Electrical tape can do the same thing if you just pull it to break it off 
instead of cutting it.  Just pulling on it can really cinch it up tight.  73

Relaying info from Belden and other coax manufactures. Don’t use zip ties, 
nylon or other wise and cinch them down tight. Every time you do that it 
changes the impedance by changing the diameter of the shield in relationship 
to the center conductor.
