Panduit BT3S-C Cable Tie 12 in 50 lb Natural Nylon

Cable Tie for Electrical Bundling

The Panduit BT3S-C is a standard nylon cable tie designed for securing wire bundles in electrical installations. Its 12 inch length and 50 lb tensile strength suit commercial and residential wiring tasks. The natural Nylon 6/6 material provides a halogen-free, low-smoke profile for indoor routing. UL Type 2 listing confirms compliance with recognised safety requirements.

Build Integration and Clearance

The tie accepts a maximum bundle diameter of 3 1/4 inches, allowing multiple conductors to be secured with a single strap. A stainless steel barb locking mechanism engages without special tools, freeing installer time during panel assembly. At 0.18 inches wide and 0.05 inches thick, the strap fits tight conduit fills where bulkier fasteners would not seat. The halogen-free jacket avoids adding restricted substances to plenum or riser pathways.

Sustained Load Behaviour

Rated for continuous exposure from -76 degrees to 185 degrees F, the nylon retains locking force through thermal cycling in unconditioned spaces. The material resists creep under constant tension, so bundles remain secure during long-term vibration from transformers or motor feeds. Flame retardant rating is not claimed, so the tie should not be specified where fire-rated penetration seals are required. Outdoor exposure is not rated, limiting use to protected interior environments.
