Description
KSS Natural Cable Ties
Basically, KSS natural cable ties provide a simple and reliable way to bundle cables, wires, hoses and other components.
Specifically, KSS manufactures the standard CV range from Nylon 66 with a UL94V-2 flame rating. In addition, the one-piece locking design makes installation quick because no separate fastener is required.
Particularly, Engineering Supplies stocks sizes from compact 100 × 2.5mm ties through to the heavy-duty 1168 × 9mm CV1168NAT. Therefore, the range covers small control wiring as well as much larger cable bundles.
KSS Nylon Cable Tie Features
The natural CV range includes:
- Nylon 66 construction
- UL94V-2 flame-rated material
- Natural colour
- One-piece self-locking design
- Operating temperature up to 85°C
- Halogen-free material
- RoHS compliant
- Lengths from 100mm to 1168mm
- Widths from 2.5mm to 9mm
- Minimum loop tensile strengths from 8kg to 80kg
- Packs of 100 and selected 1000-piece packs
- Multiple bundle diameters and strength ratings
Because the range includes several widths and strengths, users can select a tie for the actual load rather than choosing by length alone. Furthermore, the larger sizes provide significantly higher holding strength for demanding applications.
Available Natural Cable Tie Sizes
Engineering Supplies stocks the following KSS sizes:
| P/N | Length | Width | Max Bundle Dia. | Min. Loop Tensile | Pack |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| CV100NAT | 100mm | 2.5mm | 22mm | 8kg | 100 |
| CV100KNAT | 100mm | 2.5mm | 22mm | 8kg | 1000 |
| CV140KNAT | 142mm | 3.2mm | 34mm | 18kg | 1000 |
| CV150NAT | 150mm | 3.6mm | 36mm | 18kg | 100 |
| CV200MNAT | 203mm | 2.5mm | 55mm | 8kg | 100 |
| CV200NAT | 203mm | 4.6mm | 52mm | 22kg | 100 |
| CV200KNAT | 203mm | 4.6mm | 52mm | 22kg | 1000 |
| CV250NAT | 250mm | 4.8mm | 68mm | 22kg | 100 |
| CV300SNAT | 300mm | 4.8mm | 83mm | 22kg | 100 |
| CV300SKNAT | 300mm | 4.8mm | 83mm | 22kg | 1000 |
| CV300NAT | 300mm | 7.6mm | 80mm | 55kg | 100 |
| CV368NAT | 368mm | 4.8mm | 105mm | 22kg | 100 |
| CV368KNAT | 368mm | 4.8mm | 105mm | 22kg | 1000 |
| CV380NAT | 380mm | 7.6mm | 105mm | 55kg | 100 |
| CV550NAT | 550mm | 8.0mm | 160mm | 55kg | 100 |
| CV1168NAT | 1168mm | 9.0mm | 356mm | 80kg | 100 |
As a result, customers can choose a small tie for control wiring or a larger version for heavy cable bundles. Pack quantities also vary, so selected common sizes are available in economical 1000-piece packs.
Choosing the Correct KSS Cable Tie
Firstly, choose the tie according to both bundle diameter and required tensile strength.
For example, the 2.5mm wide variants provide an 8kg minimum loop tensile strength. Meanwhile, common 4.6mm and 4.8mm versions increase the rating to 22kg.
Moreover, for heavier loads, the 7.6mm and 8mm ties provide a 55kg minimum loop tensile strength. Finally, the CV1168NAT offers an 80kg rating and accommodates bundles up to 356mm diameter.
Therefore, a longer tie is not automatically a stronger tie. Instead, check the width and tensile rating as well as the required bundle size.
Electrical & Industrial Applications
Natural nylon cable ties suit many applications, including:
- Switchboards and control panels
- Electrical wiring
- Cable harnesses
- Machinery and equipment
- OEM manufacturing
- Telecommunications
- Cable tray installations
- Workshop organisation
- Equipment assembly
- General cable bundling
For instance, smaller sizes suit control and instrumentation wiring. In comparison, wider high-strength versions work better for larger cable groups and equipment assemblies.
The one-piece locking system also speeds up installation. Consequently, these ties suit both production environments and general electrical maintenance.
Natural vs Weatherproof Black Cable Ties
Generally, natural Nylon 66 ties work well for general indoor and protected installations. However, applications exposed to prolonged sunlight should use a product designed specifically for UV resistance.
Instead, for outdoor installations, see our KSS Weather Proof Cable Ties – Black.
Evidently, KSS develops its black weather-resistant range for improved UV performance. Therefore, we recommend the black version where regular outdoor sunlight exposure forms part of the application.
Coloured & Specialist Cable Ties
Additionally, where colour coding helps identify circuits or cable groups, see our KSS Colour Cable Ties.
Alternatively, browse our complete Cable Ties range for nylon, weather-resistant, releasable, marker and stainless steel options.
In addition, KSS Self Adhesive Tie Mounts provide a convenient method of attaching cable bundles to panels, cabinets and equipment.
