Thomas & Betts Ty-Rap, The Cable Tie Engineered To Last.

T&D, a leading UK distributor for Thomas & Betts electrical products stock Thomas & Betts Ty-Rap Cable Ties - a product with a 50 year history. 

Within the electrical cable and wire industry, cables and cable containment is a serious issue. This issue was particularly significant in the aircraft industry around 1958 which is when Thomas & Betts invented the Ty-Rap cable tie.

Today, Thomas & Betts Ty-Raps still set the benchmark for excellence in innovative, new cable containment products. 

Ty-Rap products are used today to wrap, bundle and contain cables - this includes low and high voltage power, control and instrumentation cables installed in safe, industrial or hazardous area environments.

While all plastic cable ties will stretch, weaken and deteroriate to point of failure overtime, Ty-Tap is designed to perform over an extended life cycle in commercial, industrial and hazardous areas. UL tested and listed to meet requirements of the NEC (National Electrical Code) in the USA.

Often Imitated, Never Equaled. 

Ty-Rap Range

• Coloured Cable Ties
• UV Resistant Cable Ties
• Flame Retardant Cable Ties
• Detectable Cable Ties
• Flouropolymer Cable Ties

• Grip Of Steel - The Ty-Rap's non-hydroscopic stainless steel locking device means the cable tie has an excellent useful life whilst providing the highest levels of strength.

• Fewer Stress Points - This feature is provided by the Ty-Rap's smooth and notchless cable tie body. Fewer stress points ultimately means higher strength and therefore a longer use life. 

• Snag Free Installation - The rounded, low profile head of the Ty-Rap cable tie makes it easier to pull bundled cables through bulkheads. 

• Excellent Temperature Performance - The Thomas & Betts Ty-Rap range performs excellently in both high and low temperatures. This performance is facilitated by the variety of materials the products are available in.
