Abstract
A locator tie for use in securing a cable to a wall having an aperture, the cable including a tubular sheath having longitudinally spaced apart annular grooves on the outer surface thereof. The locator tie includes a fastener and a cable tie, the cable tie being integrally formed with the fastener. The fastener includes an arrowhead mounted on a support and surrounded by a spring-biased basket. The cable tie includes a strap having an inner surface and an outer surface and includes a head portion and a tail portion. The fastener is disposed between the head portion and the tail portion of the strap. The head portion of the strap includes a longitudinal rib located near the basket receivable in an annular groove when the strap is wrapped around a cable to prevent movement of the cable reactive the strap. The rib is shaped to include three pairs of inwardly tapered sidewalls which enable the cable tie to be secured against movement with a variety of tubular sheath sizes.
