Zipper-Technik offers the original Zipper tubing system for enclosing, managing and protecting cables and bundles of wire.
These cable cotainment systems come in a variety of locking techniques: Z, N, D, F and R-Tracks, Press-Stud, Hook & Loop, and A and Nt-Tracks; which suit different applications.
The GP series is a high-quality, tough, flexible PVC tubing that is reliable for most applications. It is easily modified for breakouts and branches. It comes in many sizes with or without overlap, and it is available as flat or round cable. The GPs/63 is a very flexible, lightweight, all-round Zip-on PVC tubing for routine organising of cable bundles. For tough conditions there is the VNL - a flame-retardant PVC laminated to both sides of a polyester cloth. It has a rugged jacket, is extremely flexible and lightweight. The VNH, VNH/ST, and VNX are toughly-jacketed and have high tensile strength. The vinyl-impregnated cloth is for use where wires and cables are exposed to abuse, abrasion, and where shear strength is important. Braided tube and halogen-free types are also available.
Zipper-Technik also manufactures a range of EMI-shielded versions for frequency attenuations through the range 10 MHz to 20 GHz

A cordless ESD (Electrostatic Discharge) wrist strap does not work by grounding the person in the same way as a traditional wired wrist strap. Instead, it works by reducing or balancing the static charge on your body so that you are less likely to discharge electricity into sensitive electronic components.
