Panduit UV cable ties will last for years in the south Florida sun. In
critical situations, I wrap them with a couple of turns of 3M Super 88
tape. This is a 10 year+ solution as long as tension doesn't overstress the
TieWrap.
I know a few places where big industrial Ty wraps held telephone cable to
the supporting strand for 10 years - but it wasn't engineered that way. It
was a short term repair that wasn't noted for rehabilitation.
