MIL-T-43435
While cable ties are the most common method of wire dressing, there is an alternate method known as cable lacing. This method has been used on aircraft, ships,
and military equipment for many years.
Lacing Tape meets Military Specification MIL-T-43435 and is made of braided
Nylon, Polyester, TFE-Fluorocarbon, Fiberglass or Flexo NX.
The basic concept of lacing is to use a flat cord to tie the cable bundle together.
While lacing may be somewhat of a lost art - it’s easy to learn, and you will be lacing your bundling projects in no time.
Why lacing tape? Lasts longer than cable ties. Cable ties turn brittle
and degrade over time due to environmental exposure
and loss of plasticizers. A roll of lacing tape can manage
any size cable bundle, from a couple of 22AWG wires to
a fistful of heavy power cables.
Cable ties leave a sharp edge where the tail was cut off
that can snag or get hung up. Some applications such as
aerospace and aviation may specify laced harnesses as
a design requirement. Lacing tape is ideal for lashing wires
or cables to ladder bars, conduit and other wire
management solutions.
Unlike cable ties, the insulation on wires bundled with lacing
tape has less chance of cold flowing and shorting. No sharp
edges to cut installer’s hands when reaching into a tightly
packed wiring cavity. Lacing tape is available in a wide range
of materials, sizes and finishes to accommodate any
engineering requirement.
