The TC 18-22/45 cable clip from Schneider Electric belongs to the Thorsman series and is designed for the secure fastening of round cables in indoor environments. The product is specifically designed for cables with a bundle diameter between 1.8 cm and 2.2 cm. The clip consists of a polypropylene (PP) clip and a nail made of electroplated, hardened steel. The colour is light grey (NCS 2502-Y), providing good visibility and visual harmony in technical installations. The clip has a total length of 45 mm, an installation depth of 25 mm, and a nail diameter of 2.5 mm. The packaging unit contains 100 pieces per pack.

Applications

The TC 18-22/45 cable clip is intended for the installation of round cables in indoor environments. It is particularly suitable for applications in electrical installations where stable and durable cable fastening to walls, ceilings, or other substrates is required. The clip is suitable for use in environments with an atmospheric/corrosivity category C2, indicating a certain resistance to atmospheric influences and low corrosion loads.

Functions and Features in Detail

The clip features a clip property that allows it to sit independently on the cable without additional tools. The nail is designed to bend under load rather than break, providing higher safety under mechanical stress. The materials are designed for high mechanical load capacity: the polypropylene is impact-resistant and UV-resistant, ensuring a long service life even with prolonged exposure to sunlight. The nail made of hardened, electroplated steel provides additional strength and corrosion protection.

Technology Explained Simply

The clip is made of robust plastic (PP) that is resistant to mechanical shocks and UV radiation. This makes it suitable for indoor use, where it remains stable over long periods. The nail made of hardened steel ensures secure anchoring in the substrate. The combination of clip and nail enables simple and quick installation without requiring additional holders or fastening tools. The clip is halogen-free, which is advantageous during processing and disposal.

Compatibility and Accessories

The TC 18-22/45 cable clip is designed for round cables with a diameter of 18 to 22 mm. It is part of a comprehensive product family from the Thorsman series, which includes various clip types and nail strengths. The clips are available in different colours and sizes to meet various requirements in electrical installations. The clip is suitable for use with standard drill holes and nail tools.

Installation and Mounting

Installation is carried out by simply placing the clip onto the cable and then inserting the nail into the designated hole in the substrate. The nail is driven in using an appropriate tool (e.g. hammer). The clip holds independently on the cable, enabling precise positioning. The installation depth of 25 mm ensures secure anchoring in the substrate.

Operational Advantages

The clip offers high mechanical stability and is resistant to environmental influences such as temperature fluctuations (operating temperature from -40 °C to +80 °C), UV radiation, and mechanical loads. The use of polypropylene and hardened steel ensures a long service life and low maintenance. The self-holding clip function reduces installation time and increases accuracy during fastening. The clip is designed for indoor use and meets the requirements for safety and reliability in electrical installations.
