Panduit CLTS50F-C Solid-Wall Corrugated Loom Tubing
The Panduit CLTS50F-C delivers 100 feet of 1/2-inch solid-wall corrugated loom tubing for cable protection in structured cabling, surveillance, and industrial installations. Extruded from black polyethylene with a continuous corrugated profile, this conduit shields bundled cables from crush loads, impact damage, and surface abrasion in exposed routing paths. The 13mm internal diameter accommodates typical Cat5e/6/6A bundles, 18-22 AWG control wire groups, and small-gauge power feeds. UL94-HB flammability rating and RoHS compliance meet baseline commercial building codes for indoor cable management systems.
Key Features
- 1/2-inch (12.7mm) ID corrugated loom, 100-foot continuous length for long routing runs without splices
- Solid-wall polyethylene construction resists crush, impact, and abrasion in wall cavities, above-ceiling plenum access paths, and equipment racks
- Corrugated profile provides lateral flexibility for bend routing while maintaining longitudinal stiffness against collapse
- Secured via push-mount cable ties, adhesive-backed mounts, or Panduit push-type bases—no threading or post-install sleeving required
- UL94-HB flammability rating and 50°C maximum operating temperature for typical indoor commercial environments
- Black polyethylene finish blends into dark backgrounds in equipment closets, server rooms, and industrial control cabinets
Solid-wall loom tubing separates cable bundles from sharp edges, rough framing lumber, and foot traffic in accessible ceiling zones. The corrugated profile's alternating peaks and valleys create an air gap between the outer surface and the protected cables, distributing point loads across the tube rather than transmitting them directly to conductor jackets. Polyethylene's low coefficient of friction reduces cable pull tension during installation and allows bundles to shift slightly during building movement without jacket scuffing. The 13mm bore accepts up to four Cat6A cables, six Cat5e cables, or mixed groups of data, control, and low-voltage alarm wire. Installers cut to length with diagonal cutters or a utility knife, then secure the tubing every 18-24 inches using Panduit's strap-mount or adhesive-mount bases—the corrugated profile provides multiple attachment grooves without compressing the internal cables.
Field crews deploy CLTS50F-C in above-ceiling horizontal distribution, vertical riser pathways where EMT isn't code-required, and within equipment racks to bundle camera home-runs or access control door loops. The 100-foot coil minimizes mid-run splices on typical floor-to-IDF pulls in commercial tenant spaces. Pair with Panduit's PLM or PLC series push-mount bases for suspended-ceiling installations, or use standard cable ties through the corrugation valleys for surface-mounted routing. The UL94-HB rating satisfies NEC 300.22(C) for use in other spaces used for environmental air (above suspended ceilings) when bundled cables are individually rated for plenum use—it's not a substitute for plenum-rated cable, but protects compliant cables in those spaces. For integrators running surveillance camera home-runs, access control door wiring, or audiovisual signal bundles in exposed or semi-exposed paths, this loom tubing provides mechanical protection without the labor and material cost of rigid conduit systems.
