The ABSA 3/840 B (200m) white from Ses-Sterling is a waxed tie string made of polyamide 6, specifically developed for securing cable bundles in telecommunications. The string is supplied on a spool with a length of 200 metres and features a flat profile during tying, which prevents mechanical damage to conductors within the cable bundle. The string is white, making it suitable for applications in clean or visible installations. The use of polyamide 6 ensures high strength and resistance to environmental influences, while the wax coating improves glide performance and facilitates tying.

Tie string made of polyamide 6 is used here as a fastening material for cable bundles. The string has a cross-sectional dimension of 1.2 mm × 0.4 mm, providing sufficient strength for typical installations in electrical and IT technology. The flat shape of the string ensures it conforms closely to the cables without causing pressure points or cracks in the insulation. This is particularly important for sensitive cables, such as those used in telecommunications or data transmission systems.

Functions and equipment in detail include the waxed surface, which facilitates tying and reduces friction. The string is halogen-free, meaning no toxic hydrogen halides are released in case of fire, thus ensuring higher safety in enclosed spaces or buildings with high safety requirements. Additionally, the product is RoHS-compliant, confirming compliance with the EU directive restricting certain hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment.

Technology explained simply shows that the tie string is made from a thermoplastic polymer (polyamide 6), which, due to its high tensile strength and resistance to moisture and temperature fluctuations, is suitable for use in installation technology. The wax coating serves not only as a lubricant but also protects the string’s surface from dirt and wear. The flat shape of the string enables even distribution of tensile force along the entire length of the cable bundle, minimizing the risk of local overloading.

Compatibility and accessories refers to the use of the string in combination with other fastening materials or cable management systems. The string is universally applicable and can be used in various installation scenarios, such as in distribution boxes, on trays, or in enclosures. It is particularly suitable for applications requiring clean, flat fastening without mechanical stress on the cables. Its use in telecommunications is historically rooted, but the string is also used in modern IT and electrical installations.

Installation and mounting is performed by simply wrapping the string around the cable bundle and then tightening it. The flat shape allows precise adaptation to the cable geometry, achieving a secure and neat fastening. The string can be cut with a cutting tool or scissors, with the wax coating enabling a clean cut edge. Mounting requires no additional tools or aids, as the string’s shape and surface characteristics provide sufficient adhesion and strength on their own.

“Operational advantages” lie in the easy handling, high strength, and long service life of the string. The halogen-free and RoHS-compliant composition ensures safe use in sensitive environments. The white colour provides good visibility and is suitable for applications requiring a clean and professional installation. Packaging on a spool with 200 metres of length offers efficient storage and use, with the weight specification of 98 g per spool indicating a compact and easy-to-handle package.

Tie string made of polyamide 6, waxed, halogen-free, RoHS-compliant, white, 200m spool – these features define the product and its applications in installation technology. The string is designed for applications requiring secure, clean, and durable fastening of cable bundles without compromising cable integrity.
