Black Nylon Cable Ties 3 x 200mm
Quick answer: these black nylon cable ties are 3 mm wide and 200 mm long, with pack options of 100, 200, 500 or 1000 pieces. They are also commonly called black zip ties, nylon tie wraps or plastic cable ties. Choose them for routine cable bundling and general fastening when the 3 x 200 mm size fits the job.
This listing does not publish a tensile-load, UV/weather, temperature or compliance rating. For any safety-critical, structural, long-term outdoor or regulated use, select a product with the exact documented rating required for that application.

Choose a 100, 200, 500 or 1000 Piece Pack
Every variant uses the same listed black 3 x 200 mm tie. The option changes the number of pieces supplied:
- 100 pieces: a practical starting quantity for home, office, workshop or one-off cable organisation.
- 200 pieces: useful when the same size is needed across several desks, devices or storage areas.
- 500 pieces: suited to repeated routine bundling where a larger supply reduces reordering.
- 1000 pieces: the largest current option for regular use of this exact size and colour.
Choose by expected usage rather than price alone. A larger pack is most useful when 3 x 200 mm has already been checked against the intended bundle.
What Does 3 x 200 mm Mean?
The first measurement is the nominal strap width and the second is the total nominal length before fastening. The usable loop is shorter than 200 mm because part of the strap passes through the locking head and a tail is needed for handling.
To check fit, wrap a flexible tape measure around the bundle at its widest point. Allow extra length for the locking head and the amount of tail you need to grip. Do not assume that every product described as a 200 mm cable tie has the same usable loop, width, head shape or published strength.
Common Uses for Black Zip Ties
Where the dimensions and application are suitable, these ties can help with:
- Grouping data, charging and low-voltage leads.
- Organising loose cables behind desks, shelves or entertainment units.
- Bundling lightweight items for storage and identification.
- Holding temporary labels or tags in place.
- General workshop, office and packing-bench organisation.
A cable tie is a fastening aid, not a substitute for a product with a specified load, electrical, fire, food-contact or weather rating. Avoid overtightening around soft cable jackets, hoses or items that can be crushed.
How to Fit and Trim a Nylon Cable Tie
- Place the tie around the bundle with the locking head in an accessible position.
- Feed the tapered end through the head in the direction accepted by the ratchet.
- Pull gradually while checking that cables are aligned and not pinched.
- Stop when the bundle is secure; extra force is not automatically better.
- Trim the remaining tail with a suitable cutter if needed, leaving no sharp edge that could snag hands or nearby cables.
These are one-way self-locking ties. If you need to reopen and adjust the bundle, compare a releasable option instead of trying to force the locking head backwards.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are nylon cable ties the same as plastic zip ties?
Zip tie, cable tie and tie wrap are common names for this type of self-locking plastic fastener. This product is listed as black nylon in a nominal 3 x 200 mm size.
How long are these black cable ties?
The listed total nominal length is 200 mm. The usable loop is shorter because the strap passes through the locking head and needs a tail for tightening.
Are these 3 mm or 3.6 mm cable ties?
This product is listed as 3 mm wide. Boxy's coloured 150 mm ties are a separate 3.6 mm product, so compare the exact listing rather than treating the sizes as interchangeable.
Are these heavy-duty black cable ties?
No tensile or load rating is published for this listing, so they should not be selected by an assumed heavy-duty class. Use the verified 3 x 200 mm dimensions and pack quantity, or choose a rated product when strength is a requirement.
Are these UV-resistant outdoor cable ties?
The current listing does not provide a verified UV or weather-exposure rating. Do not rely on the black colour alone for long-term outdoor suitability; choose a product with documented environmental ratings for that use.
Can I reuse these black zip ties?
These are one-way self-locking ties rather than releasable ties. Use the linked releasable option when the bundle needs regular access or adjustment.
