Zip Tie Recommendations
Did a search & didn't come up with much...

I'm starting a big electrical refit & thinking about cable ties. Some questions for the Community:

- Black, White or color scheme (AC v DC, N2K/Signal v Power?) During ripout, I've noticed white is much easier to find in dark corners to cut.
- Good quality brand or source?
- Container to attempt to stay organized?
- ABYC says support every 18" plus strain relief at connections. What is best practice?

What about zip ties for other uses?
- Marking anchor chain - what color scheme, 4" OK?
- Locking shackles & antenna ties- Black does best in UV?
- OK for jib furler shackles?
