Cable Tie (Plastic Ties) and Wire Management Guide from Elmatic: How to choose the length and width, when you need UV resistance, screws and adhesive pads for mounting, spiral wrap, insulating tubing, and conduit.
Cable ties (plastic ties) are small, but they make the difference between a tidy electrical panel and tangled wires that no one can trace. They are also used in agriculture, packaging, and securing hoses and signs. In this guide, we explain the Italian Elematic range.
1. Length and Width
- Length determines the thickness of the bundle you can wrap.
- Width determines the tensile strength: the wider it is, the more weight and tension it can withstand.
| Size | Suitable Use |
|---|---|
| 20–29 cm × 3.5 mm | Light wires, small panels, computer and TV cables |
| 25 cm × 4.8 mm and 36–43 cm × 4.5 mm | Medium wire bundles, irrigation hoses, distribution panels |
| 30 cm × 7.8 mm and 75 cm × 7.5 mm | Heavy-duty work, large bundles, mounting on poles and fences |
2. White, Black, or UV-Resistant Black?
The sun causes regular plastic to crack and break over time. For outdoor work (solar power, fencing, outdoor lighting, agriculture), choose UV-resistant. Standard white and black are excellent for indoor use.

Tips
- Do not tighten cable ties too tightly on data cables (internet), as pressure can affect them.
- Cut off excess length with a sharp cutter so no sharp edge remains to injure your hand.
- For outdoor work, always choose UV-resistant.
