The TC 8-12/30 cable clip from the Thorsman series by Schneider Electric is a mounting component for installing round cables indoors. It is specifically designed for cables with a diameter of 8 to 12 mm and is supplied with an integrated nail, enabling secure fastening to various substrates. The clip is made of impact-resistant polypropylene (PP) and is UV-resistant, making it suitable for indoor use even with potential sunlight exposure. The nail is made of hardened, electroplated steel, with a diameter of 2 mm and a length of 30 mm. The installation depth is 19 mm, allowing secure mounting even in limited space conditions.
Cable clip is the product type used here to secure round cables to walls, ceilings, or other substrates. The clip features a clip function that allows the cable to be held securely without requiring additional tools. This simplifies installation and ensures stable fastening. The clip is light grey in colour (NCS 2502-Y), ensuring discreet integration into typical indoor installations.
Round cable is the cable type for which the clip is designed. The fastening is achieved by driving the nail into the substrate, while the clip encloses and secures the cable. The materials are selected for high resistance to heat, cold, and acid exposure. The operating ambient temperature ranges from -40 °C to +80 °C, enabling use in various indoor conditions. The clip is suitable for atmospheric/corrosivity category C2, indicating low to moderate corrosion exposure.
Polypropylene (PP) is the material of the clip, known for its impact resistance and weather resistance. The UV resistance ensures that the clip does not discolour or degrade when exposed to sunlight over extended periods. The nail, made of hardened, electroplated steel, provides high mechanical strength and prevents breakage during installation. The clip is halogen-free, which is advantageous when selecting installation components for sensitive environments.
The clip is supplied in a pack of 100 pieces, each pre-fitted with a nail. The packaging unit BB1 contains 100 pieces and measures 12.5 cm in height, 8 cm in width, and 6 cm in length. The product weight is 0.0013 kg per clip. Installation is performed by simply driving the nail into the substrate, whereupon the clip automatically secures the cable. The clips are versatile and cover multiple cable cross-sections, simplifying selection and storage.
Indoor installation is the intended application area, where the clip is suitable for dry, non-aggressively corrosive environments. The clip is not intended for outdoor use, as no specific IP protection rating is specified. It is typically used in electrical installations where secure and durable cable fastening is required. The clip is part of a comprehensive range of mounting components in the Thorsman series, which includes various designs and colours.
The clip is designed for simple and quick installation. The clip function allows the cable to be secured without additional tools or accessories. The material's impact resistance ensures the clip remains undamaged even under mechanical stress during installation or operation. The UV resistance prevents material ageing due to sunlight exposure, extending the clip's service life.
Compatibility is specified for round cables with a diameter of 8 to 12 mm. The clip is not designed for other cable types or diameters. The use of nails with a diameter of 2 mm and a length of 30 mm ensures secure fastening in common substrates such as plasterboard, wood, or plaster. The clip is not intended for use in damp or aggressively corrosive environments, as the corrosivity category C2 only allows for low-level exposure.

The clips are versatile and cover multiple cable cross-sections, simplifying selection and storage.
The warranty period is 18 months, underscoring the product's reliability and quality. The clip is designed for simple and quick installation. The clip function allows the cable to be secured without additional tools or accessories. The material's impact resistance ensures the clip remains undamaged even under mechanical stress during installation or operation. The UV resistance prevents material ageing due to sunlight exposure, extending the clip's service life.
Applications include securing round cables indoors, particularly in electrical installations where secure and durable fastening is required. The clip is suitable for dry, non-aggressively corrosive environments. It is typically used in residential and commercial buildings where cable installation on walls or ceilings is necessary. The clip is not intended for outdoor use, as no specific IP protection rating is specified.
Functions and equipment in detail include the clip function, which enables the cable to be held securely, and the use of a nail made of hardened, electroplated steel. The clip is made of impact-resistant polypropylene and is UV-resistant. The colour is light grey (NCS 2502-Y), ensuring discreet integration into typical indoor installations. The clip is halogen-free, which is advantageous when selecting installation components for sensitive environments.
Technology explained simply demonstrates that the clip offers high mechanical strength and weather resistance due to its materials and design. The polypropylene provides impact resistance and UV resistance, while the hardened steel nail ensures secure fastening. The clip function enables easy installation without additional tools. The clip is designed for an operating temperature range of -40 °C to +80 °C, allowing use in various indoor conditions.
