Frequently asked questions
What is a UV Shield (solar-grade) cable tie used for?
UV Shield cable ties are built for long-term outdoor exposure, especially solar panel installations, outdoor lighting and signage, marine applications, and external HVAC systems where years of direct sun exposure would degrade a standard nylon cable tie.
What material are UV Shield cable ties made from, and why Nylon 12?
UV Shield cable ties are made from Nylon 12 infused with carbon black, which offers greater flexibility and UV degradation resistance than the Nylon 6/6 used in standard cable ties, making it the standard material for long-term solar tie performance.
What temperature range can UV Shield solar cable ties withstand?
UV Shield solar-grade cable ties carry an operating temperature range of -40°C to 85°C (-40°F to 185°F).
What tensile strength and length options are available in UV Shield cable ties?
UV Shield cable ties are available in a Standard tensile tier (50 Lbs, 0.18 inch width) in 8 and 14 inch lengths, and a Heavy-Duty tensile tier (120 Lbs, 0.29 to 0.34 inch width) in 14 and 24 inch lengths.
Is the 24 inch UV Shield cable tie MIL-SPEC rated?
Yes. The 24 inch Heavy-Duty UV Shield cable tie meets the MIL-STD MS3367-10-0 military specification.
