<p>A cable tie (100) is provided that includes an integral cable tie head (120) and strap (110). The strap (110) includes a first end forming a neck section (130), a free end (112) opposite the first end, and an intermediate section (114) between the first end and the free end (112), the intermediate section (114) having a predetermined width B1 and thickness T1 defining a predetermined cross-sectional area. The cable tie head (120) is secured to the neck area (130) of the strap at the first end of the strap, the cable tie head (120) having a width E that is wider than strap width B and including a strap accepting channel (140) containing a locking device (150). The strap accepting channel (140) is sized to receive the free end (112) of the strap (110). The next section (130) has a width that transitions from a width of B to a width E' that is substantially the same as width E and a thickness of T2 that is thinner than T1, the neck section (130) having a cross-sectional area that is at least substantially equal to the cross-sectional area of the intermediate section (114) of the strap (110) so as to have a tensile strength at least equal to a tensile strength of the intermediate section (114) of the strap (110). The cable tie (100) may be a bent neck type cable tie. Preferably, the neck section (130) has at least one recessed channel (132,134) defining the reduced thickness T2 and thickened side portions. <IMAGE></p> |
