Thomas & Betts 18 in 120 lb UV Cable Ties 50-Pack

Thomas & Betts TY5275MX is an 18-inch, 120 lb tensile-strength, UV-stabilized nylon cable tie with a stainless steel locking device, sold in a 50-count distributor pack for indoor and outdoor bundling tasks.

This heavy-duty bundle of cable ties combines Nylon 6/6 durability with ultraviolet stabilizers and a stainless steel lock for reliable long-term retention. Engineered to perform in fluctuating temperatures from -40°F to 185°F, these black ties resist weathering and are suited to both professional electrical installations and general-purpose fastening where sunlight exposure or high retention force is a concern.

How strong and weather-resistant are these cable ties?

Each TY5275MX tie is rated for a 120-pound tensile strength and formulated with UV stabilizers that slow degradation from sunlight. The nylon material meets UL 94 V-2 flammability standards and retains flexibility across a wide temperature range, making it suitable for many demanding environments.

• 120 lb tensile rating for heavy bundling
• UV-stabilized black Nylon 6/6 for outdoor exposure
• Temperature range: -40°F to 185°F
• UL 94 V-2 flammability classification

What design features make installation easier and more reliable?

These ties use a one-piece molded body with a low-profile head and a curved tip to reduce threading resistance and prevent snagging. The stainless steel locking device secures tension and minimizes slippage, while the smooth body is less stress-sensitive than notched designs, offering consistent performance with lower installation force.

• Curved tip for fast, easy threading
• Low-profile head that won’t catch on components
• Stainless steel lock for maintained tension
• Smooth molded body for reduced stress concentration

Where are these cable ties best used and what applications suit them?

TY5275MX ties are versatile for electrical, construction, and outdoor applications where sunlight and weather exposure can shorten the life of standard ties. Use them for securing conduit, wiring bundles, HVAC lines, signage, temporary fencing, and other installations that require strong, UV-resistant retention.

• Electrical panel and wire bundling
• Outdoor conduit and weather-exposed installations
• HVAC and mechanical fastening applications
• Temporary or permanent utility and construction uses

How do these ties compare to small or notched alternatives?

Compared with miniature or notched cable ties, the TY5275MX balances high tensile strength with a smooth, stress-distributing body that reduces breakage risk under load. The stainless steel locking device offers superior retention versus purely plastic locks, and the longer 18" length handles larger bundles without cutting multiple ties together.

• Longer 18" length for larger bundles
• Smooth body reduces failure points seen in notched ties
• Stainless steel lock improves slippage resistance
• Lower installation threading force than comparable one-piece ties

Who is this for: Installers, contractors, facility managers, and DIYers who need heavy-duty, UV-resistant cable management will find this 50-pack ideal. It suits professionals who require dependable tension retention and weather resistance for outdoor or high-stress jobs, as well as anyone looking for a durable, long-lasting fastening solution for cables, hoses, and small-diameter pipe runs.
