Black tie wraps do definately hold up longer than regular tie wraps, but
will still give up after several years. Used to use them for Telephone
cables, as well as coax. Wish I remembered the brand name , but if you
Permanent ties, there is a make of METAL- plastic coated ties, that 1) last
forever, and 2), can be reused. Try Greybar Electric , and W.W.
Grainger. Tiewraps are also available in different colors, (they were
used to mark multi -pair telephone cables, in 25 pair bunches), which
are great for clean installs of wireing, in vehicles (blend in with the
vehicle colors), makeing them nearly invisible.

Hi,

Was wondering if anyone has any experience using the "Premium" Thomas &
Betts, Black, "UV-Resistant"
nylon tie wraps out of doors ?

e.g., do they become brittle after a fer years due to very cold temps, or UV
?

Or, do they really hold up well, etc. ?

Thanks,
Bob
