How describe those cable ties for tidying cable?

[Jon D]

I am looking to buy what I might call "cable ties" or even "cable tidies".

I do not mean the usual self-locking nylon strip that is called a cable tie.

I do not mean the "re-usable" or "releasable" or "trigger release" versions of the above. mean something more like this: type I am thinking of is a sort of "cable tidy" which you might get on the mains lead of a new TV. It tends to be wider than the nylon ties, perhaps made of high-density polythene rather than nylon, and had more exaggerated ridges than the last picture.

Does anyone know what the correct term is for that and where I can get them in the UK?

They are sold in garden shops as plant ties - various sizes for e.g. fruit trees etc. Usually dark green or black only

Have you considered the velcro type used in the computing industry?

Or the wire-in-plastic freezer-bag ties that are often used to keep cables coiled up in the boxes of computer and hi-fi equipment.

Try the 99p shop, if you have one near. My local has nice bundles of all pretty colours. I would not recommend the use of the metal cored, freezer bag tie, as this will leave a sharp metal end, to either stab you with, or scratch the motherboard causing a short.

Thank You

Thank you to everyone who answered. Most helpful and I have got some new ideas on what I might use. Cheers!
