I learned a lesson a long time ago here, after I used big black tie-wraps on
all my cables on towers. I have white ties and ropes that are still good
after 14 years, and black that fell apart after a few years.
While black color generally slows degradation down, black does not mean UV
stabilized or even UV resistant. :-)
If you want UV resistant, buy something that is UV resistance material or
has UV inhibitors, no matter what color.
