Ty-Fast® TY400-120X-100 - 375mm x 7.6mm - black

Black Thomas & Betts TY400-120X-100 for outdoor work: 375 x 7.6 mm, bag of 100

Bundles outdoors have a hard time: sun, rain and wind work on the strap day after day. The TY400-120X-100 is built for exactly that, as the black, UV-resistant version of the wide 375 mm Ty-Fast. Since 2007, we have been the go-to wholesaler for Thomas & Betts cable ties, and installers mainly use this tie where a sizeable bundle of up to 102 mm has to stay secure outside.

The X in the part number stands for the black, weather-resistant version made from UV and heat stabilised polyamide 6.6. The nylon pawl is moulded in one piece with the head, combining low insertion force with high locking strength. Thanks to the double-sided finger grip and the SureGrip tab, the tail will not slip away even when you are wearing gloves. More lengths in this colour can be found among our black cable ties.

Putting the TY400-120X-100 to work outdoors

With 540 N tensile strength and a 7.6 mm strap, this tie is strong enough for heavy cables and lines on roofs, façades and fences. The 375 mm length leaves room to go around a post or pipe and take a bundle along at the same time.

Practical examples

• Securing DC cables beneath solar mounting systems
• Bundling cables along fences and lighting columns
• Fixing lines to outdoor units of heat pumps and air conditioners
• Temporary cabling on building sites and at events

If the bundle will sit in full sun for years, our extra UV-resistant cable ties go one step further. And if you want to tension these wide ties quickly and consistently, have a look at our cable tie tools.

Frequently asked questions about the TY400-120X-100

Why should I choose a black cable tie for outdoor use?

The black polyamide of the TY400-120X-100 is UV stabilised, so the strap does not turn brittle in sunlight as quickly. White or natural ties such as the TY400-120-100 lack this protection and are meant for indoor use.

Can I install this tie outdoors in winter?

The tie can be used from -40 °C to +85 °C, but ABB specifies a minimum installation temperature of -20 °C. In harder frost, it is best to wait or keep the ties somewhere warm until just before use.

Can I tension this cable tie with a tool?

Yes. A cable tie tool pulls the 7.6 mm strap evenly tight and cuts the tail off flush, giving a neat finish without sharp ends.
