# Thomas & Betts TY5277MX - 617mm x 6.9mm - black

## Extra long and heavy duty: the black Thomas & Betts TY5277MX, 617 x 6.9 mm (50 pieces)

Some bundles are so large that even a long cable tie falls short. That is what the TY5277MX is for: at 617 mm long it closes around bundles up to 177 mm in diameter (from 6 mm). Since 2007, we have been the go-to wholesaler for [Thomas & Betts cable ties](en/closure-materials/cable-ties/thomas-betts-cable-ties), and we see this size ordered mainly by companies in construction, industry and infrastructure. Each pack contains 50 pieces, enough for a sizeable project without having to stockpile.

Despite its length, the strap is anything but flimsy: the 6.9 mm polyamide 6.6 reaches a tensile strength of 534 N (approx. 54 kg). The black material is stabilised against weathering and UV, and is halogen-free. In the head, a grade 316 stainless steel barb holds the strap at any position you choose, with no fixed notches. For other sizes using the same locking principle, see our [metal tooth cable ties](en/closure-materials/cable-ties/metal-tooth-cable-ties).

This tie is designed for bundles and objects with a large circumference, such as tying together an entire cable run or fixing a bundle to a thick mast or pipe. As it is suitable for outdoor use, it also fits projects that will be exposed to sun and rain for years.

### Large-circumference applications

- Complete cable runs and main bundles in industrial plants
- Fixing cables and hoses to masts, posts and large pipes
- Bundling hydraulic hoses on heavy machinery
- Outdoor cabling in solar parks and infrastructure projects

If the bundle will sit in full sun for years, on a flat roof for example, also take a look at our [extra UV-resistant cable ties](en/closure-materials/cable-ties/extra-uv-resistant-tyraps). Need shorter black ties for the smaller bundles on the same project? You will find them among our [black cable ties](en/closure-materials/cable-ties/black-tyraps).

## Frequently asked questions about the TY5277MX

### Should I cut off the long tail after tightening?

Yes, that is recommended. Trim the excess directly behind the head so there is no sharp edge or protruding end. A [cable tie tool](en/closure-materials/cable-ties/cable-ties_pliers) tensions and cuts the tie in a single action.

### Can I install the TY5277MX outdoors in winter?

Yes, within the limits specified by ABB. Install the tie at -30 °C or warmer; once in place, the black polyamide is rated for -60 °C to +105 °C.

### How does it differ from the TY277MX?

The TY277MX is the same black 617 x 6.9 mm tie, but supplied in quantities of 500. The TY5277MX in a pack of 50 is more convenient if you only need this length for a specific project.
