Panduit STS2 Cable Tie Installation Tool

Product Description

The PANDUIT STS2 is a cable tie installation tool designed to apply and tension nylon cable ties consistently and cut off the excess tail cleanly. The tool controls tension applied to each tie, helping technicians achieve repeatable results across large wire bundle jobs. Electricians and low-voltage installers use this type of tool to reduce hand fatigue during high-volume tie installations. The STS2 is a hand-operated tensioning and cut-off tool suited for standard-width cable tie applications in panel wiring, conduit staging, and cable management work.

The STS2 is used in residential and commercial electrical installations, control panel assembly, data center cable management, and industrial wiring applications. It is appropriate for any job where uniform cable tie tension and a flush tail cut are required. Electricians, automation technicians, and low-voltage installers commonly use this tool during rough-in and finish wiring stages.

Key Features

• Tensions and cuts cable ties in a single operation
• Controlled tensioning mechanism reduces over-tightening and bundle damage
• Flush tail cut eliminates sharp edges on finished bundles
• Hand-operated design requires no power source
• Reduces hand fatigue during high-volume cable tie installation

Compatibility

Designed for use with standard nylon cable ties compatible with hand-operated tensioning and cut-off tools of this type. Refer to PANDUIT documentation for specific tie width and thickness compatibility ranges.

Installation Notes

No electrical shutoff is required for this hand tool. Ensure the cable tie is properly seated in the tool head before tensioning to avoid mis-cuts or uneven tension. Follow applicable codes such as NEC guidelines for cable bundling and support spacing when applying ties in electrical enclosures or raceways. Inspect the cut-off blade periodically and replace the tool if the blade no longer produces a clean, flush cut.
