Panduit HLS-75R2 Tak-Ty Hook & Loop Strip Roll Cable Tie, Red, 75 ft
Overview
The Panduit HLS-75R2 is a 75-foot (22.9m) roll of Tak-Ty® hook and loop strip cable tie in red — a field-proven choice for wire routing and cable management in structured cabling environments where controlling bundle tension matters. At 0.75 inches (19.1mm) wide with a nylon loop face and polyethylene hook face, it delivers a secure wrap that won't bite into the jacket of sensitive Category 6A or fiber runs the way traditional zip ties can. Red coloring makes it easy to call out specific cable groups — power, alarm, or high-priority data circuits — without labeling every tie individually.
Panduit designed the Tak-Ty® line specifically for high-performance network cables where over-tensioning is a real degradation risk. The HLS-75R2 (often searched as HLS 75R2) ships as a single 75-foot roll; cartons pack 10 rolls for stocking a larger project or service inventory.

Key Features
- 75 ft (900 in / 22.9m) continuous roll: Cut to any length in the field — no pre-cut size restrictions. One roll handles a full rack column of cable drops without a resupply trip, which matters on a live cutover when time is money.
- 0.75 in (19.1mm) width: Wide enough to distribute clamping force across a cable bundle, reducing point pressure that causes jacket deformation on Cat6A and plenum-rated runs. Narrower ties concentrate load; this width spreads it.
- Nylon loop / polyethylene hook construction: The material pairing gives you a reusable, repositionable wrap. Dress a bundle, route it, then adjust when the next phase of work changes the tray layout — without cutting and replacing every tie. Pairs well with patch panels during phased cabling projects.
- Red color coding: Visually segment cable types or circuit priority tiers inside a cabinet or tray. When a technician opens a panel six months after installation, red ties call out the high-priority or power-adjacent runs immediately — no guesswork.
- RoHS compliant: Meets the Restriction of Hazardous Substances directive, which satisfies procurement requirements for projects in the EU and for enterprise clients with environmental compliance mandates. Required on many government and healthcare contracts.
- Designed for network cable protection: Panduit specifically rates the Tak-Ty® series for high-performance network cables. The hook-and-loop mechanism eliminates the over-tensioning risk that a ratcheted zip tie presents on structured cabling — a factor that shows up in TIA-568 installation best-practices guidance.
Integration & Compatibility
The HLS-75R2 works with any round or flat cable bundle where a 0.75-inch-wide wrap is appropriate. It is particularly well-suited to Category 5e through Category 6A copper, multimode and singlemode fiber jumpers, and low-voltage control wiring in security and access control panels. The roll format integrates into standard cable management workflow alongside Panduit duct, raceway, and patch panel systems. No special tools required — cut with standard scissors or cable shears.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What are the exact dimensions of the HLS-75R2 strip?
A: The HLS-75R2 roll is 75 feet (22.9m / 900 inches) long and 0.75 inches (19.1mm) wide.
Q: Can the HLS-75R2 be reused after installation?
A: Yes. The hook and loop construction allows the tie to be unfastened and repositioned without cutting, making it suitable for staged installations or moves-adds-changes.
Q: What materials are used in the HLS-75R2?
A: The loop face is nylon; the hook face is polyethylene. Both materials are RoHS compliant.
Q: Is the HLS-75R2 appropriate for outdoor or plenum use?
A: The evidence does not specify a plenum or outdoor rating for the HLS-75R2. Confirm with Panduit documentation before specifying for those environments.
Q: How many rolls come in a carton?
A: Cartons contain 10 rolls. The HLS-75R2 is sold individually (package quantity: 1).
Q: Is the HLS-75R2 RoHS compliant?
A: Yes. The HLS-75R2 meets RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) requirements.
The HLS-75R2 is the roll format I reach for when a project has a significant run of Cat6A or fiber that needs dressing without introducing jacket damage risk. At 0.75 inches wide and 75 feet per roll, you have enough material to dress an entire IDF worth of patch cords without breaking stride, and the nylon/polyethylene hook-loop pair means nothing gets cinched down permanently during rough-in — you can go back and adjust before final termination.
Technical Highlights:
- Roll length (75 ft / 22.9m): Enough to handle a full rack column of cable bundles on a single roll — avoids mid-job resupply and keeps material cost predictable at the per-roll level.
- 0.75 in (19.1mm) width: Distributes wrap force across the bundle cross-section rather than concentrating it at a narrow band — the relevant spec when you're bundling high-performance copper where jacket deformation can push insertion loss out of spec.
- RoHS compliance: Meets hazardous substance requirements out of the box — no procurement exception needed for EU-regulated or enterprise-sustainability-mandated projects.
Deployment Considerations:
- Red is useful for circuit segregation inside a cabinet — designate it for power-adjacent or alarm wiring so any technician opening the panel later can immediately identify those runs without a label reader.
- No plenum or outdoor rating is documented in the available evidence for the HLS-75R2 — if the installation is in a plenum air space or exposed exterior run, verify the environmental rating with Panduit before specifying this SKU.
The HLS-75R2 is the right pick for structured cabling installation in commercial IDF/MDF rooms and security equipment racks where cable dressing needs to be clean, repositionable, and color-coded by circuit type — particularly on phased projects where bundles get adjusted between rough-in and final dress.
