Steel Buckles 100 Pieces Price in Kenya

Steel Buckles 100 Pieces are fastening accessories used together with stainless-steel banding straps to secure fibre optic, telecom and utility hardware to concrete, wooden and steel poles.

The buckle acts as the locking point for the stainless-steel strap. After the band is wrapped around the pole and mounting hardware, a banding tool is used to apply tension before the strap is locked through the buckle.

A common telecom configuration uses 19mm or 20mm stainless-steel buckles, with many professional products supplied in boxes of 100 pieces. Manufacturer specifications confirm that 19mm ear-lock buckles are commonly available in AISI 201 or AISI 304 stainless steel, typically in 100-piece packs. 

Steel Buckles 100 Pieces Specifications

A published buckle datasheet specifies 19mm (3/4") width, 1.5mm thickness, Ear-Lock design, AISI 201 or AISI 304 stainless steel and 100 pieces per pack. The same product family includes other widths such as 16mm, 12.7mm and 9.5mm. 

What Are Steel Buckles?

Steel buckles are small mechanical locking devices designed to secure stainless-steel banding after the band has been tensioned around a pole, pipe, bracket or other structure.

Typical installation:

Pole → Stainless Steel Strap → Steel Buckle → Tension → Lock

The buckle prevents the tensioned band from loosening after installation.

Steel Buckles for Stainless Steel Strap

These buckles are normally used with:

• 30m stainless-steel strap

• 50m stainless-steel strap

• C201/C301 stainless-steel band

• AISI 201 stainless-steel strap

• AISI 304 stainless-steel strap

The buckle width should match the width of the selected band.

For example:

19mm Strap → 19mm Buckle

Using a correctly matched buckle provides better locking and reduces the likelihood of slipping.

19mm Steel Buckles

The 19mm buckle is one of the most common sizes used in telecom and utility installations.

19mm is approximately:

3/4 inch

A published specification for this size gives:

A separate commercial listing also confirms 19mm stainless-steel buckles sold in boxes of 100 for use with compatible stainless-steel banding. 

20mm Steel Buckles

20mm buckles are also widely used with approximately 20mm stainless-steel banding.

A procurement specification for utility hardware specifically calls for:

Stainless Steel Buckles for Stainless Steel Strapping – 100 pieces per box × 20mm

and separately specifies Grade 304 buckles for 19mm × 0.7mm stainless-steel strapping, again in boxes of 100.

19mm vs 20mm Steel Buckles

Always match the buckle to the actual strap dimensions.

AISI 201 Steel Buckles

AISI 201 stainless steel is commonly used for banding buckles because it provides a useful combination of:

• Mechanical strength

• Yield strength

• Tensile strength

• Corrosion resistance

• Economical cost

One manufacturer describes its 19mm Grade 201 buckle as suitable for use with compatible stainless banding and recommends double wrapping the band where increased clamping force is required. 

AISI 304 Steel Buckles

AISI 304 provides improved corrosion resistance and is commonly selected for:

• Outdoor telecom projects

• Utility installations

• Humid environments

• Long-term infrastructure

• More aggressive weather exposure

Manufacturers offer many banding buckle sizes in either AISI 201 or AISI 304 stainless steel. 

Ear-Lock Steel Buckles

An Ear-Lock buckle uses raised locking ears or tabs.

These ears help secure the band once the correct tension has been applied.

Common professional Ear-Lock specifications include:

• 19mm × 1.5mm

• 16mm × 1.5mm

• 12.7mm × 1.5mm

• 9.5mm × 1.0–1.2mm

with 100 pieces per pack. 

L-Type Steel Buckles

Some banding systems use L-Type buckles instead of Ear-Lock designs.

A manufacturer lists L-Type models in sizes including:

• 6.4mm

• 10mm

• 20mm

with AISI 201 or AISI 304 construction and 100-piece packaging. 

The exact buckle type should match the banding system being installed.

Steel Buckles for ADSS Fibre Installations

Steel buckles are widely used during aerial ADSS fibre deployment.

They form part of the mounting system for accessories such as:

• Universal Pole Brackets

• J-Hook Suspension Clamps

• Downlead Clamps

• Cable Storage Brackets

• Fibre closure brackets

• FAT mounting brackets

• Other telecom pole hardware

Typical arrangement:

Concrete Pole
↓
Stainless Steel Band
↓
Steel Buckle
↓
Universal Pole Bracket
↓
PA1500 / PA2000 Clamp

Steel Buckles for Universal Pole Brackets

Universal Pole Brackets frequently use stainless-steel bands for pole mounting.

The band passes through the bracket's mounting slots and is secured using one or more buckles.

This provides:

• Strong attachment

• Adjustable installation

• Compatibility with different pole diameters

• No drilling on many installations

Steel Buckles for J-Hook Clamps

J-Hook suspension hardware can also be attached using stainless banding and compatible buckles.

Typical configuration:

Pole → Band + Buckle → J-Hook → ADSS Cable

Steel Buckles for Downlead Clamps

Downlead clamps commonly use stainless-steel straps to attach to utility poles.

The buckle locks each strap once tension has been applied.

Typical setup:

Pole → Stainless Strap → Steel Buckle → Downlead Clamp

Steel Buckles for Cable Storage Brackets

Cable storage brackets used to store spare fibre loops may also be mounted using stainless-steel bands and buckles.

This is particularly useful around:

• Jointing poles

• Fibre closure locations

• FTTH distribution routes

• Backbone fibre links

The steel buckle is one of the most important components in a stainless-steel pole banding system. The strap provides the clamping force, while the buckle provides the locking point that keeps the band tight around the structure.

For fibre installers, a pack of 100 pieces is particularly convenient because an aerial deployment may require several bands and buckles on each pole. Universal Pole Brackets, downlead clamps, J-Hooks and cable storage hardware may all require banding at different points along the same fibre route.

Using the correct buckle size is important. A 19mm strap should normally be paired with a compatible 19mm buckle, while 20mm banding should use a buckle designed for the corresponding width.

How to Use Steel Buckles

1. Cut the required length of stainless-steel strap.

2. Slide the buckle onto the strap.

3. Fold the band around the buckle.

4. Position the bracket or accessory.

5. Wrap the band around the pole.

6. Pass the loose end through the buckle.

7. Insert the strap into the banding tool.

8. Apply the required tension.

9. Bend the strap back toward the buckle.

10. Lock the buckle ears or tabs where applicable.

11. Cut the excess strap.

12. Secure the remaining edge.

13. Check the bracket for movement.

Single-Wrap Banding

In a single-wrap installation, the stainless-steel strap makes one full turn around the pole.

This may be suitable for certain lighter applications, depending on:

• Hardware load

• Pole diameter

• Strap specification

• Buckle specification

• Manufacturer instructions

Double-Wrap Banding

Some buckle designs can be used with a double-wrapped stainless-steel band.

Double wrapping can increase holding force for suitable applications. One manufacturer specifically states that its buckle can hold single- or double-wrapped band configurations. 

The required wrapping method should follow the hardware manufacturer's installation requirements.

Steel Buckles and Banding Tool

A complete professional installation normally uses:

Corrosion Resistance

Banding buckles intended for telecom work are generally manufactured from corrosion-resistant stainless steel.

One manufacturer's datasheet specifically identifies the buckles as:

• Stainless steel

• UV resistant

• Corrosion resistant 

This makes them suitable for long-term outdoor pole installations.

Weather Resistance

Outdoor banding hardware may face:

• Rain

• Humidity

• UV exposure

• Dust

• Wind

• Temperature changes

• Vibration

Quality stainless-steel buckles are designed for harsh weather and mechanical loads. 

Steel Buckles vs Ordinary Metal Clips

For professional fibre installations, purpose-built banding buckles are preferable.

Steel Buckles vs Plastic Fasteners

Steel Buckles 100 Pieces Price in Kenya

Prices vary considerably according to:

• Buckle width

• Steel grade

• Buckle thickness

• Ear-Lock or L-Type design

• Manufacturer

• Pack quantity

• Brand

• VAT treatment

Because local listings for identical 100-piece telecom buckle packs are inconsistent, it is best to confirm the exact 19mm or 20mm buckle specification before comparing prices.
