Hook and loop cable ties, often called Velcro cable ties, are reusable straps that wrap and release in seconds to keep microphone, guitar and speaker leads coiled and untangled.
About Hook and Loop Cable Ties
Hook and loop cable ties are a reusable cable management solution for every lead in your rig. The hook and loop fastening made famous by the Velcro brand wraps and releases in seconds, and a quality tie can last for years of gigs, sessions and pack-downs, keeping cables organised and untangled in storage and transport.
SWAMP cable ties feature a slit in the head that lets the tie attach around a single strand of cable, so it stays in place while the lead is in use and is ready to loop straight back around the coil at pack-down. The 12cm, 20cm and 30cm lengths suit microphone cables, guitar leads and speaker cables up to 25m in length. Coiling neatly also helps maintain the structure of the copper conductors, extending the life and noise rejection of your leads. Browse our other cable accessories to round out your kit.
Cable Tie FAQs
Are hook and loop ties the same as Velcro cable ties?
Yes. Velcro is a brand name for hook and loop fastening, so the Velcro cable ties most people search for are hook and loop ties. Same wrap-and-press design, fully reusable.
What size cable tie do I need?
Match the tie to the thickness of the coiled cable: 12cm suits short patch leads, while the 20cm and 30cm ties handle longer and thicker coils, covering cables up to 25m. When in doubt, go a size up.
Why use hook and loop ties instead of zip ties?
Zip ties are single use and can pinch the cable jacket when pulled tight. Hook and loop ties are reusable for years, wrap firmly without crushing the cable, and stay attached to the lead so they never go missing.
