The Rapstrap
The rapstrap is a new way to quickly tie up just about anything.
It's innovative design combines a clever shape with a custom polymer to produce an incredibly versatile fastener. In use, rapstrap affords a softer and more flexible alternative to traditional types of cable and wire ties, structured cabling and unlike its predecessors, it's a lot more efficient. When you cut the end off a rapstrap, you can use it again and again, getting several ties from just one strap.
The humble cable tie has been around since the 1950s, and hasn't changed much during that time, zip ties and other plastic cable ties. Often the first choice for most applications, they're not ideal. They damage cables on many fiber cable and structured cabling projects, they leave sharp edges, and a lot of plastic gets wasted. In many cases, up to 80% of the tie ends up as landfill.
So we've developed the rapstrap as a more efficient alternative. This quick release tie is made for cables, when you cut the end off, you just use it again! Made from elasticated polyurethane, a single 12" rapstrap typically replaces up to 5 standard ties on cables, greatly reducing waste and lowering costs. It's soft, flexible and extremely versatile, it won't pinch fiber cable or any cables like nylon ties can, and it's flexible enough to be used on plants or other delicate installations. We think it's an innovation long overdue.
This "self-terminating" system means that the rapstrap gets progressively used up from the back, whilst the front end (with the tongue still attached) is kept and used again. rapstrap is supplied in convenient tear-off sheets of To remove a rapstrap for use, simply tear down quickly from the tongue end and start tying!
