The TC828-TB mounting plinth from Thomas + Betts is a mounting component specifically designed for cross-tie bundling of cables and conduits. It serves as a fixed mounting base for cable ties and enables structured and secure cable routing in technical installations, particularly in electrical and IT infrastructure. The design features a particularly low profile, making it ideal for limited mounting spaces or for use in enclosures and distribution boxes. Easy handling is supported by integrated entries for cable ties, allowing connection of the mounting elements without additional tools or complex preparations.

Mounting plinth for cross-tie bundling
The plinth is primarily designed for screw mounting, but can also be riveted as an alternative. This flexibility in mounting allows adaptation to different substrates and installation scenarios, such as metal structures or machine-building environments.

Cable ties and cross-tie bundling
The mounting plinth features four entries specifically designed for inserting cable ties. This arrangement enables cross-tie bundling, where multiple cable ties are installed in different directions to ensure stable and even securing of cable bundles. This design is particularly advantageous when multiple cable bundles need to be combined or branched at a single point, for example near distributors or control units.

Technology explained clearly
The low profile of the plinth reduces space requirements in the mounting area and minimizes the risk of cable contact or mechanical stress from adjacent components. The four entries are positioned to allow a cross-shaped arrangement of cable ties, resulting in more even load distribution on the bundle. This improves long-term stability of the fastening and reduces the risk of wear or loosening of the cable ties.

Compatibility and accessories
The plinth is part of the product range of premium cable ties from Thomas + Betts and is specifically recommended for use with these cable ties.

Mounting and installation
Mounting is done either by screwing or riveting. Installation is carried out on flat, stable substrates such as metal plates, enclosures, or machine structures.

Advantages in operation
The mounting plinth provides a reliable and durable fastening solution for cable bundles. The possibility of cross-tie bundling increases mechanical stability and enables better load distribution. The easy handling and low profile simplify installation in confined spaces and reduce mounting time. Use in combination with premium cable ties ensures high quality and long service life of the entire fastening solution.
