A cable tie, also known as a zip tie or tie-wrap, is a type of fastener, for binding several electronic cables or wires together.
The cable tie consists of a tape section with triangular teeth that slope in one direction. The head of the cable tie has a slot with a flexible pawl that rides up the slope of these teeth when the tape is inserted. The pawl engages the backside of these teeth to stop removal of the tape.
