<strong>What are cable ties and what are they used for?</strong><br/>
</p>
<p>
They’re fasteners that bundle your cables and wires together to keep them
organised and prevent damage. They come in different sizes, lengths, materials and
even colours. The different uses of <a href="https://www.gordon-elec.com/cable-
tie/">Cable Tie</a>s vary across industries, but what they all have in common is that
they’re the most effective way to manage your cables.
</p>
<p>
First, let’s get a picture of the type of cable ties available. The table below
is by no means exhaustive, as there are subsets of cable ties within this table. For
example, standard cable ties can be weather resistant, which gives them different
applications than their cousins’.<br/>
</p>
<p>
Standard cable ties are a fantastic all-rounder, but when you need specialised
cable ties, you can get those too.

<strong>Nylon</strong>
</p>
<p>
The most common material for cable ties, nylon is a tough material with good
thermal, and abrasion resistance. It also resists fuels and most chemicals. Nylon
6/6, the grade most often used for cable ties, meets UL 94 V-2 flammability ratings
and has a working temperature range from -40°C to 85°C.<br/>
</p>
<p>
<a href="https://www.gordon-elec.com/cable-tie/nylon-cable-ties/">Nylon Cable
Ties</a> can be heat stabilised for continuous or extended exposure to high
temperatures of up to 121°C. The cable tie manufacturing process can also produce UV
stabilised ties for outdoor use. For example, you can have the same cable tie, but
manufactured for different applications.

<strong>Stainless Steel</strong>

<a href="https://www.gordon-elec.com/cable-tie/stainless-steel-cable-
ties/">Stainless Steel Cable Ties</a> provide high tensile strength. They can also
stand extremely high temperatures, from –200°C to 538°C. There are two types of
stainless steel used in cable ties: 304 and 316. Type 304 is used for general
purposes, with both indoor and outdoor applications. When corrosion is a threat, it’
s Type 316 you need.

<strong>Cable Glands - What Are They?</strong>
</p>
<p>
A <a href="https://www.gordon-elec.com/cable-gland/">Cable Gland</a> (more often
known in the U.S. as a cord grip, cable strain relief, cable connector or cable
fitting) is a device designed to attach and secure the end of an electrical cable to
the equipment. Cable Glands address an essential requirement in cable management
planning and implementation. Their foremost purpose is to grip and seal electrical
cables where they pass through a dividing barrier, such as upon entry to a piece of
equipment or where they pass through a bulkhead or panel. This is achieved by
gripping either the outer sheath of the cable or the armour wire, or by a combination
of the two. Cable glands are available in countless designs and features but these
can be distilled down to four essential functions.
</p>
<p>
<strong>How Do Cable Glands Work</strong>
</p>
<div>
<a href="https://www.gordon-elec.com/cable-gland/nylon-cable-glands/">Nylon Cable
Glands</a> consist of multiple threaded parts which fit together to grip the cable
and secure the gland assembly and cable to a piece of equipment or panel. The number
of parts varies depending on the application and the required level of protection.
</div>
<p>
There are several variations on this theme but nearly all cable glands work along
this fundamental principal of a threaded entry assembly that connects to the
equipment and additional threaded nuts which secure the cable to the assembly. These
may provide additional seals on both the inner and outer sheath, allow for connection
to braided cables, special EMC connections or increased safety for hazardous areas.

<p>
<a href="https://www.gordon-elec.com/electrical-flexible-conduit-and-conduit-
fittings/">Electrical Flexible Conduit and Conduit Fittings</a> in external
appearance resembles its close relative, liquid-tight flexible nonmetallic conduit.
Both have smooth grey outer jackets that are liquid tight. Type Liquid Tight Flexible
Nonmetallic Conduit has an internal steel shield, which makes it more powerful and
much less at risk to kinking. Either of these raceways can be created in mild curves
to change instructions and also to stay clear of challenges. Additionally, the
versatility works for ending at motors where there is likely to be heavy vibration.
</p>
<p>
Liquid-tight flexible metal conduit is allowed to be used in exposed or hidden
locations where adaptability or protection from liquids, vapors or solids is
required. It is permitted in specified unsafe (classified) places and also it may be
used for direct interment where detailed and marked for the purpose.
