Frequently asked questions
Common questions about RETYZ from 3G Electric.
What is the difference between RETYZ plenum push-release cable ties and standard cable ties?
RETYZ plenum push-release cable ties are made from materials that comply with low-smoke and flame-retardant requirements for use in air-handling spaces (plenums). Standard cable ties may not meet these fire-safety codes. Additionally, the push-release mechanism allows the tie to be opened and re-closed without cutting, which is not a feature of standard one-time-use ties.
Can RETYZ UV-stabilized cable ties be used in direct sunlight?
Yes. RETYZ UV-stabilized cable ties, such as the PRT-V36BK-PA and EVT-V16BK-TA, are formulated with UV inhibitors to resist degradation from prolonged exposure to sunlight. They are rated for outdoor use and are suitable for applications like solar panel wiring, exterior cable trays, and telecommunications installations where continuous UV exposure is expected.
What temperature range do RETYZ heat-stabilized cable ties handle?
RETYZ heat-stabilized cable ties, like the WKT-H14BK-TA, are designed to maintain tensile strength and dimensional stability at elevated temperatures, typically up to 105°C (221°F) continuous. They are suitable for use near heat sources such as industrial ovens, boilers, or engine compartments. Always verify the specific temperature rating on the product datasheet for your application.
Are RETYZ push-release cable ties reusable?
Yes. RETYZ push-release cable ties are designed to be releasable and reusable. The push-release mechanism allows the tie to be opened by pressing the release tab, then re-closed around the same or a different bundle. This reduces waste and is useful for temporary installations or maintenance tasks where cables need to be accessed repeatedly.
What colors are available for RETYZ cable ties?
RETYZ cable ties are available in black, natural, blue, maroon, fluorescent orange, and orange. Black ties are typically used for outdoor or UV-stabilized applications. Natural ties are for indoor use. Colored ties (blue, maroon, fluorescent orange, orange) can be used for color-coding cable bundles for identification, safety marking, or aesthetic purposes.
What is the maximum bundle diameter for RETYZ cable ties?
RETYZ cable ties cover a range of bundle diameters. The smallest in the product line accommodates up to 38 mm (1.5 inches), while the largest handles up to 280 mm (11 inches). For example, the VRT-S06BL-TA has a max bundle diameter of 38 mm, and the PRT-V36BK-PA has a max of 280 mm. Select the tie length based on your bundle size.
