Panduit CCAL1H1923-X One-Hole Aluminum Cable Cleat, 19-23mm, IEC 61914:2015, Pack of 10

The Panduit CCAL1H1923-X is a single-cable, one-hole aluminum cleat designed to retain power cables against the mechanical forces generated during a short circuit fault. Certified to IEC 61914:2015 and tested up to 93.4kA peak fault current, this cleat is engineered for electrical distribution and cable tray installations where fault containment is a code and safety requirement — not an afterthought. Each pack contains 10 cleats sized for cable outside diameters of 19–23mm (approximately 0.75–0.91 in).

Overview

Cable cleats are a critical but often overlooked layer of electrical safety. During a short circuit, electromagnetic forces can cause cables to whip violently — enough to damage insulation, destroy adjacent infrastructure, or injure personnel. The CCAL1H1923-X addresses this by mechanically anchoring each cable to the cable tray rung, holding it in place even under the impulse loads of a high-energy fault event. The aluminum construction keeps weight low while providing the structural integrity required for medium-level short circuit duty in moderately benign environments.

This cleat is specifically positioned for lower-to-medium short circuit fault applications in less corrosive environments — meaning it is the correct pick for indoor electrical rooms, data center cable trays, industrial conduit runs, and similar installations, but not the right choice for marine, coastal, or chemically aggressive settings where a stainless steel variant would be more appropriate.

Key Features

• IEC 61914:2015 Certification: This is the international standard that governs cable cleat design, testing, and performance. Specifying a cleat certified to IEC 61914:2015 means the product has been independently tested — not just claimed — to retain cables under defined fault conditions. For engineers stamping drawings or specifiers writing bid documents, this certification is often a contractual requirement.
• 93.4kA Peak Fault Current Rating: The cleat has been tested and verified to withstand 93.4 kiloamps of peak fault current without releasing the cable. This covers the majority of medium-voltage distribution and heavy commercial/industrial power systems. If your site's prospective short circuit current (PSCC) calculation exceeds this figure, you will need to step up to a higher-rated cleat series.
• 19–23mm Cable OD Compatibility: The clamp accepts a single cable with an outside diameter between 19 and 23mm (roughly 0.75–0.91 in). This range covers a typical cross-section of medium-power cables commonly encountered in switchgear rooms, cable trays, and substation builds. Verify your cable's finished OD from the manufacturer's datasheet before ordering — undersized or oversized cables will not seat correctly and will compromise clamp performance.
• Single-Cable, One-Hole Design: The one-hole configuration simplifies installation and keeps the cleat footprint compact on crowded cable trays. Each cleat manages one cable run independently, which also makes it straightforward to add or remove cables without disturbing adjacent runs.
• Direct Cable Tray Rung Mounting via M10 Bolt: The cleat installs directly to a standard cable tray rung using a user-supplied M10 bolt. No proprietary hardware is required, and the mounting geometry is consistent with standard cable tray rung spacing. The M10 bolt is not included — plan for it in your hardware BOM.
• Natural Aluminum Construction, 52mm Wide × 32mm Tall: The compact 52 × 32mm profile (2.04 × 1.26 in) fits into tight tray configurations without crowding adjacent cleats. Aluminum keeps corrosion resistance adequate for clean indoor environments while avoiding the cost premium of stainless. For installations near dissimilar metals (steel trays, copper conductors), note that galvanic corrosion is a real risk — Panduit offers insulating spacers and washers sold separately to isolate the aluminum cleat from dissimilar metal contact.
• Pack of 10: Sold in quantities of 10, which aligns with typical cable run counts on a single tray section. For large-scale projects, calculate your run count first and order in multiples — mixing pack sizes mid-project adds unnecessary procurement overhead.

Integration and Compatibility

The CCAL1H1923-X mounts to any standard cable tray rung that accepts an M10 bolt — ladder tray, ventilated trough, and solid-bottom trays are all compatible provided the rung geometry allows the bolt to be torqued correctly. The cleat is designed for a single cable per cleat; do not attempt to seat two cables within one cleat body as this defeats the engineered clamping geometry.

When installing on steel cable trays or alongside copper conductors, specify the separately available insulating spacers and washers from Panduit's cable cleat accessory line to prevent galvanic coupling between the aluminum cleat body and dissimilar metals. In outdoor or corrosive environments, this aluminum variant is not the correct specification — consult the stainless steel cleat options in the same family.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What cable outside diameter does the CCAL1H1923-X accept?

A: The CCAL1H1923-X is designed for a single cable with an outside diameter of 19–23mm (approximately 0.75–0.91 inches). Cables outside this range will not seat correctly in the clamp geometry and should use a different cleat size.

Q: Is the CCAL1H1923-X certified to IEC 61914:2015?

A: Yes. The CCAL1H1923-X is certified to IEC 61914:2015, the international standard for cable cleats, and has been tested to retain cables at up to 93.4kA peak fault current.

Q: What hardware is needed to install the CCAL1H1923-X?

A: The cleat mounts directly to a cable tray rung using a user-supplied M10 bolt. The bolt is not included in the pack. Insulating spacers and washers for galvanic corrosion protection are also sold separately.

Q: Can the CCAL1H1923-X be used in outdoor or corrosive environments?

A: No. Panduit specifies this cleat for lower-to-medium short circuit fault applications in less corrosive environments. For coastal, marine, or chemically aggressive installations, a stainless steel cable cleat variant is the appropriate specification.

Q: How many cleats are included in one order of CCAL1H1923-X?

A: Each order of the CCAL1H1923-X includes 10 cable cleats.

Q: Does the CCAL1H1923-X handle multiple cables per cleat?

A: No. The CCAL1H1923-X is a single-cable cleat. Installing more than one cable per cleat body defeats the engineered clamping geometry and is not a supported configuration.

The CCAL1H1923-X is one of those components that tends to get specified correctly on the drawing and then substituted incorrectly in the field — usually because someone swaps in a generic cable tie and calls it equivalent. It is not. The difference is the 93.4kA peak fault current test rating: a cable tie holds cable in place under normal conditions; this cleat is engineered to hold under the electromagnetic impulse of a dead short. If your single-line shows a PSCC anywhere near that threshold, the cleat is doing real engineering work, not just cable housekeeping.

Technical Highlights:

• IEC 61914:2015 Certification: Third-party tested — not self-declared. On projects where the spec calls for IEC 61914 compliance, this is the documentation that closes the submittal package without a conversation.
• 93.4kA Peak Fault Rating: Covers the overwhelming majority of commercial and industrial MV distribution scenarios. For utility substation work or high-fault-capacity switchgear rooms, run the PSCC calc first to confirm this tier is sufficient.
• 19–23mm OD Range, 52 × 32mm Footprint: The compact body fits standard ladder tray rung spacing without interference at normal 300mm or 450mm cleat intervals. Tight spacing on high-density trays — measure your rung pitch before committing to cleat spacing on the BOM.

Deployment Considerations:

• The M10 bolt is user-supplied — add it explicitly to your hardware BOM or it will be missing on delivery day. The cleat body dimensions assume a standard M10 hex bolt; confirm clearance if your tray rung has a non-standard profile.
• Aluminum-on-steel tray contact is a galvanic corrosion path in any environment with humidity cycles. Panduit sells insulating spacers and washers separately for this exact reason — do not skip them in mechanical rooms or anywhere condensation is possible, even if the environment is nominally 'less corrosive.'

The CCAL1H1923-X is the straightforward pick for IEC 61914:2015-compliant cable retention in indoor electrical rooms, switchgear enclosures, and commercial building cable tray runs where the prospective fault current has been calculated and falls within the 93.4kA test threshold. It is not a fit for outdoor, marine, or chemically aggressive service — specify the stainless variant for those sites.
