Cable Ties 5x200/300/350 Price in Kenya

Cable Ties 5x200mm, 5x300mm and 5x350mm are self-locking nylon fastening accessories used to bundle, organize and secure fibre optic cables, network cables, electrical wires and other lightweight installation materials.

The first measurement refers to the approximate width of the cable tie, while the second measurement refers to its length.

Therefore:

• 5x200mm – approximately 5mm wide × 200mm long

• 5x300mm – approximately 5mm wide × 300mm long

• 5x350mm – approximately 5mm wide × 350mm long

The longer the tie, the larger the bundle or object it can wrap around.

Current Kenyan listings show these sizes commonly supplied in packs of 100 pieces, particularly for 5x300mm and 5x350mm models. 

Cable Ties 5x200/300/350 Specifications

A current Kenyan 5x200mm product specifically describes the ties as manufactured from UV-stabilized Nylon 6-6, with a self-locking design and an operating range of about -40°F to 185°F for that specific model. 

What Are Cable Ties?

Cable ties, also called:

• Zip ties

• Tie wraps

• Nylon ties

• Wire ties

• Cable straps

are small fastening devices designed to bundle several cables or objects together.

They contain a flexible nylon strap with a toothed surface and a locking head.

Once the tail is inserted into the locking head, the teeth prevent the tie from pulling backward.

Typical process:

Wrap → Insert Tail → Pull Tight → Cut Excess

Cable Ties 5x200mm

The 5x200mm Cable Tie is the shortest of the three sizes.

It is useful where the cable bundle diameter is relatively small.

Common applications include:

• Fibre patch cords

• Ethernet cables

• Small electrical cables

• CCTV cables

• Router cables

• Patch-panel cable management

• Distribution box organization

• FTTH drop cable organization

A current Kenyan listing prices generic 5x200mm cable ties at KES 499, while another local supplier lists a 5x200mm model at KES 230 excluding VAT. 

5x200mm Cable Tie Specifications

One current 5x200mm listing specifies a maximum bundle diameter of about 80mm and a minimum tensile strength of approximately 18kg for that particular model.

Exact strength varies substantially between manufacturers.

Cable Ties 5x300mm

The 5x300mm Cable Tie provides significantly more length than the 200mm model and is one of the most versatile sizes for professional cable management.

Common uses include:

• Fibre optic cable bundles

• Network racks

• Electrical cable routing

• CCTV installations

• Telecom cabinets

• FTTH distribution points

• Server-room cable organization

• Outdoor equipment

Current Kenyan listings show 5x300mm cable ties in packs of 100, with black and white versions available. Prices currently include examples around KES 599 to KES 1,099 per 100 pieces, depending on model and supplier. 

5x300mm Cable Tie Specifications

One current Kenyan 5x300mm listing states a tensile strength of approximately 22kg, while another lists 26kg. These differences illustrate why the exact supplied model should be checked rather than treating one load figure as universal. 

Cable Ties 5x350mm

The 5x350mm Cable Tie provides the greatest length of these three sizes and is particularly useful for larger bundles and outdoor cable-management jobs.

Applications include:

• Large cable bundles

• ADSS accessory organization

• Fibre closure cable management

• Telecom racks

• CCTV installations

• Electrical wiring

• Utility installations

• Network cabinets

• Equipment mounting support

Current Kenyan 5x350mm listings include 100-piece packs at approximately KES 712 to KES 1,299, depending on supplier, colour and product specification. 

5x350mm Cable Tie Specifications

5x200 vs 5x300 vs 5x350 Cable Ties

*Outdoor use depends on the actual UV and weather rating of the tie.

Black Cable Ties

Black cable ties are commonly used for outdoor telecom and fibre installations.

Higher-quality outdoor black ties may use UV-stabilized Nylon 6.6 to improve resistance to sunlight exposure. One current Kenyan 5x200mm listing specifically identifies UV-stabilized Nylon 6-6 and high resistance to sun exposure. 

Black cable ties are commonly preferred for:

• Outdoor FTTH

• CCTV installations

• Rooftops

• Pole installations

• Wireless equipment

• External fibre cable management

White Cable Ties

White or natural-colour cable ties are commonly used indoors.

Applications include:

• Server rooms

• Offices

• Patch panels

• Network cabinets

• Electrical cabinets

• Fibre distribution boxes

• Indoor CCTV installations

White ties can also be used outdoors if their manufacturer specifically rates them for UV exposure, but ordinary natural nylon ties generally should not automatically be assumed to have the same outdoor life as UV-stabilized black models.

Nylon 6.6 Cable Ties

Many professional cable ties are manufactured from Nylon 6.6.

Benefits include:

• Good tensile strength

• Flexibility

• Lightweight construction

• Electrical insulation

• Fast installation

• Resistance to many oils and chemicals

• Low cost

• Good cable-management performance

The exact formulation, flame rating, temperature rating and UV stability vary between manufacturers.

Self-Locking Cable Ties

These cable ties use an integrated locking head.

The installation process is very simple:

1. Wrap the tie around the cable bundle.

2. Insert the pointed end through the locking head.

3. Pull until the bundle is secure.

4. Cut off excess material.

No buckle or specialized fastening tool is required for normal installation.

Cable ties are among the simplest but most important consumables used in fibre optic and networking installations. They help technicians keep cables organized, separate different cable groups and maintain a cleaner installation inside cabinets, trays and distribution boxes.

Choosing the appropriate length is important. A 5x200mm tie is suitable for relatively small bundles, while the 5x300mm version provides more flexibility for medium bundles. The 5x350mm size is useful where more wrapping length is required around cable groups or equipment.

For outdoor installations, technicians should pay particular attention to the tie's material specification. UV-stabilized black Nylon 6.6 is generally preferable where cable ties will remain exposed to sunlight for long periods.

Cable Ties for Fibre Optic Installations

Cable ties are commonly used in fibre networks for:

• Patch cord organization

• Fibre distribution boxes

• ODF cable management

• FAT boxes

• Fibre closures

• Fibre trays

• Telecom cabinets

• Cable routing

However, fibre should not be excessively tightened.

Too much compression can create:

• Microbending

• Increased attenuation

• Fibre damage

• Reduced network performance

Cable ties around optical fibre should therefore be installed only tightly enough to maintain organization.

Cable Ties for ADSS Installations

Cable ties may be useful for lightweight cable-management tasks in an ADSS installation.

They can help organize:

• Loose service cables

• Small auxiliary cables

• Closure leads

• Identification tags

• Patch leads

However, cable ties should not replace engineered ADSS tension clamps, J-Hooks, suspension clamps or stainless-steel pole banding.

They are cable-management accessories, not structural cable-support hardware.

Cable Ties for FTTH

FTTH technicians commonly use ties around:

• FAT boxes

• ATBs

• ODPs

• Splitter boxes

• Fibre cabinets

• Drop cables

• Patch cords

• Router installations

The 200mm size is useful inside compact enclosures, while 300mm and 350mm ties are more suitable for larger bundles and cabinets.

Cable Ties for Fibre Closures

Inside a fibre splice closure, cable ties may help organize:

• Incoming cables

• Buffer tubes

• Protective tubing

• Cable-strength members

• Internal routing components

Only use tie positions permitted by the closure manufacturer.

Cable Ties for ODFs

Optical Distribution Frames require careful fibre organization.

Cable ties can help control:

• Patch cords

• Pigtails

• Incoming fibre cables

• Cable bundles

However, hook-and-loop straps may sometimes be preferable around sensitive patch cords because they provide gentler pressure.

Cable Ties for Networking

Cable ties are widely used to organize:

• Cat5e cables

• Cat6 cables

• Cat6A cables

• Patch cords

• Router power cables

• Switch cables

• CCTV cables

They help improve rack appearance and simplify troubleshooting.

Cable Ties for CCTV

CCTV installers use cable ties for:

• Camera cables

• Cat6 cables

• Power cables

• Coaxial cables

• Junction-box wiring

• Pole cable management

Black UV-resistant ties are generally preferable for outdoor cameras.

Cable Ties for Electrical Wiring

Cable ties are commonly used to secure:

• Electrical conductors

• Control cables

• Low-voltage cables

• Equipment wiring

For electrical applications, ensure the exact tie's voltage, temperature, flame and environmental ratings satisfy the installation requirements.

5x200mm vs 5x300mm Cable Ties

5x300mm vs 5x350mm Cable Ties

*Use an outdoor-rated product.

Cable Ties vs Velcro Straps

For delicate fibre patch cords, hook-and-loop straps may be preferable because they reduce compression.

Cable Ties vs Stainless Steel Strap

A nylon cable tie should never be treated as a substitute for structural stainless-steel pole banding.
