Panduit CLT100F-C3 Corrugated Loom Tubing
The Panduit CLT100F-C3 delivers industrial-grade abrasion and impact protection for cable bundles in commercial security, datacenter, and AV installations. This 100-foot roll of 0.917" inside-diameter slit-wall corrugated tubing solves a recurring field problem: protecting pre-terminated harnesses or adding crush resistance to existing cable runs without disconnecting endpoints. The longitudinal slit lets you snap cables into place and secure with cable ties—no fishing, no re-termination. For integrators running camera trunk lines through equipment rooms, conduit transitions, or behind-rack verticals where cable rub and fork-truck impact are real risks, this tubing adds a mil-spec aesthetic and a layer of physical defense that heat-shrink and spiral wrap can't match.
Key Features
- Slit-wall design installs onto pre-assembled harnesses without disassembly
- 0.917" (23.29mm) inside diameter accommodates moderate cable bundles
- 100-foot continuous length reduces splice points and simplifies large installations
- Polyethylene construction resists moisture, oils, and common cleaning solvents
- UL 94 HB flammability rating for indoor commercial environments
- High-visibility orange for code compliance and safety marking
- Corrugated profile maintains flexibility while providing crush resistance
- RoHS compliant for federal and municipal contract work
The corrugated wall structure gives this tubing a mechanical advantage over smooth-wall alternatives. Each ridge acts as a crumple zone, distributing point loads across the tubing's length rather than transmitting impact directly to the cable jacket. The 0.917-inch inner diameter fits bundles up to about 3/4-inch diameter—typical for a six- to eight-conductor security trunk or a small Ethernet/power combo. The polyethylene formulation holds up to temperatures as high as 122°F (50°C), well within range for HVAC plenums, equipment closets, and non-conditioned spaces in moderate climates. The UL 94 HB rating means it meets the Horizontal Burn test for self-extinguishing behavior; while not plenum-rated, it's appropriate for general-purpose indoor runs where NEC Article 300 or 725 applies.
Installation is straightforward: route your cable bundle, open the slit with your fingers, press the cable into the tubing, and close the slit around it. For permanent retention, apply a cable tie every 12 to 18 inches; Panduit's Pan-Ty or equivalent zip ties lock the slit closed and anchor the assembly to rack rails, cable tray, or J-hooks. The 100-foot length is a sweet spot for mid-sized projects—long enough to minimize waste on distributed camera systems (think hallway runs or parking-structure verticals) but manageable enough to handle solo. The orange color serves double duty: it satisfies OSHA and ANSI visibility requirements for low-voltage pathway marking, and it makes QA walkthroughs easier when you need to trace protected vs. unprotected segments.
This tubing is a fit for security integrators pulling PoE camera trunk cables through congested ceiling grids, datacenter techs protecting fiber and copper patch runs near floor-mounted PDUs, and AV installers running shielded display cables behind millwork where staples and sharp edges threaten jacket integrity. Panduit backs the CLT100F-C3 with the same engineering rigor that drives their category-rated copper and fiber programs—material traceability, batch testing, and a supply chain that supports GSA Schedule and ITAR-controlled projects. For jobs where cable protection isn't optional and retrofit efficiency matters, this corrugated loom tubing delivers the durability and install speed commercial projects demand.
