ABSTRACT:
A one-piece cable tie for securing a cable to a mounting surface having a threaded stud attached thereto, the cable having an outer sheath of convoluted tubing. The cable tie comprises an elongated strap and a locking head on one end of the strap. The locking head is adapted to cooperate with the strap to form a loop around the cable. The cable tie further includes a fastener coupled to the locking head for securing the cable to the threaded stud. The fastener includes a boss having a central bore to enable the boss to be mounted over the threaded stud. The fastener also includes a plurality of flexible fingers formed to the boss which are disposed to project into the bore. Each finger comprises an arm pivotally connected to the boss and an engagement head formed to the arm for engaging the threaded stud. The fastener further includes a cover connected to the boss. The cover is constructed so that at least a portion thereof will breakaway from the boss in order to accommodate threaded studs of a length greater than the length of the boss. The cable tie also includes a rib formed on the locking head to engage a cable which is small in size in order to prevent movement of the cable tie relative to the cable and a rib formed on the fastener to engage a cable which is large in size in order to prevent movement of the cable tie relative to the cable.
