Selection checklist for AV integrators

  1. Environment: In air-handling spaces, choose plenum cable ties (Natural, Red, or Burgundy Air Handling Plenum Series). In sun-exposed or outdoor areas, select UV Black ties and mounts.
  2. Bundle protection: Use hook & loop for category and fiber bundles to prevent deformation; add PET or F6 self-wrapping sleeving where abrasion or frequent service is expected.
  3. Pass-through quality: Use Wireports with Grommet or Décor Brush Plates to reduce dust and jacket wear at wall, millwork, and rack penetrations.
  4. Strain relief and ID: Apply 3M heat shrink at connectors and Scotch Super 33+ or Color Coding Tape for quick visual identification in racks and field junctions.
  5. Mounting method: Adhesive pads for smooth surfaces; screw-down anchor mounts for long-term or high-vibration installs; mounting head ties for direct panel attachment.
  6. Packaging and quantity: Many items are price per bag or spool (e.g., 100/bag ties, 50–100' sleeving). Standardize on sizes like 7.6 inch 50 lbs. ties and 3/4" hook & loop to simplify stocking.

Project workflow advantages
- SmartWire synergy: Combine SmartWire cable identification with heat shrink and color coding tape to preserve labeling through terminations and service loops, improving commissioning and future troubleshooting.
- RackPacks kitting: Pre-stage rooms or floors with RackPacks that include the right mix of plenum cable ties, adhesive mounts, brush plates, and hook & loop. Kitting reduces trips to the warehouse and keeps installation crews moving.

Frequently Asked Questions: Cabling Accessories

  • How do I choose between adhesive mounts, anchor mounts, and brush/entrance plates?

    Use adhesive mounts when you need fast, tool-free tie-down points on smooth surfaces—e.g., 1" black rubber adhesive mounting pads (18–50 lb series), typically sold 100/bag (price per bag).
    For a mechanical hold, pick cable tie anchor mounts (.58" x .37", .15" hole dia, .2" max tie width, PA66) or UV‑resistant black zip-tie mounts (UL listed) in 100-packs.
    For clean pass-throughs in walls or racks, select Single/Double Gang Wireport or Splitport with grommet, or Décor Brush Plates (black or white), including reversible two‑piece low‑voltage entrance plates.

  • Can I use these accessories in plenum or air‑handling spaces?

    Yes. We offer Plenum and Air Handling Plenum Series cable ties in multiple lengths (4.1", 7.6", 8.1", 8.9", 11.1", 11.6", 14.6") with 18–50 lb ratings, in natural, UV black, burgundy, and red, plus mounting‑head variants for direct attachment. Choose UV black where exposure requires added UV resistance. Always follow job specs and local code when selecting plenum‑rated components.

  • How are these accessories priced and packaged?

    Many small parts are priced per bag or pack (e.g., adhesive pads 100/bag). Some cable ties are priced per tie, others by retail spools of 100 ties, or larger bags (e.g., 100 or 1,000—see “Order for 1” notes).
