An Evaluation of Cable Lacing Material to Select a Single Type for Use on Wire Bundles

A method to assist in the selection of a material for cable lacing bundles is discussed. Heretofore little work has been published evaluating cable lacings, and opinions vary widely as to the proper material to use. This paper is intended to help resolve some of these opinions by presenting the results of an experiment performed at our plant. Five rolls of twine and tape were evaluated to determine which material (base material and coating) would best serve our requirements.
