Panduit CCALTR2326-X Aluminum Trefoil Cable Cleat 23-26mm, Pack of 10

Overview

The Panduit CCALTR2326-X is an aluminum trefoil cable cleat engineered for medium-to-high fault-current environments where you need cables to stay put during a short-circuit event. Rated to 114kA maximum fault current and certified to IEC 61914:2015, this cleat is the hardware you specify when the electrical engineer's report demands documented withstand capacity — not a generic tie or strap. Each pack contains 10 cleats, sized for trefoil cable groups with an outer diameter of 23 to 26mm.

Aluminum construction keeps weight down in overhead tray and ladder rack installations while delivering the rigidity needed for fault-current retention. Note that aluminum is appropriate for less corrosive environments; if you're working in coastal, chemical, or high-humidity zones, evaluate stainless steel alternatives.

Key Features

• 114kA Fault-Current Rating: tested to retain trefoil cable groups at up to 114kA of fault current — gives you a documented withstand value to present to electrical inspectors and AHJs, rather than relying on engineering estimates.
• IEC 61914:2015 Certification (listed as CEI 61914:2015): the internationally recognized standard for cable cleats. Mandatory on many commercial and industrial projects in the EU and increasingly specified on North American critical-infrastructure jobs. The CCALTR2326-X ships with this certification, eliminating re-testing costs.
• 23–26mm Cable OD Range: fits standard trefoil groupings in that diameter band. Measure your cable jacket OD before ordering — the cleat won't grip properly outside this range, and an under-sized cleat under fault conditions is a liability.
• Aluminum Construction: lighter than steel alternatives, corrosion-resistant in standard indoor and sheltered outdoor environments, and electrically compatible with aluminum cable infrastructure. Not the correct choice for salt-spray or aggressive chemical environments — verify site conditions first.
• M8 Bolt Mounting (bolt not included): installs directly into cable tray rung holes using a standard M8 bolt. Plan your fastener procurement separately; spacers and washers for galvanic corrosion protection are also sold separately, which matters if you're mixing aluminum cleats with steel trays.
• Pack of 10: at 100mm overall height, these are not small hardware items. The 10-unit pack quantity aligns with typical per-run cleat spacing requirements, reducing order fragmentation on multi-run cable tray projects.
• Trefoil Configuration: purpose-built for three-phase power cables laid in trefoil (triangular) formation, the arrangement that minimizes electromagnetic interference between phases. If your cables run in flat formation, this cleat is the wrong geometry — verify installation layout before specifying.

Integration & Compatibility

The CCALTR2326-X (often searched as CCALTR2326 X) is compatible with cable tray systems that accept M8 fasteners through the rung or bar. Panduit identifies competitor cross-references 376AB01, 376AC01, ALP01-AN0, and ALP01-AN1 for engineering teams migrating from other cleat programs. Spacers and galvanic isolation washers are available from Panduit separately and should be specified wherever aluminum contacts dissimilar metals in the support structure. Browse the full Panduit cable management line for compatible tray systems, or explore the cable cleats category for additional diameter ranges and materials. For projects requiring a structured cabling layout plan, the cable management buying guide covers cleat spacing, fault-current selection, and tray fill calculations. If your project also requires power distribution accessories, Panduit offers coordinated product families for end-to-end installations.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What cable outer diameter does the CCALTR2326-X accommodate?

A: The CCALTR2326-X is sized for trefoil cable groups with an outer diameter of 23 to 26mm. Cables outside this range require a different cleat size.

Q: What fault current is the CCALTR2326-X rated to withstand?

A: It is tested to a maximum fault current of 114kA, making it suitable for medium-to-high fault-current power cable installations.

Q: Is the CCALTR2326-X suitable for corrosive or outdoor coastal environments?

A: No. The aluminum construction is appropriate for less corrosive environments. For aggressive chemical or salt-spray environments, a stainless steel cable cleat should be evaluated instead.

Q: Does the mounting bolt come included with the CCALTR2326-X?

A: No. The M8 bolt required for installation is not included. Spacers and washers for galvanic corrosion protection are also sold separately.

Q: What standard certifies the CCALTR2326-X?

A: The CCALTR2326-X is certified to IEC 61914:2015 (listed as CEI 61914:2015), the international standard for cable cleats used in power installations.

Q: How many cleats are in one pack, and what is the overall height?

A: Each pack contains 10 cleats. The overall height of each cleat is 100mm (3.94 inches).

The CCALTR2326-X is a detail that shows up late in a project but matters early in the design — once you've committed to trefoil cable layout and a specific tray system, the cleat size and material are locked. The 114kA fault-current rating here is not marketing language; it's a tested value under IEC 61914:2015 that an electrical inspector can verify against the project's prospective short-circuit current calculation. If your PSCC is anywhere near that figure, this is the product to have on the submittal.

Technical Highlights:

• 114kA Fault-Current Withstand: independently tested per IEC 61914:2015 — provides a documented number for AHJ submittals and engineering-of-record sign-off, not an estimated capacity.
• 23–26mm Trefoil Fit: the cleat geometry is specific to trefoil (triangular three-phase) cable groupings; it will not seat correctly on flat-laid or single-cable runs, so confirm cable layout in the design package before procurement.
• Aluminum at 100mm Height: the 3.94-inch profile fits standard ladder rung spacing without interference in most tray configurations, and aluminum keeps the assembly weight manageable in long overhead runs.

Deployment Considerations:

• The M8 mounting bolt is not included — order fasteners and galvanic isolation washers (sold separately by Panduit) at the same time, especially if the tray is steel; aluminum-to-steel contact without isolation accelerates corrosion at the mounting point.
• This cleat is rated for less corrosive environments; do not specify it for chemical processing, marine, or coastal outdoor installations without a corrosion analysis — the IEC 61914 certification does not cover aggressive-environment service.

Best fit: commercial or light-industrial three-phase power cable installations — switchgear rooms, MV cable risers, and data center PDU feed runs — where the electrical engineer has specified a fault-current-rated trefoil cleat on the drawing package and the environment is standard indoor conditioned or sheltered.
