Cat-6 Ties

[Sunrise05]

Need to find Plenum Rated Velcro Tie Wraps to bundle Cat-6 cables in a plenum space. Do such items exist? Anyone have a better way to bundle Cat-6 w/out using Nylon tie Wraps?

Apparently it exists

Only found 1 place that carries it using froogle.. PC connection

16.90 for a 10 pack.. so it's not cheap but it exists

plenum tye wraps are very expensive also, over a dollar US apiece.

These will do the job. Found them for about .50 each. Thanks for the guidance.

Which ones are "these"?

The answer has always been 42

Just saw a magazine add for these guys and thought of this thread.

WestPac has excellent products, including rolls, which is very useful since you can cut them to the length you need.

Plenum velcro is REALLY expensive by comparison.

3M has a lightweight regular velcro-type thing, maybe they have a plenum version as well?

If you are paying .50 a piece for a 6-8" plenum tie wrap, you need to switch where you are buying them from.

These are reusable plenum and work really well.

but those are not velcro as was requested

Really not supposed to use Nylon ties on Cat-6. Over time they tend to "bend" the cable. Also, techs have a tendency to over tighten. I got the Velcro brand PLE rated wraps from one of my vendors for around 55 cents each. Cost is more than the .06 cent each for nylon non-plenum, but I just pass the cost onto the customer with an explanation
