Cable ties are flexible fasteners made of nylon or other materials that are used to bundle, organize, and secure cables, wires, hoses, and other items. They are designed with a ratcheting mechanism that allows them to be easily adjusted and locked in place to create a tight, secure hold. Cable ties are commonly used in electrical, electronic, and automotive applications, as well as in industrial and household settings. They are available in various lengths, widths, colors, and tensile strengths to meet different requirements.
