Exhibit Design Toolkit: Cable Ties
Even the most ubiquitous exhibit tools, like cable ties, are not created equal.
In 1958, Thomas & Betts invented the Ty-Rap® cable tie to solve the problem of harnessing the hundreds of wires used in manufacturing aircraft.
Check out the Thomas & Betts website to revel in amazing cable tie-osity!
The variety of cable ties that T&B offers is pretty amazing. I am especially a fan of their "High Performance" wraps with stainless steel nibs that hold the cable tie in place (forever!) without the slip-prone plastic ratcheting mechanism found in cheaper ties.

I really like the Thomas & Betts website and the cable ties were really very good. Thanks a lot.
