ProTect Cable Cleats are designed for trefoil cable applications requiring high short circuit withstand. The cleats feature a patented design that allows for rapid installation. The stainless steel frame offers protection against harsh environments. The frame is tightened using an M10 set screw and flange nut in A4 stainless steel. An integral polymeric liner cushions cables during short circuits. ProTect Cleats have been tested per the European standard for cable cleats and achieved a very heavy impact resistance classification and withstood over 135kA of electromechanical force at 300mm and 600mm cable spacing.

ProTect Cable Strap Data Sheet
ProTect Cable Cleats are available for trefoil cable applications where the highest levels of short
circuit withstand are required. The unique patented design allows rapid installation. The frame,
manufactured from 316L stainless steel, offers the ultimate protection against the harshest
environmental conditions. The frame is tightened and locked using a combination of M10 set screw
and flange nut in A4 stainless steel and screw head retainer in LSF Polymeric material (MDS01 data
sheet)*. To protect and cushion the cables during short circuit conditions, the cleat is supplied with an
integral LSF polymeric liner (MDS01 data sheet)*. UK Design Reg. No. 355854
ProTect Cleats are manufactured to specific cable diameters. Dimensional data is
