What is the width of the cable tie?

Troubleshooting
Cable tie won't lock
Ensure the pointed end is fully inserted into the locking head and that there are no obstructions. Check if the tie has been overtightened or damaged previously.
Cable tie breaks when tightening
The tie may be old or have been exposed to UV light or extreme temperatures. Ensure you are using the correct size tie for the bundle's diameter. Use a new cable tie.
Tie is too short
This size tie (165mm) is suitable for medium bundles. For larger bundles, consider a longer cable tie variant. You may need to use multiple ties for very large or irregularly shaped bundles.
