In modern electrical and automation installations, the proper bundling, routing and securing of cables is critical not only for functionality but also for safety, accessibility and aesthetics. OBO Bettermann cable ties – including nylon, stainless-steel, reusable and heavy-duty variants – are engineered to meet the demands of commercial, industrial and infrastructure environments: reliable fixation, environmental resistance, regulatory compliance and system-wide standardisation.

From a procurement and specifier perspective: key parameters include tensile strength (kN or N), material finish (PA66, stainless steel A2/A4), UV / oil / chemical resistance, reuse capability and compatibility with existing cable-management systems. Specifying OBO Bettermann cable ties helps eliminate sub-standard fixings, improves bundle stability, reduces installation time and simplifies maintenance workflows.

OBO Bettermann Nylon Cable Ties

The standard OBO nylon tie (e.g., series 565) is manufactured from PA66, available in widths from 2.5 mm up to 9 mm and lengths up to 760 mm
Features include:

Typical tensile strength up to several hundred N depending on size.
Available in standard (WS) and UV-resistant (SWUV) versions for outdoor or sun-exposed installations.
Procurement tip: select a width and length that accommodate the largest immediate bundle plus future expansion, and opt for UV-resistant if exposed to sunlight or corrosive environment.

OBO Bettermann Stainless-Steel Cable Ties & Heavy Duty Versions

For high-temperature, outdoor, chemical or fire-protected environments, OBO offers stainless-steel ties (A2/A4) and heavy-duty versions in larger widths/lengths (7.6 mm, 9 mm widths, lengths up to 760 mm).
These provide superior mechanical strength, corrosion resistance and longevity — ideal for industrial plants, offshore, tunnels and critical infrastructure.

OBO Bettermann Reusable Cable Ties & Mounting Clips

In projects where flexibility and re-routing is required (e.g., data centres, modular automation panels), OBO offers reusable cable ties and clip-mount accessories (strip clips like MBS series).
By standardising on reusable ties, you reduce waste, speed change-over operations and support future upgrades with minimal downtime.

OBO Bettermann Specification Checklist for Procurement Teams

Prior to placing a bulk order of OBO cable ties, ensure you have specified:

Tensile strength / size class: Confirm width, length and rating of the tie (e.g., 4.8 × 300 mm UV-resistant).
Material & finish: Nylon standard or UV resistant; stainless steel for corrosive/high-temp zones.
Environment / exposure: Indoor vs outdoor; UV, chemical, oil, fire-rated.
Reuse vs one-time: Choose reusable ties where change/flexibility is anticipated.
Compatibility with bundle size / growth: Choose length and width to cover current and future cable bundles.
Mounting method/accessory compatibility: If using clips or strip mounts, ensure part-numbers match system (e.g., MBS-series).
Standards & traceability: Ensure tie system meets relevant standards and is listed in your BOM under branded series for spares consistency.

Neglecting any of these factors can lead to over-specification cost, mismatched parts or increased installation/maintenance time.

OBO Bettermann Practical Application & Cost Metrics

Retrofit scenario: Using UV-resistant nylon ties (SWUV) instead of standard nylon for outdoor tray runs prevents premature embrittlement and tie failure — lowering maintenance cost and replacement frequency.
Heavy-duty plant installation: Specifying stainless-steel ties for cable racks in a chemical plant reduces lifecycle replacement (e.g., one replacement every 15 years vs every 5) and increases uptime.
Modular automation frame build-out: Using reusable OBO Bettermann ties and mounting clips speeds up change-overs for future phases, reducing labour hours and material waste.

Why Standardising on OBO Bettermann Cable Ties Matters

Standardising all cable tying and bundling fixings on the OBO Bettermann brand provides:

Unified part-numbers and simplified spares inventory across multiple zones.
Consistent installation method, reducing installer training time and error risk
Single-vendor documentation (data sheets, load/tensile tables, installation drawings).
Better procurement leverage through volume ordering and fewer suppliers.

In large projects where thousands of cable ties are used, standardising streamlines logistics, reduces mistakes and improves overall system reliability
