Jim, August,<br><br>I like the Wiley clips the best as well after using zip ties and other products over the years. The challenge I found with Plastic is it does not last over the long haul and of the many styles I've used none have performed better. The clips hide the cable cleanly and securely and will last as long as the system.<br>

<div><font face="Arial">I'm proposing a ground mounted PV installation that will
have the usual exposed DC conductors and so need to be secured into a
raceway of some sort. I stumbled across this Thomas & Betts cable tying
system which looked like it would work well for neatly securing long
straight runs of one or more conductors attached behind a raceway or inside the
module frame. </font></div>
<div><font face="Arial">Has anyone tried this method of mounting long or short
wire runs?</font></div>
<div><font face="Arial">The Deltec plastic is rated as very good UV
resistance. </font><font face="Arial">T&B Part numbers are TCP5255, TYDLH,
