10 ideas on how to carefully lay and mark wires using a cable tie

To route exposed wires neatly, all you need is several packages of cable ties of different sizes, self-adhesive labels, and clear heat shrink tubing. You'll be surprised how much you can make from these materials.

Forming a flat tire from a bunch

A tie is attached to the bundle of wires being pulled together, but not tightened. Then the same nylon clamps are placed between the wires.

Now, after tightening all the ties, you will get a neat line of non-intersecting wires.

Marking with a longitudinal tag

A label is glued to a piece of a large tie. Then holes are drilled in the corners of the plate.

Transparent heat shrink is placed on the tag and shrinks.

After this, it is installed on the cable to be marked with two small ties.

Marking with cross tag

In this version of the tag, a paper label is also glued to the piece of tie. It is then fixed with transparent heat shrink.From one edge of the tag you drill 2 holes through which it is tightened onto the cable with a tie.

Quick tags from clamps

A separate tie is tightened for each wire.

A label is glued to its base. It is then protected with transparent heat shrink.

The excess length of the clamp is cut off.

Tags from scrap ties

You can glue a label to the cut tail from the screed and protect it with heat shrink. Then the marked section is pulled onto the cable with a thin tie.

Permanent tag with notch

Notches are made on the edges of the screed section. Then a label is glued in the center and shrink-wrapped. The finished tag is installed on the wire with ties. Thanks to the notches, it will definitely not fall off, even if the clamps are slightly loosened when bending the cable.

Tag with two thin clamps

A second one is strung onto one tie. A label is glued to the installed one and protected with heat-shrink tubing. Then the whole tie is installed on the wire.

Laying cable through a pipe

This method will help to lay the cable through the pipe so that it does not touch it. They are baited with ties first without tightening. Then small ties are placed on the clamps between the pipe and the wire. After tightening the fasteners, there will be a gap between the cable and the pipe.

Laying multiple wires through a pipe

If you need to lay several wires through a pipe, then everything is done in the same way as the previous method. The only difference is that a tie is placed in front of each cable to create a gap.

Formation of a tire from a bundle option 2

The wires are aligned in parallel. Large clamps are attached to them and turned out as in the photo. A small tie is then placed between each cable. It should simultaneously grab 2 adjacent clamps.One is grabbed behind the wires, the second from the front side.
