Ancor Cable Ties & Mounts

Ancor Cable Ties & Mounts: Marine-Grade Wire Management Built for the Sea

When it comes to securing wiring aboard a vessel, not just any cable tie will do. Salt spray, UV radiation, fuel vapors, and constant vibration can quickly turn a standard plastic zip tie into a cracked, brittle failure point. That's why serious mariners turn to Ancor — the brand that has defined marine-grade electrical products for over four decades.

Cable ties and mounts are among the most detail-oriented products in Ancor's extensive lineup, and they reflect the same uncompromising engineering philosophy that made the brand famous. Every Ancor cable tie is manufactured from pure virgin nylon 6/6 — a material that is insoluble in common solvents, alkalis, dilute mineral acids, and most organic acids or petrochemicals. That means the same ties holding your wiring harness today will still be doing their job after seasons of exposure to bilge water, fuel, and sunlight.

The DoubleLock Advantage

One of the most notable features in Ancor's cable tie lineup is the patented DoubleLock design. This locking mechanism delivers tensile strength that is 33 percent stronger than the industry standard cable tie — a meaningful difference when you're relying on these components to keep wiring bundles secured through rough offshore conditions. Whether you're running wire through the engine room or organizing DC circuits in the cabin, that extra holding power matters.

Ancor also offers self-cutting mounting cable ties that include an integrated stainless steel blade, allowing installers to lock and trim in a single step without needing additional tools — a practical detail that professional marine electricians appreciate.

Versatile Mounting Solutions

Ancor's cable tie mounts are engineered to pair directly with their ties, creating a complete wire management system. The adhesive-lined mounting bases feature a 2-way fastening design — attaching via a strong adhesive backing or a center screw for extra holding power. Cable ties can be inserted in four different directions, giving installers maximum flexibility when routing bundles through tight or awkward spaces.

Self-adhesive bases can be attached to metal, plastic, glass, and other clean surfaces, making them ideal in situations where drilling is impractical. Four-way, low-profile bases are also available for installations where height clearance is limited. Screw-mount versions accept #8 and #10 hardware and are rated to hold considerable loads.

Standards That Matter Offshore

All Ancor cable ties and mounts are resistant to oil, gasoline, and water and are rated for use within the ABYC-specified temperature range. Ancor designs its entire product ecosystem — from wire and terminals to these cable management accessories — to meet UL, ABYC, NMMA, and USCG standards. That level of compliance isn't incidental; it's the reason Ancor has been the trusted choice of professional marine electricians and boatbuilders since 1978.

Whether you're completing a full rewire or simply tidying up a cable run, Ancor's cable ties and mounts ensure every bundle stays where you put it — no matter what the water throws at your boat.
