Therefore, various types have been produced for inventories of differing weights ever since they were first invented in 1898. It is because of further innovation that one can find patents of some specific cable ties available in the market; an example of this is the three hook cable tie and releasable cable ties.

There are many different methods of tying cables ties, namely, constrictor knot, surgeon's knot, cable lacing, binding knots etcetera. However, all of them serve the same purpose, be it tyinf a bundle of wire together in a factory, tying up the verdict's wrists or whether it is some hospital application.

Often when small electrical wires need to be included with the product as part of the complete package, various sizes of cable wires should be made handy which help to keep bunches in one place, avoiding any potential loss. Secondly, a bundle of any thickness or width can be made secure to any extent required. This is done by creating a desired extension and then cutting the remaining length off, therefore, a wiring loom is created.

The serrations along the length of tie helps in securing it at the ratchet created with a small case. As the tie is pulled through the serrations and past the ratchet and finally into the opening case, a clicking sound is heard which indicates a secure and strong loom being wound around the bundle. However, with the exception of releasable cable ties, once the tie has gone past the ratchet, it is prevented from being pulled back.

Moreover, if ordinary ones are used for fastening objects or wires together it is advisable to keep the loom loose if more are to be added in to the bundle. Only, when a satisfied weight is achieved with respect to assorted ties, they are made tighter and finally secure with the required tension.

Similarly, as the tie is tightened on the criminal's wrist, it is done very carefully by policemen to an extent that it only makes the wrists of the verdict secure and not hurt them, otherwise, if the loom has been made very tight, it can only hurt the hands and eventually the tie would have to be cut off in order to tie a completely new. The strong strength of the tie helps is preventing a person from escaping. Usually, ordinary ties are used and releasable ties are not used for such purposes.

Another of the many advantages of cable ties is that anchor points can be bought to be used along. Due to these, the loom can then be fixed in a suitable place according to the extension of loom being created. These anchor points have a hole and an adhesive back which allow a protective layer to be peeled and the point to be fixed.

Another very useful application of these ties is in the central processing unit of the computer, looking inside one would find a confusion of wires, however, once bunches are tied with cable ties and those tied with each other can help sort the problem out for the owner. This is where colour codes become helpful.

With the innovation of technology one would find many other advantages some day.
