This Ultimate Cable Tie Selection Guide explains how to choose cable ties based on material composition, tensile strength, environmental conditions, sizing requirements, specialty compliance needs, and installation considerations. Distribution Ties provide an improved method of securing conductor compared to clamp-top insulators or hand ties over Armor Rods. Distribution Ties provide superior abra-sion protection for the conductor under all types of motion, including low frequency sway oscillation, high frequency aeolian. Panduit offers a broad selection of industry approved styles, sizes, and materials to meet a full range of electrical, industrial, and networking applications. For more information on the products listed in this guide scan here. Color code - There are two color codes on Distribution Ties. The inside color code identifies the proper conductor size and the outside color code identifies the insulator neck size as. Cable ties subjected to additional tests may be suitable for providing primary support of cable, flexible conduit or flexible tubing in accordance with the relevant national installation code (see "Support"). Cable ties may be designed with a releasable locking mechanism investigated for a single. iable wiring of equipment and installations. The range covers the requirements of end users in terms of; opening load, insertion force, environ ental resistance and temperature resistance.
