Panduit CCPL1H2327-X 23-27mm Cable Cleat 10-Pack

Panduit CCPL1H2327-X Polymer One-Hole Cable Cleat

The Panduit CCPL1H2327-X delivers IEC 61914:2015-certified short-circuit protection for single power cables with outside diameters of 23-27mm (0.91-1.06 inches). Tested to withstand peak fault currents up to 69.5kA, this one-hole polymer cleat retains cables during fault events that would otherwise cause catastrophic whip and impact damage in battery rooms, UPS installations, and industrial power distribution systems. The glass-filled nylon construction handles operating temperatures from -40°C to +60°C while mounting directly to cable tray rungs via a single user-supplied M10 bolt, eliminating the need for separate mounting hardware or welded studs.

Short-circuit faults in power distribution create electromagnetic forces that can propel unsecured cables with enough energy to damage adjacent equipment, sever conduit, and injure personnel. The CCPL1H2327-X addresses this by clamping the cable at regular intervals—IEC 61914 installations typically space cleats 150-300mm apart depending on fault current and cable mass—so that fault-induced movement is constrained to small deflections between cleat points rather than destructive whipping along the entire cable run. The interlock mechanism between the top and bottom nylon halves is critical here: under fault conditions, the cleat experiences both radial expansion from the cable's magnetic field and torsional stress from cable rotation. The interlock tabs prevent the halves from twisting apart, maintaining clamp integrity through the fault duration. Glass-filled nylon provides the necessary stiffness to resist deflection while avoiding the weight and installation complexity of metallic cleats, making it suitable for medium fault environments where the tested 69.5kA rating exceeds the available fault current at the installation point.

This cleat size is commonly deployed on 1/0 AWG through 4/0 AWG single-conductor power cables and 23-27mm jacketed battery interconnect cables in UPS and energy storage installations. The single-hole tray mounting method aligns with Panduit's cable tray ecosystem—the cleat installs over a tray rung, and the M10 bolt passes through both the cleat's mounting hole and the rung's ventilation slot, creating a rigid attachment point without drilling or welding. Installers should verify that tray rung slots accommodate M10 hardware; most ladder-type and ventilated-bottom trays in the 150-600mm width range have compatible slot patterns. The 23-27mm cable diameter window accounts for standard insulation thicknesses on conductors in this ampacity range, but verify actual cable OD with insulation and any jacket layers before ordering—cables at the low end of the range (23mm) require the cleat to be tightened enough to engage the internal ridges, while cables at the high end (27mm) will compress slightly when the bolt reaches proper torque. For cables outside this range, Panduit's CCPL series includes nine additional sizes; consult the cleat calculator on Panduit's engineering portal or contact for custom geometries in multi-cable or trefoil configurations.

IEC 61914:2015 requires third-party witnessed testing at fault currents representative of the installation's prospective short-circuit current, with pass/fail criteria based on whether the cable remains captured and the cleat remains attached after three fault pulses. Panduit's 69.5kA test certification—conducted at an accredited lab per the standard's Annex A test procedure—provides a documented safety margin for installations with lower available fault currents, which is critical for engineer-of-record signoff and AHJ plan review. The -40°C to +60°C temperature rating covers outdoor telecom battery enclosures in northern climates and non-climate-controlled industrial battery rooms, though the polymer material's UV resistance is limited; for prolonged direct sunlight exposure, consider metallic cleats or cable tray covers that shield the cleats. This 10-pack configuration supports a typical single cable run with cleats at 200mm spacing over a 2-meter tray section, or closer spacing where fault current analysis requires reduced span between retention points.
