Thomas Betts TY5242MX Standard Cable Tie 8.19in Black Nylon

Product Description

The THOMAS BETTS TY5242MX is a standard nylon cable tie designed for bundling and securing wire harnesses, conduit runs, and cable assemblies in electrical and low-voltage installations. At 8.19 inches in length with a 40-pound tensile strength, this tie handles medium-duty bundling tasks without excess bulk. The black nylon construction provides UV resistance and weather resistance, making it suitable for both indoor panels and outdoor or exposed applications. Electrical contractors, HVAC technicians, and panel builders use this tie where a reliable, rated fastener is required in place of generic alternatives. Each package contains 100 ties.

The TY5242MX is appropriate for residential and commercial electrical work, HVAC control wiring, low-voltage data runs, and general panel dressing. The 2-inch maximum bundle diameter accommodates medium wire bundles and conduit clusters. The operating temperature range of -40 degrees F to 185 degrees F covers most field conditions, including attic spaces, outdoor enclosures, and cold-climate installs. CSA Certified and UL Recognized status makes this tie appropriate where listed components are specified by inspection or contract.

Installation Notes

Installation requires no tools beyond a standard cable tie tensioning gun for uniform cinch and flush cut, though hand installation is common in panel work. Follow NEC guidelines for cable tie placement and spacing in bundled conductor applications. Do not overtighten on insulated conductors in a way that deforms insulation. Ties are single-use and should be cut and replaced rather than reopened.
