Cables Direct 292mm x 3.6mm Black Nylon Cable Ties – Pack of 100

The Cables Direct CT-292K is a pack of black nylon cable ties designed for securing, organising and bundling cables and other suitable lightweight items. Each tie measures 292mm long by 3.6mm wide and the pack contains 100 ties.

The exact manufacturer part number is CT-292K. Checking this model number helps distinguish the black 292mm x 3.6mm version from other Cables Direct tie lengths, widths and colours.

The product code listed for this exact Memox item is 5055781249648.

Each tie measures approximately 292mm long x 3.6mm wide, or 29.2cm long by 0.36cm wide.

The pack contains 100 individual cable ties.

Cables Direct specifies Nylon 66, also known as Nylon 6/6 or polyamide 66, for these cable ties.

Nylon 66 combines flexibility, strength and temperature resistance while being easy to mould into the ratchet-and-lock design used by cable ties. These properties make it widely used for cable-management products.

They are black. Black ties can provide a discreet appearance around black PC cases, network cabinets, AV installations and dark cabling.

The Nylon 66 material is specified with a UL 94V-2 flammability classification. UL 94 V-2 is a controlled laboratory material flammability classification in which a vertically tested specimen must self-extinguish within specified time limits; flaming drips can be permitted under the V-2 criteria.

No. A UL 94V-2 classification does not mean the cable ties are fireproof or suitable as fire protection. It describes how the plastic material behaves during a defined small-scale flammability test.

The published operating temperature range is approximately -40°C to +85°C.

The specified operating range extends down to approximately -40°C. Actual suitability still depends on the complete installation and whether the ties are exposed to additional factors such as moisture, chemicals, vibration or sunlight.

They are specified for operating temperatures up to approximately +85°C. Do not position them directly against components or surfaces that can exceed the rated temperature, such as heaters, exhausts or very hot industrial equipment.

Yes. Typical indoor applications include PC cable management, networking, office wiring, AV installations, workshops, storage areas and general cable organisation.

For temporary sheltered use they may be suitable where the temperature remains within specification, but Cables Direct's published specification for this exact model does not state a permanent outdoor or weather-resistant certification. For long-term outdoor installation, a cable tie specifically rated for outdoor and UV exposure is the safer choice.

UV resistance is not explicitly specified for this exact CT-292K model. Black colour alone should not be treated as proof that the nylon has been UV stabilised. Choose a specifically UV-rated cable tie for permanent direct-sunlight installations.

No specific waterproof or weatherproof rating is published for CT-292K. Nylon ties can be used in many normal environments, but for permanently wet, submerged or exposed outdoor installations choose a fixing product specifically certified for those conditions.

Yes. Cables Direct specifically identifies cable management and network cable installations as suitable uses for its 292mm ties. The length allows several network cables to be grouped together where appropriate.

Yes, but do not overtighten them around Ethernet cables. The tie should hold the bundle securely without crushing or visibly deforming the cable jackets. For structured cabling that is frequently changed, reusable hook-and-loop straps are often more convenient.

They can be used to organise compatible Ethernet cables, but larger and stiffer cable types such as Cat6a require particular care. Maintain the cable manufacturer's minimum bend radius and avoid tightening the tie enough to deform the cable.

Yes. Their black colour and 292mm length make them useful for securing suitable cable bundles inside network cabinets, comms cupboards and similar installations.

Yes for suitable fixed cable-management tasks. However, where server or patch cables are regularly moved, added or replaced, hook-and-loop cable straps are often more convenient because they can be opened without cutting them off.

Yes. They can be used to organise fan, front-panel, SATA, power and other PC cables where there is enough clearance. Use the case's cable-management loops where available and avoid overtightening around wires.

Tighten them only enough to hold the cables securely. The cable bundle should not be crushed or visibly pinched. Leaving a small amount of movement also makes later maintenance and safe tie removal easier.

Yes, they can organise suitable PC power-supply cables. Avoid excessive pressure, very sharp cable bends or placing a tie immediately beside a tightly folded connector cable.

Yes. Their 3.6mm width makes them useful for grouping suitable SATA power, SATA data, fan and front-panel wiring, provided the cables are not pinched or pulled under tension.

They can physically hold fibre cabling, but fibre is sensitive to pressure and bend radius. Use very light tension and follow the fibre manufacturer's bend-radius requirements. Hook-and-loop straps are often preferred for structured fibre installations because they are less likely to be overtightened.

Yes for general organisation, provided the ties are not tightened enough to deform the cable and the cable's minimum bend radius is maintained.

Yes. A 292mm tie is long enough for many desk cable bundles, including monitor, power, USB, Ethernet and peripheral cables.

Yes. They can help organise cable groups under desks, behind office equipment and around appropriate cable-management trays or anchor points.

Yes. They can organise HDMI, Ethernet, antenna, speaker and power cables where suitable, helping keep bundles tidy behind televisions, consoles and AV equipment.

Yes for general lightweight organisation and cable bundling within the stated operating-temperature range. They should not be used as a substitute for a certified structural, lifting or safety restraint.

They can be useful for suitable cable organisation inside a vehicle where the temperature remains within specification. Keep them away from moving components, sharp edges and areas where failure could affect vehicle safety.

This exact model is not specifically published as an automotive engine-bay tie. Under-bonnet installations can involve high temperatures, oils, chemicals and vibration. Use an automotive-rated tie when those conditions are expected.

For long-term exposed garden installations, use ties specifically rated for UV and outdoor weather exposure because CT-292K does not have a published UV-resistance specification.

They are not ideal for growing plants because a locking nylon tie can become too tight as a stem expands. Reusable, flexible garden ties are generally a better choice for living plants.

Yes for suitable cable-management applications, but a cable tie does not replace electrical insulation, cable glands, clips, conduit, strain relief or any fixing required by electrical regulations.

They can be used for light cable organisation where appropriate, but avoid excessive tightening and heat sources. They must not be used as electrical insulation or as a substitute for an approved electrical cable restraint where one is required.

Not where certified strain relief is required. A standard cable tie can help organise a cable, but it should not replace a proper cable gland, strain-relief clamp or other safety-approved fitting.

It may be suitable for light organisation of small non-critical items, but it is not a hose clamp, pipe support or pressure-rated fitting. Do not use it where failure could cause a leak, mechanical hazard or structural problem.

Cables Direct's public specification for this exact CT-292K does not state a verified maximum bundle diameter. The 292mm overall tie length should not be interpreted as a 292mm bundle diameter because part of the tie must pass through and engage with the locking head.

A 292mm tie provides more length for larger cable groups, thicker bundles and installations where additional reach is useful. A shorter tie can be neater for very small bundles, so the best length depends on the application.

3.6mm provides a useful middle ground between very narrow miniature ties and much wider heavy-duty ties. It offers enough width for many PC, networking, AV and general-purpose cable-management jobs without being unnecessarily bulky.

Two compatible locking ties can sometimes be linked together for light-duty temporary organisation, but the result should not be treated as having the same predictable strength or reliability as a correctly sized single longer tie. Use a longer purpose-made tie for important installations.

Yes. Excess tail can be trimmed after installation. Cut it close to the head using suitable cutters, but take care not to damage the secured cables or leave a sharp protruding plastic edge.

Flush cutters or suitable side cutters provide a cleaner result than tearing or twisting the excess tail. Cable-tie installation tools can also tension and trim ties where many ties are being installed.

Use small cutters carefully at the locking head or exposed tail while keeping the cutting edge away from the cable jacket. Avoid sliding a knife or scissor blade directly underneath a tightly fitted tie because this increases the chance of cutting the cable.

They should primarily be treated as locking nylon cable ties for permanent or semi-permanent organisation. Some distributor data for CT-292K has described a release feature, but reusability is not consistently stated across the current product specifications. If frequent reopening is important, a purpose-made reusable or hook-and-loop tie is the better choice.

Use nylon cable ties when you want a compact, secure and inexpensive fixing that is unlikely to be adjusted frequently. Hook-and-loop straps are usually better for patch panels, desktop cables and PC wiring that will regularly be added, removed or rearranged.

Yes, if the mount accepts a tie approximately 3.6mm wide and the mount itself is suitable for the surface and load. The overall installation is only as reliable as the mounting base and adhesive or screw fixing used.

Yes, if the tool supports standard nylon ties approximately 3.6mm wide. Set the tension appropriately for the cable being secured so the tool does not overtighten and damage the cable jacket.

Yes. Excessive tension can compress cable jackets, deform data cables or create unnecessary pressure on internal conductors. Tighten only enough to hold the bundle securely without crushing it.

They can help by keeping loose cables away from fans and major airflow paths. The benefit comes from better cable positioning rather than from the cable ties themselves.

Avoid using a tight cable tie to force a cable into a bend sharper than its recommended radius. Position ties so the cable can follow a natural curve, especially with Ethernet, coaxial, fibre-optic and thick PSU cables.

A verified minimum loop tensile-strength figure is not stated in the Cables Direct specifications reviewed for this exact CT-292K model. For any application where a known load rating is required, choose a cable tie with an explicitly certified tensile or working-load specification.

No load-bearing or structural working-load rating is published for this product. They should therefore be used for cable management and suitable light securing tasks rather than structural support or safety-critical restraint.

No. They are not lifting equipment and should not be used to suspend people, heavy equipment or anything where failure could cause injury or damage.

They can physically hold items together, but they are not specified as numbered, certified or tamper-evident security seals. Use a purpose-designed security seal where evidence of tampering is required.

No specific food-contact certification is stated for CT-292K. Do not assume suitability for direct food contact without the required food-safety certification.

No medical-device certification is specified. They are general cable-management products and should not be used where a medically certified material or fastening system is required.

Nylon 66 can have useful resistance to various everyday substances, but the public specification for this exact Cables Direct CT-292K does not provide a detailed chemical-resistance certification. Use a tie specifically rated for the chemical environment when exposure is significant or safety-critical.

Keep unused ties in their packaging in a reasonably cool, dry indoor location away from strong heat and prolonged direct sunlight. Nylon properties can be affected by environmental conditions, so appropriate storage helps maintain flexibility before installation.

They are not the right choice where you specifically require certified UV resistance, permanent outdoor exposure, a verified structural or lifting load rating, a certified chemical-resistant fixing, food-contact certification, medical certification or a frequently reusable cable-management strap. Choose a specialist tie for those applications.

The package contains 100 black Cables Direct Nylon 66 cable ties, each measuring approximately 292mm long x 3.6mm wide.
