Cable Clips For Solar Industry

Features & Benefits

Stainless Steel – Ideal for PV cable management in Solar Construction. Stainless Steel is highly durable and is suitable for harsh environments
Certifications – Selected metal edge clips are cULus Listed to UL 1565 under File No. E136577 to meet installation application requirements
Ease of Installation – No tools required Low profile design allows the clips to be installed on the panel prior to shipment with no concern on clip becoming disengaged or preventing panels from laying flat (for MEC100-series, not applicable for MEC125 and MEC250)
Mounting Options – Options for 1 to 2 PV wires for routing wires parallel or perpendicular with reference to the solar frame 4-wire version clips provide an option for routing up to 4 wires parallel with reference to the solar frame

Solar Application Examples


Parallel Cable Orientation	Perpendicular Cable Orientation

Solar power technology has advanced impressively while also becoming less expensive. Getting PV panels installed is a perfect way to generate electricity without negatively impacting the environment.

Panduit conducts extensive testing to ensure product performance and under conditions that include high wind, high vibration, intense UV exposure, extreme temperatures, and corrosive atmospheres.
