Abstract
A cable tie wrap for bundling cable includes a coupling body and an elastic cord defining a loop attached to a cord connection end of the coupling body. The coupling body includes a projection formed on an outer surface thereof for removably hooking the loop defined by the cord to the coupling body. The projection includes an annular groove and a retaining lip formed thereon for removably nesting the elastic cord therein. The coupling body may further include at least one cord retention rib formed on the outer surface thereof for preventing the cord from slipping off the outer surface of the body. The tie wrap further preferably includes means for attaching the tie wrap to a cord to be bundled so that the tie wrap is not misplaced when not in use. A method for securing a bundle of cables generally includes the steps of gathering a bundle of cable together, wrapping the elastic cord around the bundle of cable and hooking the loop defined at one end of the cord to the projection of the coupling body to form a band around the bundle of cable thereby securing the bundled cable.
