Coiled Cable and
Straight Cable Options

Coiled Cable and, Straight Cable Options
This page is designed to let you create your own coiled and straight security cables. It evolved as we added more tabs and ends to our remote control cables.

These coiled cables are offered with three different security tabs which provide you a variety of options for securing many of the new PC cards now on the market.

Our new large tabs (3/4" x 2") work with audience response cards and can be either permanent (BS) or temporary (BA), depending on your requirements. The large tab is shown on our coiled 5 foot cable with a loop on the other cable end.

The medium tabs (3/4" x 1") have been effective at preventing loss of air cards and remote controls. These too can be mounted permanently (MS) or can be removable (MA). The medium tab is shown on our coiled 5 foot cable with a medium tab on the other cable end.

For temporary security, please see our removeable anchors.

Our original small tabs (1/2" x 1/2") continue to work well on remote controls, on equipment with curved surfaces, and in restricted small areas where larger tabs won't fit. These tabs are intended for permanent mountings. Part # "T"


Rather than listing all the possible cable and tab combinations,
you can create your own cable by ordering the cable size from Table 1 below,
then one tab or end, plus the other tab or end from Tables 2 & 3 below.


For example, if you need five of the 5 ft coiled cables with large self-adhesive tabs on one end and a screw eye on the other end you would order the following:

   CC5     Cables         5 @ $3.50 = $17.50
   BA        Tabs           5 @ $3.00 = $15.00
   SO    Screw Eyes    5 @ $1.00 = $  5.00      Total is $37.50

If you also need 10 2-ft coiled cables with small tabs on both ends you would then order these items:

   CC2   Cables     10 @ $2.00 = $20.00
   T               Tab   10 @ $  .50 = $  5.00
   T               Tab   10 @ $  .50 = $  5.00      Total is $30.00

You also need 1 GT2 glue for the tabs @ $3.00

Tabs - Table 2

Tabs T, MS, MA, BS, BA

Tabs - Table 2

You can use any of these tabs on either end of your cable. You need to "Add to Cart" at least two tabs or ends from this table or the next table to complete the cable you've selected above.

These larger aluminum tabs replace our regular 1" x 2" black nylon tabs for custom assemblies, since those tabs are only available pre-attached to the CC2, CC5, or CC10 coiled cables. The end on this tab gives it a height of 1/2 inch, and it will be attached with a small loop on the cable end.

Be sure to include 1 GT2 glue for every 50 small or medium superglue tabs.
1 GT2 glue will also cover 25 of the large superglue tabs.
