Default Re: Which is the best material for an aerial sleeve?

The same theory applies to cable ties apparently. Always use the black ones for outdoors. From my experience the white ones quickly go brittle but the black ones seem to have a fairly long life when exposed to UV and the elements. I am not sure of the actual composition but they may use similar plastics to U/G cable sheaths. Most of the U/G cable we use has a black outer sheath, with some armoured types having a grey or green sheath. None seem to be affected by exposure to daylight.
