Nsi Industries 8400-sb Cable Tie 8 Inch 40 Lb Steel Barb Uv

Product Description

The NSI INDUSTRIES 8400-sb is a UV-resistant black nylon cable tie engineered for secure wire bundling in demanding indoor and outdoor environments. Built from Nylon 66 with a stainless steel locking barb, this tie delivers 40 pounds of tensile strength and maintains performance across a wide temperature range of -40 to 185 degrees F. At 8 inches in length and 0.14 inches in width, it accommodates bundles up to 2.125 inches in diameter. Electricians, automotive technicians, and general tradespeople rely on it for dependable, long-lasting wire management where UV degradation and mechanical pull-out are primary concerns.

This cable tie is suited for residential, commercial, and light industrial applications where outdoor exposure, vibration, or high UV index would degrade standard nylon ties. Common uses include securing wire harnesses in automotive engine compartments, bundling conduit drops on exterior electrical installations, and organizing cables on rooftop HVAC equipment. The steel barb locking mechanism provides a more secure hold than standard self-locking nylon pawls, making it appropriate for higher-vibration or higher-tension bundling scenarios.

Key Features

• Steel barb locking mechanism for superior pull-out resistance compared to standard nylon pawl designs
• UV-resistant black Nylon 66 construction rated for outdoor and direct-sunlight exposure
• 40-pound tensile strength for secure bundling of heavier wire harnesses and cable groups
• Wide operating temperature range of -40 to 185 degrees F for both cold-climate and high-heat environments
• Accommodates bundle diameters up to 2.125 inches
• 8-inch length with 0.14-inch width and 0.049-inch thickness for standard trade applications

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose cable tie for electrical, automotive, and wire management applications requiring UV resistance and enhanced locking strength.

Installation Notes

Cable ties of this type are installed by hand or with a cable tie tensioning tool to achieve consistent pull force and flush cut. Power down or de-energize any circuit before securing ties around live wire bundles per NEC guidelines. Avoid over-tensioning, which can damage wire insulation or conductor jackets. Trim the excess tail flush with the locking head after installation to eliminate sharp protrusions.
