, as it is not damaged when released. Installation requires no special tools and can be quickly and safely performed by professionals in the electrical and IT sectors.
Operational Advantages
The 160PA natural cable tie provides a reliable and durable fastening solution for cables and conduits. The polyamide 6 material quality ensures high mechanical strength and chemical resistance. The temperature resistance from -20 to +85 °C makes it suitable for a wide range of indoor applications. The V2 flame retardancy rating according to UL94 enhances safety in electrical systems.
