Overview
The Thomas Betts TY5253M cable ties are precision-engineered Ty-Rap standard cable fasteners designed for reliable bundling and securing of wire and cable. These non-releasable nylon 6/6 ties measure 11.6″ in length with 0.19″ width and provide 50 pounds of tensile strength. Packed 100 per bag, they deliver consistent performance in maintenance, assembly, and troubleshooting work across electrical and communications infrastructure.
Key Features
- Low-profile head prevents snags on uneven surfaces and simplifies pulling through bulkheads; non-magnetic stainless steel locking device ensures maximum strength and consistent tightness
- Infinite locking positions via infinitely-adjustable design; no-slip tail provides easy grip during tensioning
- Smooth, notchless body reduces stress concentration points under tension, making the tie stronger and lower-profile than notched alternatives
- Rounded edges protect insulation and prevent sharp edges from damaging cables
- One-piece construction for consistent performance; UL 94 V-2 flammability rating; lowest threading force of any one-piece cable tie
- RoHS compliant
