The TC 5-7/20 cable clip from Schneider Electric belongs to the Thorsman series and is specifically designed for the installation of round cables. It is used for the secure fastening of cables with a bundle diameter between 5 mm and 7 mm to solid substrates indoors. The product consists of a clip made of polypropylene (PP) and a nail made of electroplated, hardened steel. The clip is available in Grey (NCS 5402-Y), has a length of 20 mm and an installation depth of 12 mm. The nail diameter is 1.2 mm. The clip holds securely on the cable, simplifying installation and enabling precise positioning.
Applications
The TC 5-7/20 cable clip is intended for indoor use and is suitable for securing round cables in electrical installations, such as in residential and commercial buildings. It is particularly suitable for applications requiring robust and durable fastening without the need for additional brackets or screw connections. The clip is designed for cable cross-sections of 5 to 7 mm, making it usable for a wide range of standard cables.
Functions and Features in Detail
The clip is made of impact-resistant polypropylene (PP), which is UV-resistant and halogen-free. This material combination ensures high resistance to environmental influences such as sunlight, temperature fluctuations, and chemical exposure. The nail made of hardened, electroplated steel provides high strength and prevents breakage under load, instead bending. This increases safety during installation and prevents the clip from detaching under mechanical stress.
Technology Explained Simply
The clip operates on the principle of self-retaining fastening: the clip encloses the cable and holds it securely in place through its shape and elasticity, while the nail is driven into the substrate. The combination of PP clip and steel nail ensures a stable connection that remains secure even under mechanical loads such as vibrations or tensile forces. The UV resistance of the material prevents discoloration or material degradation due to sunlight, extending the clip’s service life. The operating temperature range is from -40 °C to +80 °C, enabling use in a wide range of indoor environments.
Compatibility and Accessories
The TC 5-7/20 cable clip is specifically designed for round cables with a diameter of 5 to 7 mm. It includes a nail with a diameter of 1.2 mm, suitable for fastening to wood, drywall, or other appropriate substrates. The clip is part of the Thorsman series, which offers various versions and colours. As an alternative, the TC5-7 1 cable clip (manufacturer part number 2021012) is available, featuring similar technical characteristics.
Installation and Mounting
Installation is performed by simply placing the clip onto the cable and then driving the nail into the substrate. The clip holds securely on the cable, enabling precise positioning. The installation depth of 12 mm ensures secure anchoring of the nail. The clip is designed for indoor use and requires no additional tools or accessories for installation.
Operational Advantages
The TC 5-7/20 cable clip provides reliable and durable fastening of round cables. The combination of impact-resistant PP clip and hardened steel nail ensures high mechanical stability. UV resistance and temperature resistance from -40 °C to +80 °C allow long-term use in various indoor environments. The self-retaining property of the clip simplifies installation and reduces mounting time. The clips are supplied in a pack of 100, making them suitable for larger installations. The warranty period is 18 months.
