Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: Are black cable ties stronger than white ones?
A: No, strength is determined by width and material quality, not colour. However, black ties typically have greater UV resistance, making them preferable for outdoor use.

Q2: Can these cable ties be reused?
A: These are single-use, non-releasable cable ties. Once secured, they must be cut for removal. For reusable options, consider releasable cable ties.

Q3: Are these cable ties weatherproof?
A: Yes. The Nylon 66 construction with UV protection makes them suitable for long-term outdoor exposure in rain, sun, or wind.

Q4: What is the maximum bundle diameter these ties can handle?
A: With a 550mm length, these ties can secure bundles up to approximately 160170mm in diameter, depending on the material and fastening tension.

Q5: Can they be used with heat-generating equipment?
A: These ties are safe for use in environments up to 85C, but they are not rated for direct contact with high-temperature elements or open flames.
