Panduit CCPL1H3238-X Polymer Cable Cleat — 1-Hole, 32–38mm, IEC 61914:2015, 10-Pack
The Panduit CCPL1H3238-X is a single-hole, glass-filled nylon cable cleat designed for short-circuit fault retention on cable trays in low-to-intermediate fault-current environments. It clamps cables with an outside diameter of 32 to 38mm, installs directly onto a cable tray rung using a single user-supplied M10 bolt, and is tested to a peak fault current of 69.5kA in accordance with IEC 61914:2015. Each pack contains 10 cleats. The CCPL1H3238-X (often searched as CCPL1H3238 X) is Panduit's answer for industrial facilities, commercial MV/LV switchgear rooms, and data center power distribution runs where cable retention under fault conditions is a code-driven requirement — not an afterthought.
Key Features
- IEC 61914:2015 Third-Party Tested to 69.5kA Peak: The cleat is validated by an independent laboratory — not just self-declared. A 69.5kA peak fault current rating covers the vast majority of low-to-intermediate fault-level installations; if your fault study shows levels above this threshold, step up to a higher-rated cleat family rather than assuming margin.
- 32–38mm Cable Diameter Range: Sized for medium power cables typical of 3-phase feeder runs in commercial and light industrial settings. Measure your cable's actual OD including jacket before ordering — this cleat does not adjust outside its stated range, and an improper fit defeats the retention function entirely.
- Glass-Filled Nylon Construction: Glass reinforcement in the nylon base material adds rigidity and creep resistance compared to unfilled nylon, which matters when cables are under sustained mechanical load. Rounded edges on the cleat body protect cable insulation from abrasion during installation and under the dynamic forces of a fault event.
- Interlocking Upper and Lower Halves: The interlock feature prevents rotation between the two cleat halves once assembled, keeping cable alignment correct even under vibration or repeated thermal expansion cycles. This is a detail that matters in environments with motor loads or variable-frequency drives nearby.
- Grooved Interior Surface: Internal grooves grip the cable jacket and resist axial migration — cables stay where you placed them along the tray run, reducing the chance of slack buildup at terminations over time.
- Single M10 Bolt Mounting: One fastener per cleat mounts directly to the cable tray rung — no additional bracket, clamp plate, or hardware kit required beyond a standard M10 bolt (user-supplied). This keeps installation straightforward on densely populated trays where working room is limited.
- Operating Temperature Range -40°C to +60°C (-40°F to +140°F): Covers outdoor plant environments, unheated substations, and hot mechanical rooms without requiring a special compound. The -40°C lower limit is the same rating required for outdoor utility installations in northern climates.
- Pack of 10: Stocked in quantities of 10 per pack, which aligns with typical tray run spacing calculations. Most installations space cleats at intervals defined by IEC 61914 table guidance based on cable diameter and fault level — plan your quantity before ordering to avoid partial packs on larger runs.
Integration and Compatibility
The CCPL1H3238-X installs on standard cable tray rungs using a single M10 bolt. It is compatible with cables in the 32–38mm outside diameter range and is not tied to a specific tray manufacturer — verify rung width accommodates the 70mm (2.75 in) overall width of the cleat body. Panduit's Panduit cable management line includes additional cleat sizes covering 10–57mm cable diameters across 10 cleat pieces per pack; if your installation involves multiple cable sizes, coordinate cleat selection across the full diameter range before procurement. This product is part of the broader cable management and protection category alongside cable tray systems, ladder rack, and associated hardware. For power distribution infrastructure planning, review our power distribution accessories section to coordinate cable routing hardware with busway and tray systems. Engineers specifying to IEC 61914:2015 should also consult a wire and cable management selection guide for spacing recommendations and fault-level coordination. Competitor part equivalents include 1BC3238, 1F-16, 382AA04, and 385AA07 for cross-reference purposes.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What cable outside diameter range does the CCPL1H3238-X accept?
A: The CCPL1H3238-X is designed for cables with an outside diameter of 32 to 38mm. It does not adjust outside this range — measure your cable OD including the jacket before ordering.
Q: What peak fault current is the CCPL1H3238-X rated for?
A: The cleat has been tested to a peak fault current of 69.5kA per IEC 61914:2015 by a third-party laboratory. This makes it suitable for low-to-intermediate fault-level applications. Installations with fault levels exceeding this figure require a higher-rated cleat.
Q: What standard does the CCPL1H3238-X comply with?
A: The CCPL1H3238-X is tested and certified to IEC 61914:2015, the international standard governing cable cleats for electrical installations.
Q: What fastener is required to mount the CCPL1H3238-X?
A: A single M10 bolt, supplied by the installer. No additional brackets or clamp plates are required. The cleat mounts directly to a cable tray rung.
Q: What material is the CCPL1H3238-X made from?
A: Glass-filled nylon. The glass reinforcement improves rigidity and creep resistance compared to unfilled nylon, and the rounded edges protect cable insulation during installation and fault events.
Q: What is the operating temperature range of the CCPL1H3238-X?
A: -40°C to +60°C (-40°F to +140°F), suitable for unheated outdoor enclosures, cold-climate substations, and hot mechanical rooms.
The CCPL1H3238-X lands in a specific and well-defined niche: low-to-intermediate fault environments where you need IEC 61914:2015 compliance without the cost premium of stainless steel or aluminum cleats. The 69.5kA peak fault current test rating is the number I always ask engineers to verify against their arc flash and fault study before spec'ing this product — it's a hard ceiling, not a design margin.
Technical Highlights:
- 69.5kA Peak Fault Rating: Third-party laboratory tested to IEC 61914:2015 — this is a witnessed, documented test result, not a calculated estimate. Relevant for any project where the AHJ or owner's spec requires test evidence rather than manufacturer assertion.
- -40°C to +60°C Operating Range: Covers outdoor Canadian substations in winter through hot mechanical rooms in summer without compound substitution. Most polymer cleats cap at +50°C; the extra 10°C of upper headroom matters in tightly enclosed cable tray runs near heat-generating equipment.
- Glass-Filled Nylon with Interlock: The upper/lower interlock prevents rotational displacement under repeated thermal cycling — a failure mode I've seen on cheaper cleats in VFD-heavy panel rooms where cables expand and contract daily.
Deployment Considerations:
- The M10 bolt is user-supplied — verify tray rung hole pattern accommodates M10 before installation. Some older ladder rack systems are drilled for M8; using an oversized hole without a bushing compromises clamping force and the cleat's tested retention performance.
- This is a single-cable cleat for 32–38mm OD only. If your tray carries a mix of cable sizes, you'll need multiple SKUs from Panduit's cleat range — the full family covers 10–57mm across 10 pieces per pack, but each size is a separate order line.
This cleat is the right call for commercial MV feeder runs in switchgear rooms, hospital power distribution infrastructure, and industrial plant cable trays where IEC 61914:2015 is called out in the project spec and fault levels sit below the 69.5kA threshold. If the fault study shows higher levels, or if the environment is corrosive enough to attack nylon, move to a metallic cleat family instead.
