Panduit CCPLTR2228-X Polymer Trefoil Cable Cleat Pack of 10

Overview

The Panduit CCPLTR2228-X is a glass-filled nylon trefoil cable cleat designed to retain power cables under medium to high short-circuit fault conditions in less harsh indoor or protected environments. Certified to IEC 61914:2015 and tested to 136kA peak fault current, this cleat is engineered for electrical installations where short-circuit restraint is a code and safety requirement — not just a convenience. Each unit mounts directly to a cable tray rung via integral fixing holes and a user-supplied M10 bolt, accommodating trefoil cable configurations with individual cable diameters of 22–28mm (0.87–1.1 in OD). Sold in a pack of 10, the CCPLTR2228-X (often searched as CCPLTR2228 X) is sized for medium power cable runs in commercial, industrial, and infrastructure electrical panels and cable tray systems.

Key Features

• IEC 61914:2015 Certification: This is the international standard specifically governing cable cleats for electrical installations. Specifying a certified cleat eliminates the guesswork around whether a fixing will hold under fault conditions — and satisfies inspector and engineer sign-off requirements on commercial and industrial projects.
• 136kA Peak Fault Current Rating: Tested and verified to retain cables at 136kA peak — a figure that puts this cleat squarely in medium-to-high fault current applications. If your installation's prospective short-circuit current exceeds this, you need a higher-rated metallic cleat; if it falls within range, this polymer unit is appropriate and lighter to install.
• 22–28mm Cable Diameter Compatibility: Covers the trefoil configuration for cables in the 22–28mm OD range. Confirm your actual cable outer diameters before ordering — a cleat sized outside your cable OD won't develop the retention force the IEC test validated.
• Glass-Filled Nylon Construction: The polymer material is lighter than aluminum or steel cleats and offers inherent corrosion resistance, making it practical in environments where metallic hardware would corrode but where the environment is not chemically aggressive or UV-exposed outdoors over long periods. Rounded edges are designed to protect cable insulation from abrasion at contact points.
• Direct Cable Tray Rung Installation: Fixing holes align to standard cable tray rungs. You supply an M10 bolt — no proprietary hardware required. This keeps the installation straightforward and means spare hardware is available from any electrical supply house.
• Pack of 10: Projects sizing cable cleats at IEC-compliant spacing intervals (typically every 750mm–1500mm depending on fault current and cable weight) will consume cleats in volume. Ordering in packs of 10 aligns with how installations are actually built rather than forcing single-unit purchasing.
• Trefoil Configuration: Purpose-built for three-phase power cable arrangements laid in trefoil — the geometry that minimizes electromagnetic force imbalance between conductors under fault conditions. Using a flat or single-cable cleat in a trefoil run does not provide equivalent retention; this cleat is shaped specifically for the three-conductor bundle.

Integration & Compatibility

The CCPLTR2228-X installs on standard cable tray rungs using a user-supplied M10 bolt — compatible with most commercial cable tray systems. It is intended for trefoil cable arrangements with individual cable outer diameters between 22mm and 28mm. This cleat is suitable for medium to high short-circuit environments per its IEC 61914:2015 certification, but is specified for less harsh (non-extreme outdoor, non-chemical exposure) environments given its polymer construction. For aggressive outdoor, UV-intensive, or chemically exposed runs, evaluate aluminum or stainless steel cleats from the Panduit cable management line instead. For broader wire routing, management, and protection hardware, including cable tray systems this cleat is designed to work with, browse the full category. If you are sizing cleats for a full run, consult a cable cleat selection and spacing guide — IEC 61914 spacing calculations depend on fault current, cable weight, and installation geometry, all of which affect how many units this pack will cover. Complementary cable tray and accessories are available to complete the installation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What cable outer diameter range does the CCPLTR2228-X accommodate?

A: The CCPLTR2228-X is designed for trefoil cable configurations with individual cable outer diameters of 22–28mm (0.87–1.1 inches). Verify your actual cable OD before ordering — using a cleat outside its rated cable range compromises the retention force the IEC test validated.

Q: What fault current level is the CCPLTR2228-X rated for?

A: It has been tested to 136kA peak fault current per IEC 61914:2015. This places it in the medium-to-high short-circuit category. If your installation's prospective short-circuit current exceeds 136kA peak, a higher-rated metallic cleat is required.

Q: Is the CCPLTR2228-X suitable for outdoor installations?

A: This cleat is specified for less harsh environments. Its glass-filled nylon construction resists corrosion, but it is not rated for prolonged UV exposure, chemical environments, or extreme weather. For outdoor or aggressive-environment cable runs, a metallic (aluminum or stainless steel) cleat from the Panduit line is the better choice.

Q: What hardware is needed to install the CCPLTR2228-X on a cable tray?

A: The cleat installs directly to a cable tray rung via its integral fixing holes using a user-supplied M10 bolt. No proprietary fasteners are required — standard M10 hardware from any electrical supply house works.

Q: What standard certifies the CCPLTR2228-X?

A: The CCPLTR2228-X is certified to IEC 61914:2015, the international standard for cable cleats used in electrical installations. This certification is typically required for compliance sign-off on commercial and industrial electrical projects.

Q: How many cleats are included per pack?

A: Each order of the CCPLTR2228-X includes 10 cable cleats.

The CCPLTR2228-X earns its place on specs alone: IEC 61914:2015 certification with a verified 136kA peak fault current test rating means this is a cleat you can put in front of an electrical engineer for sign-off without hesitation. The 22–28mm OD window covers a practical range of medium-power three-phase cable, and the glass-filled nylon construction keeps installation weight down compared to aluminum alternatives on the same tray run.

Technical Highlights:

• 136kA Peak Fault Current: This is the number that drives cleat selection decisions — it tells you the electromagnetic force the cleat was engineered and tested to withstand. At 136kA, this unit sits comfortably in medium-to-high fault current territory for commercial and light industrial distribution systems.
• IEC 61914:2015 Compliance: The standard isn't a marketing label here — it's the basis for the spacing tables and force calculations your electrical engineer will use to specify cleat intervals. A non-certified cleat can't support that calculation, which means it can't be signed off on a compliant installation.
• 22–28mm Cable OD Range: Covers cables from roughly 0.87 to 1.1 inches in diameter in trefoil configuration. This is a relatively tight window — if your cables are at the boundary, measure twice before committing to a full pack of 10.

Deployment Considerations:

• Installation requires a user-supplied M10 bolt per cleat — factor this into your bill of materials when ordering for a full cable tray run. Standard M10 stainless or zinc hardware is fine; the cleat's polymer body won't galvanically corrode common bolt materials.
• This cleat is rated for less harsh environments — the polymer is not a substitute for aluminum or stainless steel in outdoor, UV-exposed, or chemically aggressive locations. Misapplying it in an exposed outdoor run voids the IEC certification basis and may fail over time as the nylon degrades.

The CCPLTR2228-X is a solid specification for three-phase medium-voltage cable distribution inside commercial switchgear rooms, data center power distribution halls, and protected industrial cable tray runs where IEC 61914 compliance is required and environmental conditions stay within the polymer's operating limits.
