I was at a design show yesterday, and visited the Panduit booth. Panduit, for those of you who do not know, sells the most 'Cable Ties' in the world. They have 65% of the market.

According to a dude named Kent at the booth, they should officially be called 'Cable Ties'. I asked him what the heck a 'Bar-Lock' was, and he replied that a 'Barb-lock' was a cable tie that had a metal tooth instead of a plastic one.

Since Panduit controls the market share of the cable tie industry, I say that the official name is 'Cable Tie'.

So, those of you who are dallying over on the 'Tie-Wrap' team... come over to the 'Cable Tie' team. You're close, but not quite correct. For you rebels on the 'Bar-Lock' team... there is no hope for you. You are evil.

On a side note... Kent also said that Delphi is their biggest customer. I guess we make alot of cables.
