MX Mixed Nylon Cable Ties

MX Mixed Nylon Cable Ties

MX Mixed Nylon Cable Ties are an assortment of nylon cable ties supplied in a mix of sizes, intended for bundling and organising cables and small items of different thicknesses. Instead of holding a single tie size and cutting down an oversized tie for every small job, the user picks a tie that matches the bundle in hand. Short ties suit a pair of earphone leads or a thin patch cable, while longer ties in the assortment handle a coil of speaker cable or a group of mains leads. The self-locking design described for these ties grips once tightened, holding the bundle together without tape, string or improvised fasteners.

Key Features

• Mixed assortment of tie sizes in one pack
• Nylon cable tie construction
• Self-locking teeth grip that holds once tightened
• Suitable for thin leads through to thicker cable bundles
• Useful for home, studio, rack and gig bag organisation

Why a Mixed Assortment Helps

Cable bundles are rarely all the same size. A charging lead, a bundle of network cords and a coiled extension cable each need a different tie length, and using one long tie for everything wastes material and leaves untidy tails on small bundles. A mixed pack solves that matching problem in advance. The right size is already in the drawer or toolkit, so a new piece of equipment can be wired in neatly the day it arrives instead of waiting for a separate trip to find suitable ties. For installers and technicians who tidy many different setups, carrying one mixed assortment is simpler than carrying several single-size packs and guessing which one a given job will need.

Tidying Cables at Home, in the Studio and on Stage

Behind a television, mixed ties gather HDMI, power and audio leads into one managed run instead of a loose nest that traps dust and makes swapping a device difficult. Under a desk, they keep charger and peripheral cables grouped and lifted away from feet and castors. In a studio or equipment rack, they organise patch leads and power cords so a single cable can be traced from end to end when something needs changing. In a gig bag, they keep spare cables coiled in separate, labelled bundles that unroll quickly during setup. The same assortment also helps in workshops and storage areas, where cables, hoses and small parts need grouping without permanent fixings.

How Self-Locking Ties Work

A nylon cable tie feeds its tail through a locking head at one end. Teeth moulded along the tail engage with the head as it is pulled through, so the loop tightens around the bundle and resists loosening. Once cinched, the excess tail is usually trimmed flush for a neat finish. Because the lock is one-way, positioning matters: gather the cables, arrange them in the sequence and shape wanted, and only then pull the tie fully tight. For bundles that will be opened often, ties can be left as temporary organisation during setup and replaced at the final tidy, keeping the finished runs clean and consistent throughout the installation.

Planning a Tidy Cable Run

Good cable management starts before the first tie is tightened. Group cables by destination rather than by convenience, keep power leads and signal leads in separate bundles where the layout allows, and leave enough slack at each end so connectors are not pulled sideways by a tight run. Space ties at intervals along long bundles instead of relying on a single tie in the middle, and avoid overtightening around delicate leads. A mixed assortment supports this approach because each bundle gets a tie sized to its actual diameter, producing runs that look deliberate, stay accessible for maintenance, and can be modified one bundle at a time when equipment changes.

MX Mixed Nylon Cable Ties give homes, studios and work kits a flexible way to keep cables grouped, labelled and under control, with a suitable tie size available for jobs large and small.
