Overview
The Thomas Betts TY5253M is a professional-grade standard cable tie engineered for secure wire and cable bundling. Made of nylon 6/6, these Ty-Rap ties feature a non-releasable design with 50 pounds tensile strength and accommodate maximum wire bundles up to 3 inches. The low profile head prevents snags on uneven surfaces and is easier to pull through bulkheads, with a non-magnetic stainless steel locking device that ensures maximum strength and correct tightness.
Key Features
- Infinite number of locking positions with notch-free design for fastening at precise bundle diameters
- Smooth, notchless body reduces stress concentration points under tension, making the tie stronger and lower profile than notched ties
- No-slip tail provides easy grip during tensioning
- Ribbed body grips the bundle and prevents slippage
- Rounded edges protect insulation and prevent sharp edges from damaging cables
- Flammability rating UL 94 V-2 with one-piece construction for consistent performance
