Panduit CCAL2H109120-X Two-Hole Aluminum Cable Cleat, 109-120mm Single Cable, Pack of 10
Overview
The Panduit CCAL2H109120-X is a two-hole aluminum cable cleat engineered for medium to high short-circuit fault environments where cable containment under fault conditions is a code and safety requirement. Designed for single cables with an outer diameter of 109–120mm (4.29–4.72 in), this cleat installs directly to cable tray rungs via M10 bolts (user-supplied) and delivers the mechanical retention needed to prevent cable displacement during a fault event. Certified to IEC 61914:2015 and tested up to 131kA peak fault current, it belongs in industrial power distribution, substation cable management, and large-diameter feeder runs where an uncertified clamp is not an acceptable substitute. Sold as a pack of 10, the CCAL2H109120-X (often searched as CCAL2H109120 X) suits project quantities without overstocking individual units.
Key Features
- IEC 61914:2015 Certification: This isn't a compliance checkbox — IEC 61914 defines the test methodology for cable cleats under short-circuit fault current. Certification means the cleat was independently tested to retain cables through fault events at the rated current, not just sized by rule of thumb. Required documentation for most industrial and utility projects.
- 131kA Peak Fault Current Rating: Tested to 131kA peak, this cleat handles fault levels typical of medium-voltage switchgear, large transformer secondaries, and utility tie points. If your fault study puts you near or above that threshold, consult the engineer of record — but for the majority of commercial and industrial MV/LV panel feeds, 131kA covers the worst-case scenario.
- Two-Hole Clamping Design: The two-hole configuration provides a secure, symmetrical clamp around the cable jacket. Compared to single-bolt cleats, the two-point fix distributes clamping force more evenly, reducing point stress on large-diameter cable insulation — a real consideration on expensive MV cables where jacket damage means replacement, not repair.
- Aluminum Construction — Natural Finish: Aluminum offers the right balance of strength-to-weight for cable tray installations in less corrosive indoor and covered outdoor environments. The natural (uncoated) finish is appropriate where galvanic corrosion with dissimilar metals is managed separately — Panduit recommends insulating spacers and washers (sold separately) when galvanic isolation is needed, such as when mounting to steel trays.
- 109–120mm Cable Compatibility: Fits single cables with OD of 109–120mm, which maps to large cross-section power conductors typical in main distribution feeders, generator output cables, and transformer connections. Verify your cable OD from the manufacturer's data sheet before ordering — cable OD varies by insulation and armor type even at the same conductor size.
- Direct Cable Tray Rung Mount: The fixing holes align to standard cable tray rungs. M10 bolts (not included) are used for attachment. This keeps installation straightforward and avoids custom brackets on standard tray systems — confirm rung spacing and tray rung width are compatible with the 186mm (7.33 in) overall width of the cleat before specifying.
- Pack of 10: At 10 units per pack, ordering aligns naturally with runs requiring regular cleat spacing (typically every 500mm–1000mm depending on fault current and cable weight). Bulk pack pricing reduces per-unit cost on larger projects compared to sourcing individually.
Integration and Compatibility
The CCAL2H109120-X is designed for single-cable applications only — it is not rated for trefoil or multi-cable configurations. Installation requires user-supplied M10 bolts; torque to the cable tray manufacturer's specification for the rung material. For installations where the aluminum cleat contacts a steel tray or dissimilar-metal structure, Panduit's insulating spacers and washers (sold separately) should be used to prevent galvanic corrosion over time — particularly relevant in coastal, industrial, or high-humidity environments. Competitive equivalent references include 2A-142N, 2BC106120A, and 370BA30, useful for cross-referencing legacy project specs or BOMs using those part numbers. The cleat carries the IEC 61914:2015 standard certification; verify that the installation project specification calls out this standard and that the 131kA test level meets or exceeds the site's calculated prospective fault current.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What cable outer diameter does the CCAL2H109120-X fit?
A: The CCAL2H109120-X is designed for single cables with an outer diameter of 109–120mm (4.29–4.72 inches). Always verify your cable's actual OD from the cable manufacturer's data sheet, as OD varies by insulation system and armoring even for the same conductor cross-section.
Q: What fault current level is the CCAL2H109120-X tested to?
A: The CCAL2H109120-X has been tested up to 131kA peak fault current in accordance with IEC 61914:2015. This covers the fault levels encountered at most commercial and industrial medium-voltage and low-voltage distribution points. If your fault study produces values above 131kA, consult the engineer of record for a higher-rated cleat.
Q: Are mounting bolts included with the CCAL2H109120-X?
A: No. The CCAL2H109120-X installs to cable tray rungs via user-supplied M10 bolts. Insulating spacers and washers for galvanic corrosion protection are also sold separately.
Q: Is the CCAL2H109120-X suitable for outdoor or corrosive environments?
A: The CCAL2H109120-X aluminum construction is described as suitable for less corrosive environments. For corrosive or marine environments, evaluate whether additional galvanic protection (insulating spacers and washers, sold separately) or a stainless steel variant is required for the specific site conditions.
Q: How many units come in a pack of CCAL2H109120-X?
A: Each pack contains 10 cable cleats. This quantity is appropriate for runs requiring regular cleat spacing — consult your installation standard or engineer of record for the required spacing interval based on cable weight and fault current.
Q: What standard does the CCAL2H109120-X comply with?
A: The CCAL2H109120-X is certified to IEC 61914:2015, the international standard governing the performance, testing, and application of cable cleats for electrical installations.
The CCAL2H109120-X is a specialized tool, not a commodity component — if you're speccing cable cleats, you're working on a project where IEC 61914:2015 compliance is either contractually required or should be. The 131kA peak fault current test rating is the critical number here: it places this cleat firmly in the main distribution and medium-voltage feeder category, not secondary branch circuits where lighter-duty options suffice.
Technical Highlights:
- 131kA Peak Fault Current Tested: Verified under IEC 61914:2015 test conditions — not a calculated rating, an actual tested value. On large feeder runs near switchgear or transformer secondaries, this is the spec that determines whether a cleat is code-compliant or just physically present.
- Two-Hole Aluminum Clamp: The symmetrical two-bolt clamping geometry distributes retention force evenly across a 109–120mm OD cable. Single-bolt cleats at this cable size create uneven jacket stress; the two-hole design avoids that on expensive MV insulated conductors where jacket integrity is critical.
- 7.33-inch Overall Width: At 186mm wide, confirm your cable tray rung span accommodates the cleat footprint before the project ships. It's an easy check on drawings that prevents a return on a 10-pack.
Deployment Considerations:
- M10 bolts are not included — have them on the truck. Stainless fasteners are recommended when using insulating spacers to prevent galvanic coupling between the aluminum cleat and steel tray hardware.
- This cleat is rated for single cable only. Do not use for trefoil three-phase bundled arrangements — that requires a purpose-built trefoil cleat, and using a single-cable cleat on a bundle is a compliance failure, not just a fit issue.
Best fit: main distribution feeder runs in industrial facilities, utility substations, data center power infrastructure, or large commercial projects where the electrical engineer of record has specified IEC 61914:2015 compliance and the prospective fault current at the installation point falls within the 131kA tested threshold.
