Abstract
A band cable having a tie through hole which is formed within a head, a stopper which is protrudedly formed on the top surface of the tie through hole, and a tie, on which a plurality of first grooves are formed, which is formed as a unitary body with the head, the band cable including a second groove formed on the lower portion of the tie through hole; and an elastic supporting member whose left and right side surfaces are separated from the inner side surface of the head, thus to move upwardly and downwardly, whereby after the tie is inserted into the tie through hole and is coupled with the head, if the tie coupled with the head is to be released, a user grasps the tie and then presses downwardly it with his thumb, and thereby, as the elastic supporting member is pushed in the downward direction of the second groove, the stopper is easily deviated from the first grooves formed on the tie.
