An 8-inch cable tie, also known as a zip tie or cable strap, is a type of fastener used to bundle or organize cables, wires, and other items. The 8-inch length (typically measured from end to end) refers to the total length of the tie when not yet tightened. These cable ties are commonly used in both residential and industrial settings for cable management, securing objects together, or organizing wires.

Key characteristics of an 8-inch cable tie:

• Length: 8 inches (approx. 203 mm).
• Material: Often made from durable materials like nylon (typically nylon 66) for flexibility and strength.
• Strength: They usually come in different tensile strengths, such as 18 lbs, 40 lbs, or 50 lbs, which determines how much weight or force the tie can hold.
