RAPSTRAP RED 300MM TIEDOWN CABLE Rapstrap - The next generation cable tie A simple British invention that uses the flexibility of polyurethane and a patented locking system. The humble nylon cable tie has been around since the 1950s and it hasn't changed much during that time, however a simple invention from the UK, Rapstrap is setting out to redefine the cable tie industry. So How Is Rapstrap Different From Traditional Cable Ties? The Rapstrap is manufactured from polyurethane. The main properties of polyurethane are flexibility and strength Unlike traditional nylon cable ties, the flexibility of the Rapstrap means that it is not possible to over-tighten the tie, causing damage or loss of capacity to the cabling. The Rapstrap can also produce up to five ties from a single unit. This is achieved by pushing the tongue of the Rapstrap through one of the last cells and pulling it to there quired size. The excess is then cut off and the same process can be repeated as many times as possible with the remaining section. The soft material of the Rapstrap also ensures that no sharp edges are left when the excess is removed, avoiding possible cuts. As you may have experienced in the field, nylon cable ties can potentially damage cables as they leave sharp edges, and a lot of plastic gets wasted. In many cases, up to 80% of the tie ends up as landfill. Further, using these instances not only means carrying another product to use for specific purpose but it is often an expensive alternative too. Because of its unique properties, the Rapstrap is particularly suited to Categories 5 and 6 cables and has been endorsed by cable manufacturers around the world, including General Cable New Zealand. "The RapStrap, even when pulled tight, is soft and elastic and therefore does not result in the same pressure point that occurs with conventional cable ties. Additionally the RapStap is reusable, flame retardant, and UV stabilized making it an attractive option for outdoor installations or flame spread sensitive type installs such as risers or tunnels. The key to the Rapstrap's fastening is in the patented cell structure. Because of their flexibility the legs of the cell fold back as the strap is drawn through itself. These legs then revert to their original shape and prevent the strap from being released. The Rapstrap's design is a more efficient alternative and its better than the traditional cable tie for a number of reasons. Rapstrap's revolutionary design has many advantages over traditional cable fasteners. Much more cost efficient because you get up to 5 ties from each Rapstrap Last tie is reusable Suitable for Cat. 5 & 6 cabling Soft and flexible with up to 50% stretch Secure and tested to hold up to 12kg Can be used as a releasable tie UV stable with a temperature range of -20ºC to 60ºC.
