Cable Ties

Cable ties, pig tails, mouse tails

Cable ties (also known as "pigtails" or "mousetails") are means of organizing cables. A group of cables, wires or pipes are pulled through them, forming a compact and orderly bundle. Pigtails are usually made of polypropylene or metal, depending on their purpose, as well as different colors, locking method (single and multiple), different colors.

Types of Cable Ties / Pigtails

Cable ties (pig tails) are fully adapted to outdoor industrial and domestic environments. Originally conceived as simple solutions to hold cables and wires in place, cable ties have evolved into complex and versatile tools that play a critical role in a wide range of industrial and industrial applications.

The first cable ties were invented by a company specializing in electrical components in 1958. They were originally designed for use in the aerospace industry as a means of securing aircraft wiring harnesses. The original design was a simple plastic strip with tabs that could be wrapped and clamped to hold the wires in place. This innovation changed the aerospace industry as it greatly simplified the process of securing and organizing wiring in aircraft. Over time, the design of cable ties has evolved to include various features such as UV, high tensile strength depending on their application, free and reusable, various materials that are safe for the environment.

In the late 1950s, the idea of a clasp that could be easily attached and removed was born. This innovation revolutionized the way cabling was made secure in a wide range of applications, and its design set the stage for the cable connections that are widely used today.

Despite its many positive impacts, wired connections also have negative aspects that must be considered. One of the main problems associated with cable connections is related to the environment. The widespread use of plastic cable ties has led to concerns about plastic pollution and its impact on the environment. Since cable ties are often single-use items, they are sought after for plastic waste accumulation. Efforts are therefore being made to develop biodegradable and reusable alternatives.
