A Brief History of Cable Ties
The invention of cable ties, or zip ties, dates back to the 1950s when the growing complexity of electrical systems demanded a more efficient way to bundle and manage wires. Originally developed by Thomas & Betts, cable ties were designed to secure wiring harnesses in airplanes. The first cable ties were made of nylon and featured a simple design with a ratchet and locking mechanism, making them easy to use and highly effective. Over the years, this simple yet ingenious invention evolved to include various materials, colors, and sizes, making tie wraps one of the most versatile and widely used fasteners in the world.
