ABB TY523MR Cable Tie, Polyamide and Stainless Steel, Transparent, 100 Pieces

The ABB TY523MR cable tie is a professional-grade fastening solution designed for efficient cable management and bundling. Constructed from high-quality natural polyamide, also known as nylon 6.6, this cable tie features an integrated stainless steel locking mechanism that ensures a secure and permanent hold. With a length of 91.95 mm and a width of 2.29 mm, it is engineered to provide reliable performance in various electrical and industrial environments.

Advantages

The primary advantage of this cable tie is its robust construction, which combines the flexibility of polyamide with the superior locking strength of a stainless steel barb. This design offers a higher level of security compared to standard all-plastic ties, preventing accidental slippage or loosening over time. The material is rated for indoor use and can withstand temperatures up to 85 degrees Celsius, making it a versatile choice for professional installations where durability is essential.

Suitable for

• Organizing electrical wiring in control panels
• Bundling cables in indoor industrial environments
• Securing components in telecommunications equipment
• General cable management in plenum spaces

When it may not be suitable

This cable tie is specifically designed for indoor applications and is not recommended for prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or harsh outdoor weather conditions, as the natural polyamide material may degrade under UV radiation. It is also not intended for heavy-duty structural support where loads exceed the specified tensile strength rating.

Key specifications

• Material: Polyamide 6.6 with stainless steel locking barb
• Length: 91.95 mm
• Width: 2.29 mm
• Thickness: 0.75 mm
• Tensile strength: 80 Newtons
• Maximum operating temperature: 85 degrees Celsius
• Quantity: 100 pieces per pack

How to use

To use the ABB TY523MR, wrap the tie around the cable bundle and insert the tapered end through the head of the tie. Pull the strap until it is tight against the cables. The stainless steel barb will automatically engage with the serrated strap to lock it in place. Excess length can be trimmed using a standard cable tie tensioning tool or side cutters for a clean finish.

What to consider before purchase

• Ensure the bundle diameter is compatible with the 91.95 mm length
• Verify that the application environment is strictly indoors
• Check that the 80 Newton tensile strength meets your load requirements

Usage recommendations

For optimal results, use a calibrated cable tie tensioning tool to ensure consistent tightening force and to trim the excess tail flush with the head, preventing sharp edges.
