# Thomas & Betts TY5253MR - 295mm x 4.8mm - natural

## Long natural cable tie for heavy indoor bundles: Thomas & Betts TY5253MR, 295 x 4.8 mm

A full cable tray above a suspended ceiling or under a raised floor needs a tie that fits comfortably around the bundle and then stays put. That is what the TY5253MR is made for: 295 mm long, 4.8 mm wide and suitable for bundles from 3 to 78 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 supply this natural version to electrical contractors, data centre builders and machine builders, in bags of 100.

The strap is made of uncoloured polyamide 6.6, free of halogens and silicone. The low-profile head holds a 316 stainless steel barb that grips the smooth strap and locks it steplessly. With a tensile strength of 222 N (approx. 23 kg), the tie keeps even heavy bundles of power cables in place. More sizes with this lock are listed under our [metal tooth cable ties](en/closure-materials/cable-ties/metal-tooth-cable-ties).

### Typical work for this tie

- Heavy bundles on cable trays and ladders above ceilings
- Cable bundles under raised floors and in server rooms
- Power and control cables in machine building
- Pipe and cable bundles in production halls and plant rooms

If you also want to identify bundles, [cable ties with a marker label](en/closure-materials/cable-ties/cable-ties-with-marker-label) are easy to write on. Other light-coloured sizes can be found among our [white cable ties](en/closure-materials/cable-ties/white-cable-ties).

## Frequently asked questions about the TY5253MR

### Why is this tie 4.8 mm wide?

The width determines tensile strength: a wider strap is stronger. The length determines how thick the bundle can be. At 295 x 4.8 mm you get both a large circumference and 222 N of holding force.

### Can I use this tie to fix cables on a roof?

Better not. Natural polyamide does not withstand prolonged sunlight. For roofs and façades, use [black cable ties](en/closure-materials/cable-ties/black-tyraps), which are UV-stabilised.

### How do I tension such a long tie neatly?

A cable tie tool tensions every tie with the same force and trims the tail flush in a single action. See our [cable tie pliers](en/closure-materials/cable-ties/cable-ties_pliers).
