Abstract
A cable tie for securing a connector to a cable of a harness, the connector having a pair of rails which together form a track therebetween. The cable tie comprises an elongated flexible strap having a first end and a second end. A locking head is integrally formed on the first end of the strap and is adapted to cooperate with the strap to form a loop 22 around the cable. The cable tie further comprises a fastener coupled to the strap which is sized and shaped to slide into the track formed in the connector. In one embodiment, the fastener of the cable tie is integrally formed on the strap. In another embodiment, the fastener of the cable tie and the strap are two separate pieces, thereby enabling the fastener to slide along the strap.
