Panduit S15-50-C2 StrongHold Plenum-Rated Cable Tie

The Panduit S15-50-C2 is a 14.57-inch plenum-rated cable tie engineered for commercial security, telecom, and datacenter installations where code compliance and reliable bundling capacity matter. Built from nylon 6-6 with a 50-pound minimum tensile strength, this red StrongHold tie secures runs of CAT6A, fiber trunk, or low-voltage control wire in cable tray, J-hook arrays, and overhead plenum spaces. Sold in 100-piece packages, it bridges the gap between light-duty installer ties and industrial-grade stainless straps—delivering UL 62275 Type 2 compliance without the cost overhead of metal hardware.

Key Features

14.57 in (370 mm) length handles bundles up to 4 in diameter

50 lb (22.6 kg) minimum tensile strength for multi-cable runs

Nylon 6-6 construction resists UV degradation and temperature extremes (-40°F to +185°F)

UL 62275 Type 2, 21 compliant; plenum-rated (AH-2) for above-ceiling installation

Red colorization for phase identification, emergency circuits, or fire-alarm wire routing

One-piece molded pawl design—no separate locking clip to drop or fail

RoHS compliant for low-lead municipal and federal projects

100-count package; 1000-count master carton available for project staging

Nylon 6-6 delivers the mechanical properties commercial integrators rely on: high tensile strength per dollar, resistance to oils and cleaning solvents common in IT rooms, and a wide service temperature range that covers both Texas summer attics and Minnesota unheated parking structures. The S15-50-C2's 50-pound rating means you can strap six to eight CAT6A plenum cables or a mixed bundle of fiber, coax, and 18/2 alarm wire without risking field failure during pull tension or building movement. The one-piece pawl locks into a serrated ladder strap with an audible click—no fumbling with separate insert clips while balancing on a ladder. Unlike cheaper offshore ties that crack under HVAC vibration or UV exposure from skylight bleed, Panduit's 6-6 formulation maintains flexibility across its full temperature spec, reducing the brittleness failures that create service callbacks six months post-install.

Red colorization serves dual roles in commercial builds: it visually segregates fire-alarm and life-safety circuits from data or lighting runs during inspection walks, and it simplifies troubleshooting when a bundle holds multiple services. In datacenter hot-aisle containment or above-drop-ceiling telecom closets, you're often working in low light with a headlamp—red ties let you trace a specific circuit path without reading every cable jacket label. The 14.57-inch length is the workhorse size for trunk bundles in 4-inch ladder rack or vertical J-hook risers; it's long enough to cinch a fist-sized bundle snug but not so long that the tail becomes a snag hazard or requires trimming. Plenum rating (UL 62275 AH-2) is non-negotiable for above-ceiling spaces in jurisdictions enforcing NEC Article 770 and 800—standard PVC ties aren't legal there, and inspectors will red-tag the job. The S15-50-C2 clears that gate without requiring the premium you'd pay for Tefzel or stainless in environments where those materials aren't mandated.

UL 62275 Type 2, 21 certification confirms the tie meets the plenum flame-spread and smoke-generation limits required for air-handling spaces—a critical compliance checkpoint for any project pulling permits in the US or Canada. The nylon 6-6 polymer formulation delivers a -40°F to +185°F service range, covering unheated parking garage camera runs, rooftop telecom cabinets, and boiler-room access-control panels without material degradation. RoHS compliance satisfies the low-lead requirements common in municipal, university, and federal builds. The 100-count package size is economical for single-site installs; larger integrators running multi-floor projects can order the 1000-count master carton for staging and kitting without mid-job resupply runs. Competitor cross-reference: replaces Arlington AL-14-50-2-C and Caddy CT50400C2 in most applications.
