Kyle's Takeaways:
Cable ties represent one of the most cost-effective solutions for organization, repairs, and creative projects. By thinking beyond their traditional use for cable management, you can discover hundreds of applications that will save you time and money.

When it comes to managing coaxial cables, precision and protection make all the difference. Thomas & Betts TCP360 Cable Tie Deltec Modular Spacers deliver both — keeping cables evenly spaced, properly supported, and performing at their best.

In environments where signal integrity and organisation matter, these modular spacers keep coaxial cables separated, protected from abrasion, and securely held in place. Whether you’re wiring a commercial building, a broadcast facility, or a telecommunications network, this small component plays a crucial role in maintaining signal clarity and long-term reliability.

A Modern Solution for Coaxial Cable Management

Coaxial cables carry data, video, and communication signals. Their performance depends on physical stability — bends, pressure, or interference from neighbouring cables can lead to signal loss or distortion. That’s why modular spacers like the TCP360 exist: to create separation, reduce friction, and maintain consistent spacing between runs.

Unlike standard tie mounts or clamps, modular spacers are shaped to cradle round coaxial cables. They prevent sagging and crossing, keeping each line parallel. This isn’t just about aesthetics — it preserves consistent impedance and signal quality.

For technicians, that means fewer call-backs, fewer maintenance issues, and cleaner installs that stand the test of time.

Built by Thomas & Betts for Reliability

Cable Tie Modular Spacers

Product Overview

  • Model: Thomas & Betts TCP360
  • Description: Cable Tie Deltec Modular Spacers for Coaxial Cable
  • Material: Weather-resistant polypropylene
  • Color: Black
  • Temperature Rating: −30°F to 150°F (−34°C to 65°C)

These durable spacers perform indoors and outdoors. The polypropylene construction resists UV, moisture, and temperature swings, making it a strong choice for rooftops, communication towers, and exposed cable runs.

Why Modular Spacers Matter

1) Protect Signal Integrity

Coaxial cables are sensitive to compression and proximity. Tight bundling can introduce crosstalk and bandwidth loss. Spacers maintain geometry and shielding performance by preventing cable-to-cable contact.

2) Reduce Wear and Tear

Cables rubbing on each other or against surfaces wear faster. TCP360 spacers cut abrasion, extend cable life, and reduce replacement costs.

3) Organise Complex Installs

Uniform spacing delivers a professional look and simplifies tracing. During upgrades, separated cables reduce confusion and speed service.

4) Adapt to Any Configuration

Modular design lets you link spacers to scale from single runs to multi-line trunks — neat, straight, and repeatable.

Built to Withstand the Elements

The TCP360’s weather-resistant polypropylene body stands up to sunlight and temperature fluctuations. It resists cracking, fading, and warping, and offers excellent chemical resistance. From icy rooftops to warm utility rooms, the rated −30°F to 150°F performance window supports year-round reliability.

This durability suits telecom infrastructure, broadcast paths, campus networks, and any coax install exposed to tough conditions.

Installation Made Simple

Technicians value hardware that saves time. The TCP360 is designed for straightforward, repeatable installs.

  • Each spacer cradles the cable securely.
  • Cable ties thread through or around the spacer for fastening to poles, trays, or supports.
  • Need to expand? Snap in additional spacers without reworking the entire route.

That modular agility keeps projects moving and simplifies field changes.

Real-World Applications

  • Telecommunications: Align and separate coax feeds on towers, exterior walls, and indoor racks.
  • Broadcasting: Maintain consistent paths in studios and transmission rooms to protect signal quality.
  • Security & CCTV: Prevent cross-interference and clutter across multi-camera coax networks.
  • Residential/Commercial Wiring: Keep structured media panels neat and traceable.
  • Industrial Networks: Support coax or hybrid power-data cables across utilities and plants.
Wherever coax is used, consistent spacing is essential for safety, performance, and reliability.

Choosing the Right Spacer

Match your spacer to the cable and environment for best results.

  • Material: Weather-resistant polymers (like polypropylene) excel outdoors and in high-moisture areas.
  • Cable OD: Choose a cavity size that supports the coax without compression.
  • Mounting: Use compatible ties and supports to avoid jacket deformation.
  • Temperature: Verify spacer and tie ratings for your site conditions.
