Cable Ties
ABB offers one of the industry’s broadest range of innovative solutions for bundling, securing and routing wire and cable, including the trusted original Ty-Rap® brand, Ty-Met™, Col-Ty™ and Deltec fastening products and tools. All designed to perform in the most demanding conditions and to make the task of fastening, bundling and managing wires easier for electrical installers, panel builders, OEM professionals as well as home improvement and do-it-yourself specialists.
In 1958, Thomas & Betts (today a Member of the ABB Group) invented the original Ty-Rap® cable tie to solve the problem of harnessing the hundreds of wires used in manufacturing aircraft. When strength, reliability and performance are required, knowledgeable professionals turn to the original and the best source for cable ties and accessories.
Ty-Rap®
Nearly 30 billion cable ties installed and counting: Innovative design and engineered materials make Ty-Rap® cable ties for more than 65 years the perfect fastening solution where performance really matters. Often imitated but never equaled, Ty-Rap cable ties provide superior performance in any application. Whether the application requires resistance against extreme temperatures, flames, continuous sunlight and UV radiation, aggressive chemicals or requires heavy tensile strength, ABB has a cable tie solution. ABB also provides cable ties & tools, that facilitate and speed up your time critical assembly or installation process.
Main benefits
- The Grip of Steel®: Ty-Rap’s non-hydroscopic stainless steel locking device ensures maximum strength and extended useful life
- Fewer stress points: Ty-Rap’s smooth, notchless body reduces the number of stress points to increase its useful life, while ribs and stipples grip the bundle and prevent slipping specifically in vibrating applications.
- Snag free installation: The low-profile head and its oval shape make it easier to pull bundled cables through bulkheads
- Performance in extreme & harsh environments: available in multiple materials to operate in corrosive, chemicals, hot and cold and other demanding environments.
Ty-Met™
Ty-Met™ stainless steel cable ties are the ultimate solution to install your cables in extreme conditions and hazardous areas, indoor and outdoor, such as the petrochemical and food processing industries, power stations, mining, shipbuilding, offshore and other aggressive environments.
Main benefits:
- Provide high mechanical strength combined with chemical durability and temperature resistance.
- International approvals such as UL, Lloyd’s Register and DNV-GL.
- All types are available in 316 grade (marine grade) stainless steel, perfect for securing cables and components in highly corrosive environments like marine (onshore and offshore) and chemical industries
- Are available in uncoated version for high temperature applications or in fully coated version with non-toxic, halogen free coating, for a superior protection of cables and installer’s hands and for an improved insulation between dissimilar materials
- Can be installed with dedicated hand tools to cut and fasten
Ty-Fast®
Ty-Fast® all plastic ties: Easily bundle, secure and manage your cables
The all-plastic cable ties are available in lengths from 100mm to 1220mm and widths from 2,5mm to 12,4mm, offering a loop tensile strength up to 1200 N. These cable ties will satisfy bundling requirements up to 375,5mm.
Made of halogen and silicone free Polyamide 6.6, these cable ties are available in natural and
black UV-resistant. Ty-Fast® cable ties meet shipbuilding classification such as DNV-GL, Lloyd’s Register of Shipping, Bureau Veritas.
Ty-Fast® cable ties have a CE declaration, supported by compliance to the low voltage directive and EN/IEC 62275. On top the Ty-Fast® range is also compliant to UL 62275.
State-of-the-art robotic and raw material handling equipment assures product and material integrity throughout the manufacturing process.
Twist Tail™
How does it work? Wrap the Twist Tail™ cable tie around the bundle of cables, bend the excess tail in two directions and twist! The tail breaks right off, leaving no sharp edges to scratch your hands or your cables. It’s as simple as that.

- Quick and easy to install, no tools required
- Strong, made of Polyamide 6.6, with 133N minimum tensile strength
- Safe, tail breaks off neat and clean, with no sharp edges
- General purpose applications, indoor and outdoor
- UL recognised
- Available in 3 different lengths and 2 colours (white and UV-resistant black).
Deltec®
Deltec® cable support system is safe and easy to install with a guaranteed weatherable life, even at temperatures as low as -65°C (85°F). A three-piece, three-material engineered design provides the ideal solution for bundling in harsh outdoor environments. The Deltec® system combines the strength and rigidity of an injection-molded head with marine-grade copper barbs and a soft and pliable, stress-resistant, extruded body. The unique multi-piece design with separate head and strapping also allows installers to select and customize the strap length for any application.
The system provides ultimate in cable support and management for demanding applications and markets including:
- Cable strapping and bundling on utility poles
- Next to conveyors to funnel cables to motors, equipment and lights
- For wire and harness bundling on large equipment
- To hold solar panels in place or run cables behind the panels
- To lash and bundle cables in wind turbines
- For cable management and support on docks, piers and pilings
- For bundling and lashing hoses and wiring on irrigation systems and farm equipment
- Pipeline cabling support system
- Outdoor bundling of cable and fiber optics in cable tray
