Notes to Table 1A:

  1. The dimensions listed in the cable range represent the diameter across the outermost layer of each cable (e.g. outer sheath).  For application assistance with other cable configurations, contact Talon Products.
  2. In addition to securing three cables, Talon T3 cable cleats may be used to secure two cables positioned side-by-side (i.e. no cable in the upper position), or a single cable.
  3. Other Talon cable cleat frame sizes are available on request.

Notes to Table 2:

  1. Talon® cable cleat part numbers consist of 17 characters, including 3 dashes. Asterisks are for information only and are not included in the part number.
  2. * = Talon® cable cleat frame sizes normally in stock and available through Talon Products’ Rapid Ship Program.
  3. Talon® cable cleats have passed rigorous 3rd party testing in accordance with ASTM B117, IEC 60695, IEC 61914, ISO 4892-2, UL 94, UL 969 and UL 2239.
  4. Talon® cable cleats are molded from high-strength polyamide that is electrically insulating, flame resistant, UV resistant, low smoke, zero-halogen and resistant to drilling mud, gaseous atmospheres, salts and many other chemicals.
  5. Talon® cable cleats secure cables subject to lateral and torsional forces and provide axial strain relief for vertical and horizontal cables. Additionally, Talon® cable cleats utilizing the F1 heavy duty frame are designed and tested to protect cables from mechanical damage resulting from short circuits. Talon® cable cleats utilizing the F0 frame are product samples only and may not be placed into service. Talon® cable cleats may be used with high voltage, medium voltage and low voltage cables.
  6. Talon® cable cleats include integral stainless steel gripping bolts that are held captive in the base for ease of installation. Talon® cable cleats typically do not require additional mounting hardware when simultaneously enclosing cables and their support rung (i.e. in ladder-type cable tray). For wall mounting or other mounting preferences, auxiliary mounting hole(s) are included in the base. Mounting hardware for wall mounting or other mounting preferences is customer furnished.
  7. Talon® cable cleats accommodate box, elliptical, hat, I-beam, oval, rectangular, round, square and channel strut rung profiles from most ladder-type cable tray manufacturers. Unless “R00” is specified, each Talon® cable cleat includes an adhesive-backed neoprene rung spacer that compresses slightly during installation. Refer to Table 3 for rung spacer selection. For mounting information, refer to the Talon® T3 Cable Cleat Installation Guide.
  8. “000” = Standard product (no custom features required). Other 3-digit Custom Feature part numbers are assigned by Talon Products.

Notes to Table 3:

  1. Rung spacers are utilized for rungs or strut profiles with depth ≤ 27.4 mm (1.08 in).
  2. For rung or strut depth > 28.6 mm (1.125 in), secure cable cleat to top of rung or strut and select R00 part number.
  3. For rung or strut depth < 15.0 mm (0.59 in), contact Talon Products.
  4. For rung or strut width > 45.7 mm (1.8 in), secure cable cleat to top of rung or strut and select R00 part number.
  5. For other cable tray brands and models, correlate the rung dimensions to the respective rung spacer or contact Talon Products.
