The COBRA Cable Tie Co. offers the first next generation cable tie - the 7.5 inch COBRA where "safety in application" is the most important feature. With an exceedingly low profile and a contoured locking head, the COBRA configuration is safer, more flexible and stronger than existing cable ties. Safer because the (often barbed) stub is now deflected into a pocket at the rear of the head. More flexible because the flat lock section curves to the bundle contour. Stronger because the COBRA uses an inline geometry, eliminating the stress points of traditional cable ties.
