I recently bought a 6 foot lightning cable made by Anker. They are now supplied with a useful tie. IOt's sort of like Velcro but one side is smooth and the other fuzzy. Ring car battery chargers also use a similar but much longer tie. They would be very useful as cable ties but are much simpler to undo. Does anybody know which company makes them?

There are various companies that manufacture hook and loop fasteners, one well-known brand is Velcro Companies.

It's not a hook and loop and I don't think it's made by Velcro.

Check your particular Amazon country site for the same thing.
