Tie Wraps
and Tie Wrap Mounts
I personally only use
Telephone Gray Tie Wraps
when building a frame (to match
the wire color), but we also have
Black and Natural Tie Wraps
All of our Tie Wraps and
Mounts
are made right here in the Chicago area!
Some Tie Wrap Facts:
Tie Wraps
shouldn't be left in the sun (like on a dashboard or seat). The
nylon material will dry out, making the Tie Wrap brittle and
break when it's tightened. You can fix dried out Tie Wraps by
putting a few drops of water in the bag and sealing it. They nylon will
absorb the moisture, and the Tie Wrap will be good as new.
Tie Wraps will
dry out if left in an opened bag.
Use them up, or put a couple of drops of water in the bag and reseal it.
Clear packing tape works OK. Seal it well so it's air tight.
Tie Wraps shouldn't
be left in freezing weather. The moisture in the nylon will create
microscopic cracks that will permanently damage the Tie Wrap.
They'll be more likely to break when tightened.
All of our Tie Wraps
are packed in bags of 100 even if we sell them in 500
quantity, since you don't want to open a bag and have it laying around,
drying out. Work out of one bag as much as possible!
It's best to use
Telephone Gray or Black Tie Wraps outside. They are UV
resistant, and are better than Natural outside.
Once a Tie Wrap is
tightened on cable (indoors, that doesn't move), the Tie Wrap
will dry out but hold the cable just fine since there's no motion. Don't
over tighten the Tie Wrap, which will deform the cable.
Use our Velcro Tie Wraps on CAT5 or CAT6 cable, since deforming data cable can effect Ethernet speeds (voice usually doesn't care unless you get crazy tightening the Tie Wrap).

Part # SWI4FTEFLON TIE WRAPS
Teflon Tie Wraps are Required in Air Plenum Return Ceilings
When standard Tie Wraps burn, they lot off toxic gas. If they're in a ceiling that's used for the air return on the HVAC system (where the returns aren't ducted), they will distribute the toxic gas to other spaces that aren't on fire, where the people will die (even though there's no fire). You would use Teflon cable in air plenum return ceilings, for the same reason.
Teflon doesn't let off toxic gas when it's burned, so it's safe to use in the plenum return to bundle cables. You don't want to use these in premises with a ducted return (no air plenum return ceiling) since these are incredibly expensive!

NOTE: Use a single 14" Tie Wrap, or put two 8" Tie Wraps together to close the ends of the Tunnel. Each end of the Tunnel has a convenient slot to hold a standard width Tie Wrap. Just snip the Tie Wraps at the two ends of the Tunnel to remove the cables, or leave The Pulling Elbow™ in the ceiling. If you're using more than one Pulling Elbow™ to go around two or more corners (at once), you'll probably need someone paying out the cable from the boxes to help you. |

Part # TOH4G15' FIBERGLASS 1/4" FISH TAPE
Super Light 15 Foot Fiberglass Fish Tape
Goes STRAIGHT up or Down a
Wall!
12" diameter PVC case is both light and
easy to carry
Small enough to carry in your luggage for
out-of town jobs!
The SECRET is that it's made exactly like a 1/4" Steel Fish Tape...
1/4" Wide and 1/8" Thick!
![]() |
![]() |
1/4" Wide |
1/8" Thick |
Feed the flat 1/4" section up or down the wall (facing
you) until
you hit the header or floor, then fish the included 8" chain
(with a
ring to tie the cable onto) out of the hole.
The 1/4" Fiberglass Fish goes straight
up or down - it doesn't go
off to the side and get lost in the wall!
Makes fishing walls a quick and easy one-man job.
8" Ball Chain with a Cable Ring on one end, and a Bullet Nose with a Hole on the other end.
It's definitely the fastest and easiest way to fish an insulated wall, or fish a stubbed pipe!
A little history:
Although phone men have been trying to fish both insulated and un-insulated walls with 1/8" fish tapes for years, they quickly found that the fish would simply coil up inside the wall, and pretty much never come out. That's because the 1/8" fish retains it's coiled memory, so it coils up inside the wall just like it did when it was stored.
In the early 1980's Harris Seltzer, a phone man I worked with at General Dynamics, showed me the magic of the 1/4" fish. It's twice as wide as the regular 1/8" fish (the 1/8" fish was made for fishing pipes, not fishing walls). The extra width and weight of the 1/4" fish helps it to stay flat after it's uncoiled (unlike the 1/8" fish). The extra width means you can feed the fish out along on a suspended ceiling and it will go straight... and you can fish either up or down a wall - and the fish goes straight up or down.
The problem with the 1/4" steel fish was that it was difficult to uncoil and the coil back up, and it's heavy. A new technology has allowed a 1/4" Fiberglass Fish to be made with all of the benefits of a steel fish - and none of the drawbacks!
It's light, easy to carry, easy to coil and uncoil from its PVC case, and there's no oil or rust to come off on your hands.
Try one today! Like all of our products, there's a 30 Day Moneyback Guarantee.
NOTE: The unique 1/4" by 1/8" fiberglass material, which is why this fish goes straight up or down in the wall, is made in Australia. The price of this fish is now quite a bit higher than it was in the past because of the US dollar losing value to the Australian dollar. We have to pay them more US dollars now, in order for them to get the same value in Australian dollars.

NOODLE FISH CHAIN
The World's Best Fish Chain!
10 feet long! Fish up and down walls. For non-insulated, paper, or foil backed walls.
This fish chain doesn't tangle... It's a special super strong thin ball chain that will slither thru most anything... and then back into its Shirt Pocket Pouch.
To use it, tie the wire on through a small hole at the end of the chain. Then just drop it down the wall (the large ring on the end prevents it from dropping through a 7/8 inch hole in the header), make a 3/8" hole where you want to pull the wire out for the jack, stick the Magnetic Retriever in, and wiggle it around. The Noodle Fish Chain globs onto the magnet and you pull it out of the wall!
If the drywall is mushroomed into the wall, use our 9" Hook Wire (below) to grab the chain off the magnet!

Part # HND7QSCISSORS with STRIPPING NOTCHES
Scissors
with Stripping Notches
The highest quality Phone Man's Scissors we've found!
The edge of the blade is serrated, which keeps the cable or wire(s) from slipping forward out of the Scissors as you try to cut it.
It has two Stripping Notches. One for 24 gauge wire, and one for 22 gauge wire.
The Stripping Notch is the safest way to strip the insulation from telephone wire. It won't put a notch in the wire (like a set of Dikes would), which would cause the wire to break after it was flexed a few times.
To strip a wire, hold your finger over the wire in the notch, and pull the insulation off by moving the Scissors, which holds the insulation - allowing it to slide off the wire.

Part # HND1LWorld's Best Modular 6-8 Pin Crimp Tool - Ratcheting
Ratcheting Crimp Tool Doesn't Release Until Crimp is Complete
Does 6 Pin (RJ-11 Type 2-4-6) & 8 Pin (RJ-45 Type) Mod Plugs
We've tried all the others and this is the only one we can depend on!
Heavy duty metal construction with comfortable hand grips.
The secret is the floating crimper pins which are designed to ALWAYS stay parallel to the pins in the plug! Most crimpers start crimping on an angle at one side of the plug - causing the pins to sometimes get cocked.
We put a
lot of modular plugs on all kinds of
solid wire and flat custom cables in our
production department. We are so confident in these crimp tools that we've made our own Heavy Duty Crimpers using these tools to reduce hand strain for our production workers (we use three of them in our shop). We remove the hand grips and drill and tap one of the handles on the tool to mount it to the custom arbor press. We replace the actual Crimp Tool, which is the same one we stock and you can buy here, about once a year. They do eventually just plain wear out! (Sorry, we don't sell these Heavy Duty Crimpers) |
![]() |
I used to use an expensive AMP crimper that uses expensive replaceable dies which ONLY work with AMP brand plugs (which are hard to find). If someone crimped a regular mod plug (not AMP brand) in the tool, the pins on the soft pot metal die would get bent over and the die would be destroyed.
After throwing away my AMP crimp tool with the replaceable dies I've never had a problem with mod plugs! This is the most dependable crimper you can buy, and does 6 position plugs (2,4 or 6 pins) and 8 position plugs (does not do handset plugs - see our Handset Crimper below).
Suitable for flat silver satin cord and solid wire cable. Includes cutter and stripper for flat wire.

Heavy duty metal construction with comfortable hand grips.
The secret is the floating crimper pins which are designed to ALWAYS stay parallel to the pins in the plug!
8 Pin & 6 Pin on One Side
4 Pin Handset on Other Side
Suitable for flat silver satin type cord and round solid/stranded cable. Includes cutter and stripper for flat wire, and a stripper for round cable:
Strips Correct Amount of Jacket from Round Wire for an RJ45 8 Pin Type Plug!
Use a Scissors Not Dikes to Cut the Cable so the wires have a nice flat end that you can see through the clear connector to make sure they are all the way in.
You'll probably need to cut it flat with scissors after arranging the wires in order, before you insert the wires into the plug.
I find it easier to strip quite a bit of jacket off, arrange the wires, then cut it flat to the correct length with scissors before inserting the wires in the plug.

Part # TOO5GModular Plugs for Flat and Round Wire
On most plugs for Solid Wire, the bottom half of the rectangle where you insert the cable is rounded - like a half moon (not all manufacturers do this, but the ones we carry do). Never use a modular plug with a rectangular entrance on solid wire, since it's only make for stranded or tinsel wire.
Solid Wire Plugs are made to work on the round solid copper wires that are used insides the walls,
and they also work on Stranded/Flat Wire.
It's often faster to crimp a modular plug plug onto the end of the cable that's going to plug into the equipment, rather than put up a jack and use a flat cord to connect to the equipment.
Stranded Wire Plugs are used on flat handset and base cords, which have tinsel or stranded wire. Tinsel wire is a bunch of copper clad ribbons, which is quite flexible compared to stranded or solid copper wire.
Stranded Wire Plugs won't work on solid wire because the points on the pins just put dimples into the tops of the solid copper wire. The pins work their way up and give you an intermittent connection almost immediately. They don't cut into the sides of the wire like plugs made for solid wire do.
Solid Wire Plugs dig into the sizes of copper wire, making a gas tight connection. A gas tight connection means that air can't get between the wire and the metal used for the IDC (Insulation Displacement Connection) terminal, causing oxidation and an eventual intermittent connection.
You will really be sorry if you use flat type stranded plugs on solid copper wire!
They cause hard to find intermittent problems that will cost you more in service calls than you made on the job in the first place... to say nothing of the really upset customer.
If you put the wrong plugs on the cable, the only fix is to go back and crimp the correct plugs on the cable!

Whether you've been doing this for 2 weeks or 20 years...If this is what you do for a living, a few dollars and some time watching our 4 Hour Training Video could save you years of time, and you'll get home in time for dinner!
We show you the fastest and easiest ways to run wire, and a lot more in this 2 Disk Set.
When I started over 30 years ago, I used to feed a fish tape into an insulated wall, figuring that it had to come out eventually? 50 feet later it usually still wasn't out, so I'd try it again. Regular fish tapes are made coiled at the factory, so they coil in the wall as you feed them in - and they usually don't come out where you want them to!
I couldn't believe how fast and easy it was after I learned these techniques!

This is as close as it gets to working with a Journeyman while he builds the frames for four different phone systems - but this Journeyman gives you tons of tips as he goes. An Apprentice can get years of experience building frames... In 6 Hours of Training!
A Training Video is actually better than working with a Journeyman, who's not going to stop and explain stuff to you. If you didn't understand something just hit the REWIND button, and watch it over as many times as you need to.
Grab some cable and blocks, and practice as you watch this Video.
You should be able to go out and install
a phone system after watching this Video!
NOTE: This Video doesn't include programming information, so you'll
have to know how to program the system you install.
4 Phone Systems are Installed:
The customer bought a new fully modular phone system, which we install from scratch.
Then he upgraded to a system with modular jacks for the COs, but an AMP connector (25 pair) for the stations.
Then he upgraded to an Altigen PC based phone system, which uses a special 25 pair connector for both the COs and stations.
Finally, the customer upgrades to a 3Com NBX IP based phone system, where the COs and T1 connect with modular jacks, and the stations connect to a 19" rack mounted Ethernet hub or switch and patch panel, just like PC workstations.
