Abstract

A bundling tie for bundling a plurality of elongated members such as wires and cable is presented. The bundling tie is easily detachable by hand and reusable. The bundling tie comprises a flexible strap member which is secured to an anchor member (e.g., cable, wire, tube, etc.) by inserting one end of the strap through a slit in the strap, thereby circumferentially engaging the strap to the anchor. The strap is then wrapped around a bundle of additional elongated members and secured by a hook and loop (VELCRO) attachment.
