[TowerTalk] UV resistant wire ties

[john at kk9a.com]

The black cable ties that are sold by the big box stores are usually junk.
 I use Panduit ties and have seen few failures and actually no failures
with the larger sizes. I have been using them for years in IL, NC and P4.

This has been discussed before, but without a really satisfying answer.

Does any one have the brand and product number of a UV resistant wire tie,
proven to last many years ?

I have used many so-called UV resistant ties that are junk. OTOH, the wire
ties provided by M2 with my 6 year old 40M4LLDD have held up very well,
despite the UV-rich environment here in NM.
