Panduit CLT25F-C3 Corrugated Slit Loom Tubing 100ft Orange
Overview
The Panduit CLT25F-C3 is a 100-foot roll of .25-inch (6.35mm) slit corrugated loom tubing in orange, designed for protecting wire bundles and pre-assembled harness assemblies from abrasion and crush impact in indoor environments. The longitudinal slit lets you snap the tubing onto an existing run without disconnecting terminations — a meaningful time saver when retrofitting or expanding a cable bundle mid-route. Panduit's wire routing and management line covers the full range of pathway and protection solutions, and the CLT25F-C3 fits cleanly into structured wiring installations where visual color-coding or after-the-fact bundle protection is needed.
Key Features
- Slit-Wall Design: The continuous longitudinal slit lets you install the tubing over a pre-assembled harness without dismantling connectors or re-pulling cable — directly reduces labor time on retrofit jobs and panel upgrades.
- Crush and Abrasion Resistance: Corrugated polyethylene construction resists impact and abrasion along cable runs routed through enclosures, trays, or tight conduit paths where bare jacket wear is a real concern.
- 0.281-inch Inside Diameter: The 0.281" (7.14mm) ID accommodates small wire bundles, control wiring, and sensor leads — size this correctly; it is not suited for larger multi-conductor bundles without transitioning to a wider CLT variant.
- 100-Foot Roll Coverage: At 100 ft (30.48m) per roll, one unit of CLT25F-C3 covers a full equipment room run or a substantial segment of a modular cable tray layout without mid-roll splices.
- 122°F (50°C) Maximum Temperature Rating: Rated for standard indoor ambient conditions. Not appropriate for high-heat enclosures, near heat-generating equipment without clearance, or any outdoor exposure.
- UL 94 HB Flammability Rating: Meets the horizontal burn standard — suitable for general-purpose indoor wiring environments. If your application requires a more stringent V-0 or V-2 rating (e.g., plenum or high-density panel work), specify accordingly before ordering.
- RoHS Compliant: Meets EU RoHS requirements, making it appropriate for projects with environmental compliance documentation requirements.
- Orange Color Coding: Orange jacket supports visual differentiation of cable categories or circuit types within a panel or wire tray — directly useful in multi-system installations where security, power, and data wiring share pathways.
Integration & Compatibility
The CLT25F-C3 (often searched as CLT25F C3) is secured in place using standard cable ties and Panduit loom clip accessories — no proprietary fasteners required. Competitor cross-reference: replaces part 04-SL.250-O for procurement teams standardizing on a single supplier. The tubing is compatible with any application requiring lightweight, flexible bundle protection at the .25-inch diameter range. Pair with appropriately rated cable ties from Panduit's cable tie catalog for a complete wire management solution. For broader routing and pathway options, browse wire management accessories. For security system wiring applications, consider reviewing our IP camera and access control installation guides where cable protection requirements are detailed.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the inside diameter of the CLT25F-C3?
A: The inside diameter is 0.281 inches (7.14mm), suitable for small wire bundles and control wiring runs.
Q: Can the CLT25F-C3 be used outdoors?
A: No. The CLT25F-C3 is rated for indoor applications only, with a maximum temperature of 122°F (50°C). Outdoor or high-heat environments require a different product.
Q: Does the slit stay closed once installed?
A: The corrugated slit wall holds its shape around a cable bundle but should be secured with cable ties or Panduit loom clips at regular intervals to prevent the tubing from opening under movement or vibration.
Q: Is the CLT25F-C3 RoHS compliant?
A: Yes. The CLT25F-C3 meets RoHS compliance standards, making it appropriate for projects with environmental documentation requirements.
Q: What is the flammability rating?
A: UL 94 HB — a horizontal burn standard for general-purpose indoor use. If your project requires V-0 or V-2 rated tubing (plenum or high-density panel work), specify a different product before ordering.
Q: How many feet are in one package?
A: Each package contains one roll of 100 feet (30.48 meters) of tubing.
The CLT25F-C3 is the product I reach for when a panel retrofit comes up and re-pulling cable is off the table. That slit design means you can dress an existing harness in minutes without breaking any terminations — at a 0.281-inch ID, it fits neatly over the small-gauge bundles typical in security panel wiring and sensor leads.
Technical Highlights:
- 0.281" Inside Diameter: Sized for small control wire bundles; confirm your bundle OD clears 7.14mm before ordering — going too tight binds the slit open.
- UL 94 HB / 122°F Max: Adequate for conditioned indoor equipment rooms; this is NOT a plenum-rated or high-temp product — keep it away from heat sources and verify with your AHJ if the installation is in a return-air plenum.
- 100ft Roll / RoHS: A single roll covers most single-rack or single-panel dressing jobs without a splice; RoHS documentation is available for compliance submittals on government or EU-destined projects.
Deployment Considerations:
- Secure at 12–18 inch intervals with cable ties; unsecured slit tubing will gap open on vertical runs or anywhere vibration is present.
- Orange is useful for circuit identification in mixed-system panels, but verify your facility's color-coding standard before specifying — orange is sometimes reserved for fiber or specific power circuits in structured cabling plans.
Best fit for indoor security panel wiring retrofits, access control head-end enclosures, and sensor harness protection in climate-controlled equipment rooms where a quick, no-re-pull installation and color-coded organization matter more than outdoor or high-temp ratings.
