## How do you attach a cable tie?

A [cable tie ](en/closure-materials/cable-ties)(also known as a bundle strap) quickly and easily keeps cables and pipes together. For the TYB253MX, you guide the long end around the bundle and through the head; once the band passes the Stainless Steel 316 locking mechanism, it is secured.

Since this size is often used for larger bundles, a [tyrap tool](en/closure-materials/cable-ties/cable-ties_pliers) helps you tighten the tie with the right tension and neatly cut off the excess part.

## Frequently Asked Questions about the Thomas & Betts TYB253MX

### What is the difference between the TYB253MX and the TY25MX?

Both are 4.8 mm wide with Stainless Steel 316 locking and UV resistant, but the TYB253MX is longer (295 mm) and can bundle up to 76 mm, compared to 45 mm with the TY25MX. Choose the TYB253MX for thicker bundles.

### Is the 4.8 mm band still strong enough at this length?

Yes. The black TYB253MX is UV resistant and therefore excellent for long-term outdoor use.

### How many ties are in a box?

The TYB253MX is supplied in a box of 1000 pieces.
