Thomas Betts TY28M Standard Cable Tie 50 Lb 14.2 in

Product Description

The THOMAS BETTS TY28M is a standard-duty nylon cable tie designed for bundling and securing wire and cable runs in electrical, HVAC, and general trade applications. Measuring 14.2 inches in overall length with a 0.19-inch width and 0.05-inch thickness, this tie delivers a rated tensile strength of 50 pounds. The natural (off-white) nylon construction handles a wide operating temperature range from -40 degrees F to 185 degrees F, making it suitable for both indoor panel work and moderate-temperature mechanical environments. Licensed electricians, HVAC installers, and low-voltage technicians are the primary installers.

The TY28M accommodates bundle diameters up to 4 inches, covering a broad range of wire harness and conduit bundle sizes found in residential and light commercial electrical panels, mechanical rooms, and equipment cabinets. Its standard one-piece design allows for fast, tool-optional installation in high-volume wiring tasks. Each package contains 1,000 ties, making it well suited for contractors who need a reliable bulk supply on the job or at the shop.

Installation Notes

Cable ties are installed by electricians, HVAC technicians, and low-voltage contractors as part of wire management during rough-in and finish work. De-energize circuits before securing ties near live conductors, following applicable NEC requirements for wire bundling and fill. Ties should be seated and tensioned by hand or with a standard cable tie installation tool, then trimmed flush at the locking head to avoid sharp exposed tails. Do not over-cinch ties on jacketed conductors in a way that deforms the insulation.
