A cable tie is typically a long, thin strip of tape made of nylon (or stainless steel) which when tightened is able to hold things together such as cables, wires and other objects. It is very simple in concept but extremely effective and, like the paper clip, is likely to endure for a very long time.

Unlike some tools and objects for securing things which come in two pieces, the modern cable tie is one length of material which can be turned around itself to provide a very secure grip.

Available in various lengths and thicknesses, cable ties usually have a pointed end which – once the tie is wrapped wound the items to be tied together – inserts into a gate at the other end. When pulled through the gate by the desired amount, the gate teeth lock into the serrations on the tape allowing many tightening positions to be achieved. This means that one cable tie can be adjusted to a wide range of diameters determined by the length of the tape.

Typical lengths for cable ties include:

* 110mm x 2.5mm
* 185mm x 4.8mm
* 300mm x 4.8mm
* 370mm x 7.6mm

Other lengths and widths are available according to the manufacturer.

Cable ties can be used for a myriad of tying applications which include:

* Securing car hose pipes.
* Keeping wires secured unobtrusively to steelwork.
* A host of gardening applications.
