Self-locking nylon cable tie
A self-locking nylon cable tie, also known as a zip tie or cable tie, is a versatile fastening tool used for bundling and organizing cables, wires, and other items. It consists of a flexible nylon strip with teeth on one side and a ratchet mechanism on the other, allowing it to be looped around items and tightened securely.
