Panduit CCPL2H150165-X Two-Hole Polymer Cable Cleat for Short-Circuit Protection

Overview

The Panduit CCPL2H150165-X is a two-hole polymer cable cleat engineered for short-circuit protection in low-to-intermediate fault-current environments. Designed for single cables in the 150–165mm diameter range, it retains cables under fault conditions — tested by a third-party laboratory to peak fault currents of up to 85.4kA — and meets the IEC 61914:2015 standard for cable cleats. If you're specifying containment for medium-voltage or large-conductor power runs in commercial, industrial, or infrastructure applications where electromechanical cable movement during a fault event is a real risk, this cleat addresses the problem directly. Each pack contains 10 units of the CCPL2H150165-X (often searched as CCPL2H150165 X).

Key Features

• IEC 61914:2015 Certification: Meeting the international standard for cable cleats means this product has been independently evaluated for mechanical strength and retention — not just self-declared. Specifying to IEC 61914:2015 satisfies engineering sign-off requirements on protected installations without additional justification.
• 85.4kA Peak Fault Current Rating: Third-party laboratory testing at up to 85.4kA peak puts this cleat firmly in the low-to-intermediate fault-current tier. Before specifying, confirm your calculated prospective short-circuit current for the installation point — if your bus or feeder exceeds this rating, you'll need a higher-rated cleat in the same family.
• 150–165mm Cable Diameter Range: This cleat fits a narrow, specific window. It is not adjustable across the broader range you might see on multi-piece or trefoil designs — it targets exactly 150–165mm OD cables. Match it to your cable's actual outer diameter before ordering.
• Glass-Filled Nylon Construction with Rounded Edges: The nylon matrix with glass fill delivers mechanical rigidity for fault retention without the weight or corrosion risk of steel in less hostile environments. Rounded edges are a deliberate design choice — they protect cable insulation from abrasion at the cleat contact points, which matters over the service life of an installation.
• Internal Grooves for Cable Retention: Grooves molded into the cleat body grip the cable OD and resist axial movement under mechanical stress. This is especially relevant where cables are routed vertically and gravity is also a factor during normal operation.
• –40°C to +60°C Operating Range: The –40°C to +60°C (–40°F to +140°F) operating range covers most indoor and sheltered outdoor environments — cold-climate utility rooms, switchgear cellars, or warm plant floors. It is not rated for sustained high-heat environments above 60°C ambient.
• Direct Cable Tray Rung Mounting, Dual M10 Bolts: Mounts directly to a cable tray rung through two fixing holes using M10 bolts supplied by the installer. No adapter hardware is included — your site needs M10 fasteners on hand. The direct-to-rung approach keeps the assembly low-profile and avoids secondary mounting plates.
• 10-Piece Pack Sizing: Packaged in quantities of 10, which suits a single run of multiple cleats at required spacing intervals rather than a bulk procurement situation. Calculate your spacing per IEC 61914 and the cable manufacturer's recommendation before ordering quantity.

Integration and Compatibility

The CCPL2H150165-X is compatible with cable tray systems that provide accessible rungs or structural members drillable or pre-punched for M10 hardware. It is intended for single-cable installation in the 150–165mm OD range — it does not accommodate trefoil or bundled multi-cable configurations in a single cleat body. Competitor cross-references documented for this cleat include 2F+162, 2F+171, 2F+172, KOZ STC 120-160, and SE 135-170, which may assist in direct substitution evaluation. The Panduit cable management catalog includes additional sizes and custom configurations available on request for installations outside the standard size range.

For installations requiring coverage across a wider cable diameter spectrum, Panduit's cable cleat product line spans a range from 38mm up through 165mm across multiple pieces in the family. For large power distribution or medium-voltage cable routing projects, review cable management infrastructure options to ensure consistent containment from the source panel to the termination point. When planning a complete short-circuit protection strategy, pairing cleats with correctly rated cable tray systems is essential — the tray and cleat must be co-rated for the installation's prospective fault current.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What cable diameter does the CCPL2H150165-X fit?

A: The CCPL2H150165-X fits a single cable with an outer diameter of 150–165mm. It is not adjustable and does not accommodate cables outside this range.

Q: What standard does the CCPL2H150165-X meet?

A: It is certified to IEC 61914:2015, the international standard governing cable cleats for electrical installations, and was tested by a third-party laboratory.

Q: What peak fault current has the CCPL2H150165-X been tested to?

A: Third-party laboratory testing confirmed retention at peak fault currents of up to 85.4kA. Verify this against the prospective short-circuit current at your specific installation point before specifying.

Q: What fasteners are required to install the CCPL2H150165-X?

A: Installation requires two M10 bolts, which are not included — they must be supplied by the installer. The cleat mounts directly to a cable tray rung through two fixing holes.

Q: What is the operating temperature range for the CCPL2H150165-X?

A: The rated operating temperature range is –40°C to +60°C (–40°F to +140°F), covering most indoor and sheltered outdoor environments.

Q: How many cleats are included in one order of the CCPL2H150165-X?

A: Each package contains 10 individual cable cleats. Order quantity based on your required cleat spacing intervals per IEC 61914 and the cable manufacturer's guidance.

The CCPL2H150165-X sits in a specific and often under-specified niche: large-conductor short-circuit retention for low-to-intermediate fault environments. The 85.4kA peak fault current test rating is the number that should drive the conversation — that's not a nominal figure, it's a third-party verified maximum. If your fault study puts the prospective short-circuit current above that at the cleat location, this is the wrong product regardless of how well it fits the cable OD.

Technical Highlights:

• IEC 61914:2015 Certification: Independent lab verification against the international cable cleat standard — this satisfies the documentation requirement for most engineering sign-off processes without supplemental testing.
• Glass-Filled Nylon Construction: The material choice makes sense for less hostile environments: corrosion-resistant, mechanically stiff enough for fault retention loads, and lighter than steel alternatives. Not appropriate for continuous high-temperature exposure above 60°C.
• Dual M10 Fixing Points: Two-bolt mounting to the tray rung distributes the fault impulse load across two connection points, which is why this geometry handles higher fault currents than single-bolt cleats. M10 hardware is not included — budget it into your BOM.

Deployment Considerations:

• Cleat spacing along the cable run must be calculated per IEC 61914 and the cable manufacturer's own short-circuit withstand data — the cleat itself only holds what its spacing allows. Ten pieces per pack assumes you've done that math and know your interval count per run.
• The 150–165mm OD window is narrow enough that a field measurement of the installed cable's actual outer diameter is non-negotiable before ordering. A cable at 148mm or 167mm won't seat correctly, which negates the fault retention performance entirely.

This cleat is the right call on medium-voltage feeder runs in commercial switchgear rooms, substation cable cellars, or industrial plant distribution systems where large single-conductor cables are tray-routed and the fault study confirms currents within the 85.4kA ceiling — not a general-purpose cable tie substitute.
