Panduit FCM2-A-T14 Flat Cable Mount Adhesive 2-In Wide, 200-Pack
The Panduit FCM2-A-T14 is a low-profile, re-enterable flat cable mount designed to secure flat cables, wires, and tubing directly to surfaces without fasteners or tools. The self-adhesive rubber base bonds to most clean interior surfaces — mounting takes seconds per clip, which matters when you are routing dozens of runs across a finished wall, equipment rack face, or control panel interior.
Overview
Built from polyamide 6-6 (PA 6-6), the FCM2-A-T14 handles the heat, chemical exposure, and mechanical stress common in light industrial and commercial interiors. At 56.4 × 25.4 mm overall, these clips accept flat cables up to 4.3 mm stack height, covering the vast majority of flat ribbon, data bus, and control wiring used in security, building automation, and access control panels. The re-enterable design means cables can be added or removed without destroying the mount — useful in phased installations or anywhere cable routes change over time. Available via Panduit wire management and routing products, these are sold in packs of 200 and cartons of 1,000.
Key Features
- Rubber Adhesive Base (56.4 mm wide): The broad footprint distributes pull-out load across a larger bond area than narrow-base clips — important when routing heavier flat cable bundles along vertical surfaces where gravity works against you.
- 4.3 mm Maximum Stack Height: Accommodates most standard flat ribbon and bus cables in a single clip. If your flat cable exceeds 4.3 mm, you will need a wider-opening mount — this spec is the primary selection checkpoint before ordering.
- Re-Enterable Clip Design: Open and re-route without removing or replacing the base. In phased security or AV installations where cable routes are finalized after infrastructure is in place, this prevents having to re-bond new mounts every time the design changes.
- Polyamide 6-6 Construction: PA 6-6 resists the temperatures and mild chemical environments typical of indoor electrical enclosures and commercial interiors — more durable than standard nylon at sustained elevated temperatures.
- UL Recognized (E136577) and RoHS Compliant: UL recognition satisfies listing requirements for use inside listed electrical equipment. RoHS compliance is table stakes for projects requiring EU directive conformance or enterprise procurement standards.
- 200-Unit Pack Quantity: Sized for project-scale use — enough for a mid-size run or a multi-zone access control installation in one order. Carton quantity of 1,000 available for larger deployments through wire routing and management accessories.
- Interior Use Rating: These mounts are specified for indoor environments. Do not deploy in wet, outdoor, or high-UV locations — the adhesive and material ratings do not cover those conditions.
Integration and Compatibility
The FCM2-A-T14 (often searched as FCM2 A T14) is designed for use with flat cable of any width up to the 4.3 mm stack height limit. Compatible with flat data cable, ribbon cable, and flexible conduit used in access control panel wiring, building automation, and security system cable runs. Competitor cross-reference: FC2.2AH4. Pair with Panduit cable ties or cable management hardware for bundled routing on longer runs.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the maximum cable stack height the FCM2-A-T14 supports?
A: The FCM2-A-T14 accepts flat cables up to 4.3 mm stack height. It is designed for any flat cable width up to 2 inches (25.4 mm).
Q: Can the FCM2-A-T14 be used outdoors?
A: No. The FCM2-A-T14 is rated for interior use only. The rubber adhesive base and PA 6-6 material are not specified for outdoor, wet, or high-UV environments.
Q: Is the FCM2-A-T14 re-enterable — can I open and re-route the cable?
A: Yes. The clip is re-enterable, so cables can be removed and re-routed without detaching or replacing the adhesive base mount.
Q: What certifications does the FCM2-A-T14 carry?
A: It is UL Recognized under file E136577 and RoHS compliant.
Q: What material is the FCM2-A-T14 made from?
A: Polyamide 6-6 (PA 6-6), a nylon variant that offers good heat and chemical resistance for commercial interior environments.
Q: How many units come in a package and what is the carton quantity?
A: Each package contains 200 units. The full carton quantity is 1,000 units.
The FCM2-A-T14 is one of those components that gets overlooked until an installer is 30 feet into a flat cable run and realizes nothing is holding it to the wall cleanly. The rubber adhesive base at 56.4 mm wide gives a genuinely strong bond on smooth interior surfaces — noticeably better pull resistance than the narrow-base clips you find in generic assortments — and the re-enterable clip means you are not committing the route permanently at the moment you stick the base down.
Technical Highlights:
- 4.3 mm Stack Height Limit: This is the one spec to verify before ordering. Standard flat ribbon and data bus cables in access control and building automation run well under 4.3 mm — but stacked or doubled flat cable runs can exceed it. Measure first.
- PA 6-6 Construction: Polyamide 6-6 holds up in electrical enclosure environments where standard nylon softens. Relevant if these are going near heat-generating equipment like panel power supplies or UPS modules.
- UL Recognized E136577: If the installation is inside a UL-listed enclosure or panel, this recognition keeps you compliant. Not a detail to skip on commercial or healthcare jobs with AHJ inspections.
Deployment Considerations:
- Surface prep matters with adhesive mounts — clean, dry, and smooth is non-negotiable. Porous drywall or textured paint will degrade bond strength significantly; consider mechanical anchors in those cases.
- Interior-only rating is a hard limit. These are not rated for any outdoor or wet-location use, and the rubber adhesive is not UV-stabilized — do not substitute them for rated outdoor cable management hardware even on covered overhangs.
The FCM2-A-T14 is the right call for finished interior spaces — server rooms, access control head-end closets, or clean commercial interiors — where you need a re-enterable, UL-recognized flat cable mount that installs without drilling and survives the thermal environment of an active equipment room.
