The Ses-Sterling cable tie 300/46 SL-C red is a coloured universal cable tie used for securing and identifying cables, lines, hoses and similar components in electrical and IT installations. It belongs to the SES-QUICK SL-COLOR product series and is available in a total of ten different colours, with the red variant specified here. The colour coding serves not only visual differentiation but also enables structured and quick identification of cable bundles in complex systems, simplifying maintenance and fault diagnosis.
Applications
The cable tie is suitable for use in industrial electrical installations, IT environments, as well as in building and machine construction technology. It can be used both indoors and outdoors, provided environmental conditions meet the requirements for material resistance. Typical applications include securing network cables, power lines, data cables, or organising hose lines in machines and systems. The red colour is particularly suitable for marking lines requiring special attention, such as safety or alarm lines.
Functions and features in detail
The Ses-Sterling cable tie 300/46 SL-C red is made from halogen-free plastic, reducing smoke development in case of fire and increasing safety. It complies with the RoHS directive, which prohibits the use of certain hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment. Flame retardancy is certified according to UL94 V2, meaning the material does not drip flaming particles when exposed to flame and self-extinguishes within 30 seconds after flame removal. This property is especially important in environments with increased fire risk or in enclosed spaces where smoke and flame can quickly become hazardous.
Technology explained simply
The designation 300/46 SL-C describes the technical dimensions: 300 mm is the total length of the cable tie, and 46 mm is the inner width of the loop (fastening opening). The SL-C designation refers to the special quick-release technology enabling simple and secure locking. The locking mechanism uses an integrated toothed rack that engages when the end is pulled through the loop. The weight of a single cable tie is 2 g, indicating a lightweight yet robust construction.
Compatibility and accessories
The cable tie is universally applicable and compatible with most common cable types and cross-sections within the maximum fastening opening of 46 mm. It can be combined with other cable ties from the SES-QUICK SL-COLOR series to create a uniform identification system. No tools are required for installation; the cable tie is manually tensioned and locked.
Installation and mounting
Mounting is performed by simply looping the cable tie around the object to be secured, pulling the end through the loop, and locking it. The quick-release technology allows secure fastening without tools. The packaging contains 100 pieces, sufficient for larger installations. The packaging weight is 0.2 kg, indicating a compact and lightweight package.
Operational advantages
The combination of halogen-free material, UL94 V2 flame retardancy, and colour marking provides high safety and transparency in use. The red colour enables quick visual identification, accelerating maintenance and inspection. The simple tool-free handling reduces installation time and minimises errors. Its use across various industries, from electrical installations to IT infrastructure, demonstrates the product’s universal applicability. Compliance with the RoHS directive ensures environmental compatibility and conformity with European regulations.
