Panduit S6-40-M StrongHold Cable Tie
The Panduit S6-40-M delivers UL-listed, plenum-rated cable bundling for commercial security, AV, and low-voltage installations where code compliance isn't optional. This 5.5-inch intermediate tie handles 40-pound tensile loads in nylon 6-6 construction, meeting UL 62275 Type 2, 21 requirements and AH-2 plenum ratings for air-handling spaces. Packaged in 1,000-piece bulk quantities, it's sized for integrators running rack builds, overhead cable routing, or structured cabling jobs where generic hardware store ties won't pass inspection.
Key Features
- UL 62275 Type 2, 21 listed for compliant low-voltage installations
- AH-2 plenum rated for use in air-handling spaces and return-air plenums
- 40 lb (18.1 kg) minimum tensile strength for secure cable bundling
- Nylon 6-6 (polyamide 6-6) construction resists UV degradation and temperature extremes
- 5.51-inch (140 mm) length handles typical 1-2 inch diameter cable bundles
- RoHS compliant for projects with environmental material restrictions
- Natural color blends with white/beige infrastructure and cable jackets
- 1,000-piece packaging reduces reorder frequency on multi-day installs
Nylon 6-6 brings higher tensile strength and better creep resistance than cheaper polyethylene or polypropylene ties, maintaining bundle tension over years of thermal cycling in equipment rooms and ceiling spaces. The 40-pound rating exceeds typical requirements for Cat6/Cat6A data bundles, coax runs, or mixed low-voltage groups, with enough margin to handle pull forces during installation without premature failure. UL 62275 Type 2, 21 certification confirms flame resistance and mechanical performance under standardized test conditions—critical when inspectors red-tag non-listed products in commercial builds. The AH-2 plenum rating allows use in return-air pathways above drop ceilings or below raised floors without requiring conduit, cutting installation time and material costs on jobs where every penetration adds labor.
This 5.5-inch length sits in the sweet spot for overhead tray runs, vertical rack management, and bundled home runs from telecom rooms to IDF closets. It's short enough for tight grouping of 6-12 cables but long enough to cinch down 2-inch bundles without maxing out the tail. Integrators running large camera installations, access control loops, or structured cabling projects benefit from the 1,000-piece bulk packaging—one box covers typical single-rack deployments or a full floor of a mid-rise build without mid-job supply runs. Natural color works across most environments: blends with white cable jackets in finished spaces, stays neutral in gray server racks, and doesn't visually clutter cable trays the way bright colors do in exposed industrial ceilings.
The UL listing differentiates this from commodity ties sold at electrical distributors or hardware chains, where non-listed products routinely fail inspection on permitted work. Plenum rating adds another layer of code compliance for installations in schools, hospitals, airports, or office towers where local amendments enforce strict material standards in air-handling spaces. RoHS compliance ensures the product meets material restriction directives on government contracts, LEED-certified builds, or EU-export equipment—avoiding the late-stage substitution requests that derail project schedules. For commercial integrators balancing speed, compliance, and cost on spec-driven work, the S6-40-M delivers field-proven Panduit reliability without the premium pricing of specialty-rated ties.
