Panduit CCPLTR4352-X Polymer Trefoil Cable Cleat Pack of 10

Overview

The Panduit CCPLTR4352-X is a glass-filled nylon trefoil cable cleat designed to secure and retain power cables in medium to high short-circuit fault environments where extreme chemical or mechanical exposure is not a primary concern. Certified to IEC 61914:2015 and tested up to 136kA peak fault current, this cleat is purpose-built for three-conductor trefoil cable arrangements on cable tray rungs. It arrives in a pack of 10 units, making it practical for multi-bay tray installations without piecemeal ordering. If you are specifying cable retention for industrial switchgear rooms, substation cable trays, or commercial electrical risers handling heavy three-phase runs, the CCPLTR4352-X is worth close evaluation.

Key Features

• IEC 61914:2015 Certification: This is the governing international standard for cable cleats. Compliance means the cleat has been independently tested — not just rated by the manufacturer — for short-circuit withstand performance. For any installation requiring documented fault-current retention, this certification is the threshold requirement. Without it, your cable management may not satisfy insurance or AHJ review.
• 136kA Peak Fault Current Rating: Tested to 136kA peak, this cleat handles fault currents well above what most commercial and light industrial installations will ever see. For medium-voltage distribution rooms or utility-adjacent switchgear where prospective fault levels are calculated in the tens of kiloamps, this margin provides genuine engineering confidence rather than guesswork.
• 43–52mm Trefoil Cable Diameter Range: Engineered specifically for cables with an outer diameter between 43mm and 52mm in trefoil configuration — the geometry used to minimize electromagnetic interference and inductive heating on high-current three-phase runs. If your cables are outside this range, a different Panduit cleat size is required; do not attempt to adapt a mismatched cleat to a short-circuit application.
• Glass-Filled Nylon Construction: The polymer body uses glass-reinforced nylon, which delivers structural rigidity under the electrodynamic forces generated during a fault event without the corrosion concerns of mild steel in damp plant environments. Rounded internal edges protect cable insulation from abrasion during installation and during cable movement under fault loading.
• Direct Cable Tray Rung Mount via M10 Bolt: Mounts directly through fixing holes onto standard cable tray rungs using a user-supplied M10 bolt — no proprietary fastener required. This keeps installation straightforward and means replacement hardware is always available on site. Confirm your tray rung accepts M10 fixings before ordering in volume.
• Black Nylon Color: The black finish suits both indoor electrical rooms and semi-exposed tray runs where UV exposure is limited. Nylon is not the correct material choice for heavily UV-exposed outdoor runs or chemically aggressive environments — in those conditions, a stainless or aluminum cleat should be specified instead.
• Pack of 10 Units: Supplied in a pack of 10, which aligns with the typical per-bay or per-section spacing requirements on a cable tray installation. Ordering in packs reduces procurement overhead on larger projects without forcing you into bulk carton quantities.

Integration and Compatibility

The CCPLTR4352-X (often searched as CCPLTR4352 X) is designed for trefoil cable configurations with an outer diameter of 43–52mm. It installs directly onto cable tray rungs via M10 bolts (user-supplied). It is not supplied with the fixing bolt — verify tray rung thread compatibility at design stage. The cleat is intended for less harsh environments; installations in areas with significant UV exposure, chemical splash, or submersion risk should be evaluated against Panduit's stainless or aluminium cleat offerings in the same cable management family. Competitor equivalents noted in sourcing data include KOZ TRI ECO 33-46, TR39-47, and TRIPLE 33-46 — verify diameter compatibility against your specific cable OD before substituting. For broader Panduit cable infrastructure products, cross-reference the full wire routing and management line.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What cable diameter range does the CCPLTR4352-X accommodate?

A: The CCPLTR4352-X is rated for trefoil cable outer diameters from 43mm to 52mm (approximately 1.69 to 2.05 inches). Cables outside this range require a different cleat size — do not force a fit in short-circuit applications.

Q: What fault current level has the CCPLTR4352-X been tested to?

A: The cleat has been tested up to 136kA peak fault current per IEC 61914:2015. This test is performed to confirm the cleat will retain cables under the electrodynamic forces generated during a high-magnitude short-circuit event.

Q: What standard does the CCPLTR4352-X comply with?

A: The CCPLTR4352-X is certified to IEC 61914:2015, the international standard governing cable cleats for electrical installations. Compliance requires independent testing for short-circuit retention performance.

Q: What fastener is needed to install the CCPLTR4352-X?

A: Installation requires an M10 bolt, which is user-supplied and not included in the pack. The cleat mounts directly to cable tray rungs through its fixing holes using this standard metric fastener.

Q: Is the CCPLTR4352-X suitable for outdoor or chemically aggressive environments?

A: No. The glass-filled nylon construction is rated for less harsh environments. For outdoor UV-exposed runs, chemical splash zones, or submersion risks, a metallic (stainless steel or aluminium) cable cleat should be specified instead.

Q: How many cleats are included per order?

A: Each order of the CCPLTR4352-X includes 10 cable cleats.

The CCPLTR4352-X sits in a part of the catalog that gets underspecified surprisingly often — engineers focus on the cable ampacity and conduit fill, then grab whatever cleat is on the shelf without checking whether it actually meets IEC 61914:2015 for their calculated prospective fault current. This cleat is tested to 136kA peak, which covers the vast majority of commercial and industrial MV distribution scenarios. If your fault study puts you anywhere below that threshold and you are running 43–52mm trefoil cables on open tray, this product closes the compliance gap cleanly.

Technical Highlights:

• 136kA Peak Fault Current: Tested — not just rated — to 136kA per IEC 61914:2015. On a medium-voltage switchgear room tray, prospective fault currents in the 40–80kA range are common; this cleat provides margin well above that without stepping up to stainless hardware.
• 43–52mm Trefoil Fit: The diameter band covers a broad range of 11kV XLPE cables used in commercial distribution — a 185mm² three-core cable typically lands around 46–49mm OD depending on insulation grade, which sits comfortably in the middle of this cleat's range.
• Glass-Filled Nylon Body: Structurally rigid enough to withstand fault-event electrodynamic forces, with rounded internal edges that eliminate the insulation damage risk you get from steel cleats on softer XLPE jackets during the initial install pull.

Deployment Considerations:

• The M10 bolt is not included — it sounds trivial but causes delays when installers discover this on the tray. Add M10 fixings to your bill of materials explicitly, and confirm the cable tray rung has adequate thread depth or that you are using a through-bolt with nut on the underside.
• Nylon has real limits: this is explicitly a less-harsh-environment product. A plant room with intermittent chemical wash-down, or an outdoor exposed tray run even with an IP-rated lid, is pushing the material beyond its design intent. In those cases, step up to Panduit's stainless steel cleat line rather than assuming the nylon will hold.

This cleat is the right specification for clean indoor cable tray runs in substation control rooms, commercial MV switchgear buildings, and industrial motor control centers where IEC 61914:2015 compliance is a contract or AHJ requirement and the environment stays dry and chemical-free.
