Panduit IMLT254S-C StrongHold 304 Stainless Steel Cable Tie 100-Pack
Overview
The Panduit IMLT254S-C is a 33-inch (838 mm) standard-profile stainless steel cable tie from the StrongHold™ IMLT series — built for industrial and outdoor wire management applications where nylon or plastic ties fail over time. At 0.25 mm (0.010") strap thickness and 304 stainless steel construction, these ties handle the corrosive, high-temperature, and UV-exposure conditions that plastic ties cannot. Each pack contains 100 ties, and cases ship in quantities of 500, making the IMLT254S-C a practical choice for large-scale infrastructure bundling projects where you need consistent performance across every tie in the run.
The StrongHold™ line targets environments where tie failure is not a recoverable event — think outdoor conduit runs on rooftops, marine or coastal installations, chemical processing facilities, or industrial control panels where moisture and heat are constants. If you are currently using nylon ties in any of those environments and revisiting them for re-bundling every two to three years, this is the product to evaluate as a direct replacement.
IMLT254S-C (often searched as IMLT254S C) is compatible with Panduit's dedicated application tools including the GS4MT-E, HTMT, PPTMT, and ST2MT tensioning and cut-off tools, which deliver consistent tension across every tie and a flush cut — no protruding tail to create a snag or safety hazard in wire management trays.
Key Features
- 304 Stainless Steel Construction: Grade 304 SS resists corrosion from moisture, salt air, and most industrial chemicals. In outdoor surveillance infrastructure, cable management, or coastal utility enclosures, this is the difference between a tie that lasts a decade and one you are replacing every season.
- 838 mm (33") Overall Length: The long-form strap accommodates large cable bundles, conduit clusters, or pipe attachments where a shorter tie would fall short. At 33 inches, you have enough length to wrap, tension, and cut off on a 4–5 inch bundle diameter with room to seat the head properly before final tensioning.
- 0.25 mm (0.010") Strap Thickness: Thin enough to seat and feed easily through tight spaces and tool heads, while maintaining the tensile strength expected of a stainless steel bundle tie. This profile is the industry-standard for the I-series IMLT geometry.
- Metallic (Natural SS) Color: Unpainted stainless finish is chemically inert and does not add a coating that can crack, chip, or introduce non-metallic contamination into clean or regulated environments. Suitable for food-adjacent or pharmaceutical infrastructure runs where coating integrity matters.
- UL 62275 Type 2 Listed (File No. E56854): Third-party listing to UL 62275 means these ties have been independently tested for electrical wiring applications. For any installation subject to electrical inspection or NEC cable management requirements, the UL listing removes the guesswork on compliance — the file number is verifiable.
- 100-Piece Pack / 500-Piece Carton: The 100-tie unit pack aligns with job-site use without over-ordering on a single project; the 500-piece case price makes bulk procurement straightforward for facilities, contractors, or integrators stocking a service van or warehouse. Order in carton quantities when you know the run count in advance.
- Tool-Compatible (GS4MT-E, HTMT, PPTMT, ST2MT): Panduit's application tools apply consistent torque and cut the tail flush in a single motion. In high-count installations — 50, 100, 500 ties per day — hand-tensioning introduces inconsistency and wrist fatigue; the tool path is the right call for any volume work.
Integration & Compatibility
The IMLT254S-C is designed for use with Panduit's stainless steel cable tie application tools: GS4MT-E, HTMT, PPTMT, and ST2MT. Pairing the correct tool ensures repeatable, calibrated tension across every tie — critical when you are managing high-voltage wiring bundles, EMC-sensitive cable harnesses, or structured cabling runs where loose or over-tensioned ties affect performance or longevity. These tools are compatible across the broader Panduit StrongHold™ cable tie product family, so if you are already running Panduit tools on-site, the IMLT254S-C drops in without a tooling change.
For applications requiring a shorter tie, evaluate other lengths in the Panduit IMLT series before committing to the 838 mm format — the 33-inch length is suited to large bundles and extended-reach applications, not compact rack or panel wire dressing where a shorter strap gives better control. If your installation involves mounting to structural members or pipe, cross-reference Panduit's mounting tie and cable management accessory catalog to ensure the right tie geometry for the attachment method.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What material are the IMLT254S-C cable ties made from?
A: The IMLT254S-C is constructed from Type 304 stainless steel — a corrosion-resistant alloy suited for outdoor, marine, and industrial environments where plastic or nylon ties degrade.
Q: How long is each cable tie in the IMLT254S-C pack?
A: Each tie measures 838 mm (33.0 inches) overall length with a 0.25 mm (0.010-inch) strap thickness.
Q: How many cable ties are included in the IMLT254S-C package?
A: Each package contains 100 ties. The carton quantity is 500 ties (5 packs per case).
Q: Is the IMLT254S-C UL listed?
A: Yes. The IMLT254S-C meets UL 62275 Type 2 requirements, listed under UL File No. E56854 — applicable to electrical wiring cable management applications.
Q: Which Panduit tools are compatible with the IMLT254S-C?
A: The IMLT254S-C is designed for use with Panduit application tools GS4MT-E, HTMT, PPTMT, and ST2MT. These tools tension and cut the strap tail flush in a single operation.
Q: What applications are the IMLT254S-C ties intended for?
A: Listed for general use (Allgemein), the IMLT254S-C is suited for industrial wire bundling, outdoor infrastructure, and any application requiring stainless steel tie longevity — including rooftop cable runs, marine environments, and facilities where UV or chemical exposure defeats nylon alternatives.
The IMLT254S-C is the tie I reach for when the installation environment makes plastic a liability. At 838 mm with a 304 SS body, this strap handles the bundle diameters and exposure conditions that eliminate nylon from consideration — rooftop surveillance cable runs, coastal utility boxes, outdoor conduit clusters where UV and salt air are facts of life, not edge cases.
Technical Highlights:
- 304 Stainless Steel at 0.25 mm profile: Grade 304 gives you genuine corrosion resistance without the bulk of a thicker industrial strap — feeds through tool heads cleanly and seats reliably even on large bundles.
- 838 mm (33-inch) length: Long enough to wrap bundles up to roughly 5 inches in diameter and still seat the lock head correctly before tensioning — if your typical bundle is under 2 inches, a shorter IMLT variant is more economical per-tie.
- UL 62275 Type 2, File E56854: An independently verified listing — not a self-declared claim. On any job that gets inspected, this is the number your electrician or AHJ wants to see on the spec sheet.
Deployment Considerations:
- Pair with the GS4MT-E or HTMT tool on any volume run — hand-tensioning 100+ stainless ties per day is slow, inconsistent, and hard on your hands; the tool pays for itself quickly on a multi-day pull.
- The 100-tie pack is the right buy for a single project or service call; if you are stocking for a multi-site rollout, order carton quantities (500 per case) to avoid per-pack premium.
The IMLT254S-C is the correct specification for outdoor security and surveillance infrastructure cable management — specifically where nylon ties have already failed or where the environment (coastal, industrial, high-UV) makes their failure predictable. For indoor rack or panel wire dressing, a shorter nylon tie is almost always the more practical and cost-effective choice.
