Before we talked about the little knowledge of nylon cable tie, I believe everyone has read it, if you haven't read it, you can click to read it. Today we are going to talk about the comparison of the advantages and disadvantages of nylon cable ties and plastic cable ties, hope it will be helpful to everyone.
Zhonggu contains other products and information you need, so please check it out.
Before the birth of nylon cable ties, we used ropes to bind things when we tied things up. With the progress of the times, technology has brought us a lot of convenience. Now nylon cable ties have become a substitute for ropes. It solves the tedious operation of using ropes to tie objects. The advantages of nylon cable ties are simple operation, good insulation, self-locking, corrosion resistance, and durability. Initially, we need tens of seconds or minutes to tie the rope. Now, the cable tie supplier only needs to insert and pull it out within a few seconds, we don’t have to worry about its loosening, which effectively improves work efficiency and saves time.
The raw material of nylon cable tie is also a kind of plastic, so the relationship between nylon cable tie and plastic strap is like the relationship between mother and child. Nylon straps are a sub-product of plastic straps. Generally speaking, plastics are divided into two categories: thermoplastics and cold plastics. Both types of plastics have their unique performance advantages and disadvantages. So what kind of plastic is the nylon watchband made of? Nylon belongs to the category of thermoplastics. Nylon is divided into many branches. Currently, PA6, pa66, PA12, PA1010, etc. are commonly used in the market. What kind of nylon cable tie products are widely used in the market now? Nowadays, the most widely used and most popular product on the market is a ribbon product made of nylon 66 as the matrix material, but cable tie suppliers will mix some other raw materials on the basis of nylon 66 to make some conceptual products . The brands of various products are changing, and their properties and uses are also different.
Chinese cable ties are widely used due to their performance advantages. It is not only lightweight, but also strong and durable. At the same time, it has flame retardancy and oxidation resistance, and has a relatively long service life. At the same time, there are excellent insulation tape products, which can meet different consumer needs. Nylon is safer and more environmentally friendly. In recent years, it has begun to focus on research, trying to develop the healthiest nylon cable tie and expand the use of products. Let more consumers truly seek benefits.

There are various industry terms for organizing wire: structured wiring, structured cable systems, wire and cable management systems etc… They all have the same basic meaning though. The goal is to organize the wire and cable in your office, factory, building, machinery, equipment, data center, security system in a neat and organized way to avoid the tangled mess of cords running loosely so that the wires themselves can be easily traced back. In other words, it is about creating a plan to keep the wires together in a safe, organized and functional format that keeps them tidy and easy to manage. Bundling wires and cables does just that.
When electricians bundle cables and wire conductors together, they have several options, which are contingent on the wire and cable type, the electrical code regulations and restrictions, and the manner of installation.
Neat and organized wiring is one of the ways you can tell that an electrician or IT installer takes pride in their work, and if an electric panel is wired by a professional electrician, or if those communications cables are run by an IT professional all the cable and wires are held neatly together. From breakers in an electrical panel where on the right or left side of the panel they exit the box on the same side.
This requires planning and careful execution, and the completed work sometimes resembles a wiring diagram, with each wire turning at a just the right angles next to the connection before it heads up or down and out to the next connection point. In cases like this one might automatically think zip ties or velcro strips would be the solution for these generally short runs, but often it is not.
The most common choices to bundle wire and cable are:
So what’s the best type of binding for cable bundles?

It depends.
One-Pull’s wire bundles are all bound with a waxed nylon string into a harness. While there are specific advantages for using waxed nylon binder thread for long runs, there are advantages and disadvantages to each of these cable management solutions.
If the cables are being run over a distance through cable tray, along a floorboard, or over head by j hooks, zip ties may be the right solution if applied correctly. Even Velcro strips may work in this situation if applied close enough together. However, for an electrical panel or in a conduit, zip ties or Velcro strips can be dangerous.
The nylon harness is a good way to keep wire and cable bundled together neatly, efficiently, and effectively. Since the surface area of the binder is minimal it is less likely to snag than a material that wraps around the whole circumference of the bundles. The binder is less likely to damage the wire or cables. Itf applied correctly, the nylon binder can be used with high voltage or low voltage wire and cable, prevents the cables from separating or sagging, and allows just enough space for the wire to dissipate some of the heat generated. It is for all the reasons that the nylon harness is the superior method of bundling, but it too has its drawbacks.
If you are organizing a desk or single workstation, it does not make sense. If you are organizing a short run of cable, say 5 ft, it does not make sense. If you need to continuously add or subtract wires and cables from the configuration, it does not make sense. However, if you are installing over a large distance, and you want to keep the cables together, and the installation is going to be permanent or semi-permanent that the nylon harness is the best choice. For a quick recap, see the list of the pros and cons below:
Zip ties are ideal for small and long runs of low voltage cable such as data or communication cable, as well as home use and small budgets since they are cheap to purchase. However, they have inefficiencies and even cause dangerous conditions, when it comes to large jobs using high voltage wire. This is especially true for pulling long high voltage wire runs through tray and conduit installations. If the zip ties get stuck in a conduit, you’ll end up paying more in terms of labor costs than had you used a more expensive material, but one that would have still saved time on getting the job done. In addition, applying zip ties to the wrong situation can open you up to a whole lot of avoidable liability.
Velcro has good applications Data centers and IT solutions but has limited applications for industrial and commercial construction, particularly since it is thick (increased chance of it snagging) and it is not suitable for high voltage wire.
Electricians love the ease and cost of using electrical tape. In fact we use them as pull tabs on our nylon harness wire bundles. It is a popular, cost-effective way to bind wires together. But for long runs, it can consume a lot of the electrician’s time, even though the material is comparatively inexpensive, the electrician ends up wasting time which translates into less time to do other work, which, ultimately, means less money.
For long runs or lots of repetitive short run, multi-conductor cable bundles, they nylon harness bundle is king.
We’re obviously a little bias since we specialize in manufacturing bundled cable encased in a nylon harness. Nonetheless all of these bindings have pros and cons which an electrician must weigh when they are on the job site.
