TetherTies Adapter Ties Cable Locks for Dongles & Adapters

TetherTies are pre-assembled, tamper-resistant steel cable adapter ties designed to lock dongles, power bricks, and small tools in place to prevent loss or theft.

Small electronics and adapters disappear easily in busy offices, classrooms, and trade-show booths. TetherTies provides a low-profile, American-made solution: a stainless steel cable with a nylon coating that slides, crimps, and secures in seconds. The unit ships fully assembled and includes a crimping tool so you can permanently fasten adapters, dongles, or small tools without extra parts or complicated instructions.

How quickly can I secure an adapter or dongle?

Installation is built for speed. Place the cable around the item, slide it to snug the loop, and use the included crimping tool to lock the cable. Most installs take 15 seconds or less and require no additional hardware.

• Pre-assembled cable saves setup time
• Included crimping tool for immediate installation
• One-person operation, no screws or adhesives
• Permanently fastens with a single crimp

What level of strength and security do TetherTies offer?

TetherTies are built with a 110 lb break strength rating and a tamper-resistant end fitting to deter opportunistic theft or accidental loss. The combination of stainless steel core and nylon coating resists common wear while remaining flexible for routing and storage. While not intended as a high-security lock for valuables, they significantly reduce the chance of misplacement and casual removal.

• 110 lb rated stainless steel cable core
• Tamper-resistant crimped termination
• Nylon coating protects device surfaces from scratches
• Designed for theft deterrence and loss prevention

Will these work with different devices and in what environments?

TetherTies suit a wide range of small electronics: power bricks, USB dongles, adapters, security keys, and hand tools. The flexible loop conforms around irregular shapes and fits ports, handles, or bundled cords. They perform well in offices, classrooms, workshops, retail counters, and event booths where minimizing replacement costs and downtime matters.

• Fits adapters, dongles, chargers, and small tools
• Flexible nylon-coated cable for irregular shapes
• American-made materials for indoor and sheltered outdoor use
• Low-visibility, minimalist profile for professional setups

How do I maintain or remove a TetherTie if needed?

Because TetherTies are designed for permanent installation after crimping, removal requires cutting the cable with wire cutters. If you prefer a non-permanent option, install without crimping to allow reuse. Regular inspection is recommended to ensure crimps remain tight and the coating is intact.

• Permanent removal with wire cutters after crimping
• Non-permanent use possible by skipping final crimp
• Inspect crimps and coating periodically for wear
• Store spare ties and crimp tool for future installs

Who is this for: TetherTies are aimed at IT managers, educators, retail staff, event coordinators, and anyone who must keep multiple small electronics and adapters organized and secured. If you want a fast, affordable way to reduce replacement costs and limit accidental loss without bulky hardware, these pre-assembled steel cable ties are a practical addition to your toolkit.
