General
Colour	Natural

The cable tie 480/130 SL-C natural from Ses-Sterling is a fastening element from the SES-QUICK SL product series, specifically developed for bundling and securing cables, wires, hoses, and similar components in technical installations. It features a robust construction and is suitable for use in electrical and IT installations as well as industrial applications. The natural colour allows for discreet integration into various environments, particularly in systems where a low-profile appearance is desired.

Applications
The cable tie is used in various areas of electrical and information technology where secure and permanent fastening of cables and wires is required. This includes, for example, installations in server rooms, network cable mounting, building automation, or industrial electrical installations. Fastening is achieved by inserting the cable tie into the locking mechanism, creating a secure hold. The length of 480 mm and width of 130 mm allow for securing larger cable bundles or flexible hoses.

Functions and Features in Detail
The cable tie 480/130 SL-C natural is halogen-free and complies with the RoHS directive, meaning it contains no harmful substances such as lead, cadmium, or mercury. This property is particularly important in enclosed spaces or installations where environmental and health compatibility of materials is critical. The flame retardancy V2 according to UL94 ensures limited flame spread when in contact with an open flame, increasing safety in electrical installations. The use of materials that do not release toxic gases during combustion is a key advantage in industrial and commercial applications.

Technology Explained Simply
The cable tie’s construction is based on a one-sided locking system, where the strap is pulled through a special toothed mechanism in the head lock. This results in a secure and permanent fastening that remains stable even under mechanical stress. The material composition is chosen to provide high strength while maintaining flexibility. The flame retardancy rating V2 according to UL94 means that the material, when subjected to a flame test according to UL94, burns no more than 2.5 cm and extinguishes within 30 seconds after the flame is removed. This is a standard value for many technical plastic components.

Compatibility and Accessories
The cable tie is universally applicable and can be combined with various cable types, hoses, and wires. It is not specifically designed for any particular cable type but adapts to different bundle sizes due to its length and width. Use in combination with other fastening elements, such as cable ducts or mounting profiles, is possible as long as mechanical requirements are met. There are no specific accessories directly associated with this item, as it is designed as a standard cable tie.

Installation and Mounting
Mounting is done by simply inserting the cable tie into the locking mechanism and pulling the strap to the desired tension. The locking mechanism prevents the strap from being pulled back, ensuring a permanent fastening. Installation requires no additional tools, as the cable tie can be operated by hand. The packaging contains 100 pieces, which is sufficient for larger installations.

Operational Advantages
The use of the cable tie 480/130 SL-C natural provides a reliable and simple fastening solution, distinguished by its environmental compatibility and safety. The halogen-free composition and RoHS compliance make it suitable for applications in sensitive areas such as hospitals, office buildings, or IT infrastructures. The flame retardancy V2 according to UL94 enhances safety in electrical installations, especially in enclosed spaces where rapid flame spread must be avoided. The robust construction ensures a long service life under normal operating conditions.
