As a general rule, plastic flanges They are widely used when compiling a PC, because they are very cheap and easy to find. On the contrary, i cloth or velcro flanges They are somewhat expensive (although they are plentiful) but have the potential to be recycled, unlike the plastic that will be used and disposed of (in other words, when we want to remove them, it is normal to cut them out and go straight to the trash)
Benefits of Plastic Flanges
- The main advantage of this type of flange is, of course, its price, because at any hardware store we can buy packs of 100 units for more than one euro.
- They are highly resistant to constipation.
- They are easily cut with pliers.
- Its size allows them to move them almost anywhere, especially in the PC case.
Benefits of fabric wrapping
- They can be used again, especially those with velcro.
- Visually they look better.
- They put less pressure on the fibers, so they avoid the differences.
- They are small in size, so they are especially useful in small boxes.
Now what kind of flange is better for installing a PC?
Usually almost all of us want plastic flats because they are the ones we have the most (in fact, most boxes and generators come with some additions among their accessories that we should use when building a PC, even though some electrical appliances), but if we can choose and Not only do the PC look good, but it has improved over time, we have to use cloth diapers.
Take a look at the example in the picture below, with a nice duct of cord but where you can see that the coal is very tight, which damages the wires over time. In addition, the head of this type of flange must be cut so that it does not fall out and, however, the headache is constant By itself it is annoying.
The main reason is that if we use plastic rays, if we press too much or make too much twisted cables, these cables will get damaged, and we even damaging them if we tighten the flange too much. This is not possible with textiles, because they have a small amount flexibility lack of plastic, which will provide extra delays to the wires and not leave them marked or deformed. In addition, even though we have to spend money to buy it, in the end we need to give it out regularly we can use them again.
You already know: our decision is that if possible, always use cloth or velcro straps (or even rubber failures) before plastic.
