Technical Parameters

In modern supply chains, losses are rarely caused by forced entry.More often, goods are accessed during transit, inspection or temporary storage and then resealed before arriving at their destination.

Disposable Adjustable Cable Seals are designed to make unauthorized access immediately visible.
Once the cable is inserted and tightened, the seal becomes permanently locked and can only be removed by cutting the cable. Any opening event leaves irreversible evidence that can be verified during handover, customs inspection or final delivery.
This simple principle makes cable seals one of the most widely used security devices for transport, utilities, fuel distribution and asset management.

One-Way Locking Prevents Reuse

 

The security performance of a cable seal depends primarily on its locking mechanism.
Inside the seal body, hardened metal locking components grip the cable in one direction only.
Once engaged, the cable can continue tightening but cannot move backward.
This prevents the seal from being opened and reused after access has occurred.
For transport operators and distributors, this provides a simple and reliable chain-of-custody record without requiring keys or additional equipment.

Non-Preformed Cable Provides Visible Tamper Evidence

 

Not all cable constructions provide the same level of tamper indication.
Our seals use non-preformed galvanized steel cable.
When the cable is cut, the individual strands immediately separate and flare outward rather than remaining tightly bundled together.
Because of this, the cut cable cannot realistically be inserted back into the locking chamber to imitate an intact seal.
This characteristic allows inspectors to identify interference quickly without specialist training or inspection tools.

Laser Marking Supports Full Traceability

 

For many users, the serial number is more important than the seal itself.
Seal numbers are recorded during dispatch and verified again during receipt.
Any mismatch immediately indicates where an investigation should begin.
Each seal can be permanently laser marked with:

Sequential serial numbers

Customer logos

Barcodes

QR codes

Custom text

Unlike ink printing, laser marking permanently changes the surface material and remains legible after prolonged exposure to sunlight, moisture and handling.

No Tools Required for Installation

 

The pull-tight design allows fast installation in high-volume operations.
Step 1
Pass the cable through the locking points on the door, valve, latch or equipment being secured.
Step 2
Insert the free cable end into the seal body.
Step 3
Pull the cable until the desired loop size is reached.
The seal locks automatically during tightening.
Removal requires cable cutters, ensuring that opening events cannot occur unnoticed.

FAQ

Q: Can the seal be reused after opening?

A: No.
The locking mechanism is designed for single use only. Once the cable has been tightened, the seal can only be removed by cutting the cable.

Q: Can a cut cable be inserted back into the seal body?

A: The use of non-preformed cable makes resealing attempts highly visible because the cable strands separate immediately after cutting.

Q: Can serial numbers be duplicated?

A: Our serialization system is managed through production records to prevent duplicate numbering within active manufacturing batches.
Additional serialization controls can be implemented for long-term OEM projects.

Q: Can logos and barcodes be customized?

A: Yes.
We support custom logos, serial formats, barcodes, QR codes and private label packaging.

Q: What cable lengths are available?

A: Standard lengths are available for most applications, while custom cable lengths can be produced according to project requirements.

Q: Are these seals suitable for shipping containers?

A: Cable seals are commonly used for container doors and intermodal transport equipment.
The required cable diameter and seal classification should be selected according to local customs regulations and security requirements.
