cable ties

Plastic binding strips

Cable ties are thin plastic strips with a ratcheting mechanism that locks when threaded through a slot, creating a loop that tightens but doesn't release.

Used to bundle wires, secure items, or fasten objects together: I used cable ties to organize the cables behind my desk.

Also called zip ties.

The single-use design requires cutting to remove.
