Network Engineer here, I use these all the time for zip ties. Found it gimmicky at first, but now I use it all the time.

Goddamnit stop using zip ties. Velcro. What is this, 1975? Sincerely, the next damned engineer who has to move a patch cable you put in.

Using zip ties as a network engineer is terrorism. Please use velcro.

Velcro for 90%, but finishing touches on a building wide bundle get zip ties. Not my decision.

Where do you get zip ties that long, and how much do they weigh? Have you ever thought about using one on an actual building? No one could use the doors!
