Panduit ACC38-AT-C0 Adhesive Cord Clip
The Panduit ACC38-AT-C0 is a high-temperature adhesive cord clip designed for permanent wire routing in commercial access control, security camera, and datacenter installations. Engineered for 0.38" (9.7 mm) bundle diameters, this weather-resistant clip provides tool-free cable management on non-metallic surfaces where traditional screw mounts aren't feasible. The high-performance acrylic adhesive bonds to painted metal, powder-coated enclosures, and smooth plastics commonly found in equipment racks and outdoor junction boxes. UL Recognized under ZODZ2.E136577, each clip supports clean, professional wire dress without drilling or hardware, reducing installation time on retrofit projects and preserving equipment warranties.
Key Features
- High-temperature acrylic adhesive for permanent bonding to enclosures and conduit
- 0.38" (9.7 mm) bundle capacity for Cat6, RG59, and 18-2 power wire
- Weather-resistant construction for outdoor camera and intercom runs
- UL Recognized (ZODZ2.E136577) and Canadian Recognized (ZODZ8.E136577)
- Black finish blends with security equipment housings
- 100-piece standard pack for mid-size deployments
The ACC38-AT-C0 uses a high-temp acrylic adhesive engineered for long-term bond strength on powder-coated surfaces—critical when mounting to camera housings, access control panels, or painted junction boxes where traditional fasteners would void IP ratings or compromise enclosure integrity. The 0.38" slot accommodates single Cat6 patch cables (0.28" typical outer diameter), 18-2 alarm wire bundles, or small coaxial runs without compressing the jacket or degrading signal performance. The clip's 10.2 mm profile keeps cables tight against the surface, preventing snag hazards on wall-mounted equipment and maintaining the 1" bend radius required by TIA-568.2-D for copper terminations. The weather-resistant polymer formulation remains stable across temperature swings in unconditioned telecom closets and outdoor-rated enclosures, avoiding the brittleness and adhesive creep issues seen with commodity ABS clips in plenum and direct-sunlight environments.
In retrofit access control projects, these clips solve the wire-dress problem on pre-finished door frames and mullions where drilling would damage architectural coatings, violate door warranties, or create moisture ingress points at threshold locations. Integrators use them to secure card reader and REX sensor pigtails along the inside of aluminum frames, keeping the 18-2 run concealed from the public side while meeting NEC 300.11 support requirements for exposed low-voltage wiring. For IP camera deployments, the clips manage Cat6 slack loops inside outdoor-rated junction boxes, preventing cable creep that stresses RJ45 terminations during seasonal expansion and contraction cycles. The black finish disappears against typical enclosure interiors and dark conduit, maintaining the clean aesthetic expected on corporate lobbies and government facilities. The 100-piece pack provides enough coverage for 8-12 camera drops with proper cable support spacing (every 12-18 inches per NEC guidelines), making it the right order quantity for small-to-mid-size projects without forcing bulk carton purchases that tie up inventory.
The ACC38-AT-C0 meets UL 94 V-2 flammability requirements under the ZODZ2.E136577 file, satisfying AHJ inspections for exposed cable management in commercial plenum spaces, and carries full RoHS compliance for installations subject to California Prop 65 or federal procurement environmental standards. For integrators managing wire dress on security panels, camera mounts, and access hardware without modifying finished surfaces or voiding equipment warranties, this clip delivers the holding force and environmental durability required on projects where adhesive failure or cable sag would trigger service callbacks.
