Thomas Betts TYS6-280 Stainless Steel Cable Tie 6in Black

Product Description

The THOMAS BETTS TYS6-280 is a standard-duty stainless steel cable tie designed for securing wire bundles and cable runs in demanding environments. At 6 inches in overall length and 0.28 inches wide, it delivers a rated tensile strength of 250 lb, making it suitable for high-load bundling applications. The black stainless steel construction provides resistance to chemicals, corrosion, and weathering, giving it a service life well beyond standard nylon ties in harsh or outdoor environments. Electrical contractors, HVAC technicians, and industrial maintenance trades use this style of tie where nylon would degrade from UV exposure, heat, or chemical contact.

This cable tie is suited for both residential and commercial applications where environmental exposure is a concern. Typical install scenarios include outdoor conduit bundling, rooftop HVAC equipment wire management, industrial enclosure cable dressing, and marine or chemical-plant service runs. The maximum bundle diameter of 1.9 inches accommodates most standard conduit and multi-cable groupings encountered in field work. Sold individually, it is appropriate for spot repairs or low-quantity service calls as well as larger installations.

Installation Notes

Stainless steel cable ties are typically installed by electricians, HVAC technicians, or industrial maintenance trades using a standard cable-tie tensioning and cut-off tool rated for metal strap. De-energize any circuits in the work area before dressing wire bundles in electrical enclosures or panels. Cut tails flush after tensioning to avoid sharp edges that could damage insulation or create a safety hazard. Follow applicable NEC or local code requirements when securing conductors in electrical installations.
