Panduit CLTS38F-C 10mm Corrugated Solid-Wall Cable Loom
The Panduit CLTS38F-C delivers impact and abrasion protection for bundled cable runs in commercial security, datacenter, and AV installations. This 100-foot corrugated polyethylene loom features a 10mm inner diameter and solid-wall construction that resists crushing while maintaining flexibility for routing through tight spaces. Mount it with push-mount cable ties, adhesive backing, or push-mount bases depending on your substrate and accessibility requirements. Designed for interior applications where cable protection is essential but conduit rigidity would complicate installation.
Key Features
- 10mm (0.38") inner diameter accommodates small-gauge bundles - Cat6, 18/2 alarm wire, coax
- 100-foot continuous length minimizes splices on long horizontal or vertical runs
- Solid-wall corrugated design resists crushing loads while remaining flexible for bends
- Polyethylene construction withstands 50°C operating temperature and meets UL94-HB flammability rating
- Three mounting options: push-mount ties, adhesive, or screw-mount bases for diverse substrates
- RoHS compliant for installations requiring environmental certifications
The corrugated profile provides structural rigidity without the weight and installation overhead of metal conduit. The 10mm ID suits low-voltage security bundles - think door contacts, motion sensors, camera PTZ control leads, or audio distribution runs where physical protection is required but EMI shielding isn't. The polyethylene material resists common building chemicals, won't corrode in damp environments, and maintains flexibility across temperature swings. Wall thickness and corrugation depth are engineered to handle incidental contact from maintenance carts, foot traffic on exposed runs, or compression behind access panels. Push-mount tie compatibility means you can secure the loom every 18-24 inches with standard Panduit or Thomas & Betts ties without drilling - critical in finished spaces or where you're routing along existing cable trays.
Integrators deploy this loom in three common scenarios: ceiling-to-device drops where cables exit J-hooks or cable tray and become vulnerable to snagging, vertical risers in open-frame racks or IDF closets where cables run alongside sharp sheet metal, and exposed horizontal runs across warehouse ceilings or above drop-tile grids where maintenance activity creates abrasion risk. The 100-foot length covers most floor-to-floor rises in two- or three-story buildings without splicing, and the black finish blends into typical commercial infrastructure. For retrofits, you can slit the loom lengthwise with a utility knife, insert existing cables, and secure it closed with cable ties - no need to re-terminate. The corrugated structure also provides a natural cable-count indexing aid - each valley can represent a cable pair or service type, simplifying troubleshooting on dense multi-service runs.
UL94-HB flammability rating and RoHS compliance meet baseline commercial building codes for non-plenum interior spaces. The 50°C maximum operating temperature suits standard HVAC environments but rules out direct-sun outdoor exposure or proximity to heat-generating equipment. Pair this loom with Panduit's push-mount bases (PMB series) for tool-free mounting on drywall or wood framing, or use it with standard cable ties on ladder rack or wireway. The solid-wall construction prevents cable snagging during pulls and eliminates the need for separate inner liners, cutting installation time on multi-drop access-control or surveillance camera trunk runs where protection and speed both matter.
