Panduit CCAL2H8397-X Two-Hole Aluminum Cable Cleat for 83-97mm Cables

The Panduit CCAL2H8397-X aluminum cable cleat secures single power cables 83-97mm (3.27-3.82 inches) in diameter during short-circuit fault events up to 131kA peak current. IEC 61914:2015 certified, this two-hole clamp installs directly to cable tray rungs with user-supplied M10 bolts, meeting international standards for electrical installations in data centers, substations, industrial facilities, and commercial power distribution systems. Ships as a package of 10 cleats; insulating spacers and washers sold separately when galvanic corrosion protection is required.

Short-circuit faults generate electromagnetic forces that can eject unsecured cables from trays, causing secondary damage and extended outages. The CCAL2H8397-X clamp mechanically restrains the cable within the cleat body during fault events—tested and certified to IEC 61914:2015 at 131 kiloamps peak. The two-hole design mounts perpendicular to the cable tray rung using M10 bolts (not included), placing the cleat directly over the rung for maximum structural support. Aluminum construction provides sufficient strength for medium-to-high fault currents while resisting corrosion in indoor and sheltered outdoor environments; for highly corrosive locations or coastal installations, consider stainless steel alternatives. When installing, torque M10 fasteners per Panduit specifications and verify the cleat fully encircles the cable insulation—partial engagement reduces fault retention.

This cleat fits cable diameters from 83mm to 97mm, covering common medium-voltage and large low-voltage power cables used in 480V–15kV distribution systems, battery interconnects, generator feeders, and UPS output circuits. The 162mm width spans standard cable tray rung spacing; confirm your tray's rung width and bolt-hole pitch before ordering. Insulating spacers and non-conductive washers (sold separately) are required when installing aluminum cleats on steel trays or when securing aluminum-jacketed cables—direct metal-to-metal contact creates galvanic cells that accelerate corrosion. For mixed-material installations, consult Panduit's accessory catalog for the correct spacer kit matching your cable tray type. Each box contains 10 cleats; calculate quantity by counting vertical cable runs and applying cleats at every support point per NEC Article 300 and IEC 61914 spacing tables (typically every 0.5–1 meter depending on fault level).

IEC 61914:2015 certification requires third-party witnessed testing at the declared fault current; the 131kA rating on this cleat reflects actual laboratory short-circuit testing, not theoretical calculations. This certification is mandatory for installations in jurisdictions adopting IEC standards and is increasingly specified by engineers in North American projects requiring international compliance. The CCAL2H8397-X's combination of aluminum construction, direct-tray mounting, and 131kA rating makes it suitable for substations, switchgear rooms, critical power distribution in hospitals and data centers, and renewable energy interconnections where fault currents approach or exceed 100kA.
