Abstract: There is provided a cable tie which incorporates a cushioning means which also functions as a retaining means. The cable tie comprises a housing and a strap. The strap can be separate from or integral with the housing. When the free end of the strap is assembled within the housing, a plurality of angularly extending fins maintains the integrity of the assembled components. A second plurality of longitudinal fins extend angularly from the inside circumference of the assembled clamp. The resiliency of the fins provides a cushioning to the device encircled by the strap. In addition the second plurality of longitudinally extending fins provide a resistance means to the sliding of the cable tie in a direction along a vehicle bracket or other member to which the cable tie is attached or to the longitudinal movement of the wiring harness within the cable tie itself.
