Armoured Cable Cleats

Armoured Cable Cleats for SWA & XLPE Power Cables — High Fault-Current Resistance Solutions

Avantar Armoured Cable Cleats are devices designed to secure XLPE and steel-wire armoured (SWA) power lines. They are made to IEC 61914 specifications and are able to withstand short-circuit fault currents up to 100 kA peak. They fit wire diameters from 20 mm to 120 mm. These studs are produced from aluminium alloy or stainless steel 316. They support cable runs over the long term, horizontally and vertically. Made in Guangdong, China Products are compliant with IEC 61914 and RoHS requirements. They are exported to 58 countries and are normally available within 5 to 10 business days.

What Are Armoured Cable Cleats?

These are heavy-duty cable connecting tools used to connect electrical lines to the cable trays, walls or structural supports. In case of short circuit, electromagnetic forces arrest the motion of the cable.

If the studs are not level, a fault current event might produce a lot of wire movement that can damage the cables and cause equipment failure or major safety hazards. Your installation and the persons working in it are protected by using goods certified to IEC 61914.

Key Features & Performance

Specific Design for Armoured Cable

You can use XLPE and SWA cable profiles with this cleat because of its shape. It gives a good grip all around without damaging the cable's top sheath or armour layer.

High Short-Circuit Withstand Capability

With a peak short circuit withstand capacity of up to 100 kA, the studs are strong enough for substations, heavy industrial power distribution and offshore installations.

Two Choices About Things

The mechanical strength of aluminium alloy is high, and it is lighter. Salt spray and corrosion don't hurt stainless steel 316 as much, so it's the best choice for sea and coastal settings.

UV Protection and Corrosion

The two options for materials are both made to work well outside, even in harsh weather and UV light.

Flexible Mountings

The M10 and M12 bolt mounting styles can be used with a wide range of structural support systems and can be used for both horizontal and vertical cable runs.

Technical Specifications

Applications

These armoured cable cleats are used across a range of demanding environments:

• Power substations — securing HV and MV cable runs at entry and exit points
• Heavy industrial plants — managing large-diameter power cables in steel facilities, refineries, and processing plants
• Renewable energy projects — cable management at wind farm substations and solar power stations
• Underground service entrances — fixing cables at building entry points and distribution boards
• Marine and offshore platforms — stainless steel 316 version handles salt spray and high-humidity conditions
• Infrastructure projects — tunnels, bridges, and transportation hubs requiring long-term cable stability

Custom Design Options

Cable diameters in standard catalogue sizes range from 20 mm to 120 mm, but your job may need a different size. For installations of armoured cables, Avantar lets OEM and ODM users make changes.

You can ask for custom cleat opening sizes to fit cable diameters that aren't normal. Depending on the site or project requirements, you can also change the material choice, surface finish, and bolt configuration.

If you have drawings or a technical datasheet for a marine-offshore tender, a substation project with specific fault-current ratings, or a renewable energy installation with specific structural needs, please send them to our team and we will let you know if the project is possible.

Certifications & Quality Assurance

Our Guangdong factory handles metal cutting, forming, surface finishing, and IEC 61914 performance testing in-house.

Products comply with: ISO 9001, CE, RoHS, IEC 61914. Each export shipment includes a certificate of origin and official IEC 61914 test reports.

For large tender projects, you can arrange third-party pre-shipment inspection by SGS, BV, or TÜV. Free samples are available for on-site fit and function testing before committing to volume orders.

How to Specify?

Step 1 — Identify your cable details

Note the cable outer diameter, cable type (XLPE or SWA), and the number of cables per cleat position.

Step 2 — Confirm the fault-current rating

Check your system's prospective short-circuit current. These cleats support up to 100 kA peak, suitable for most industrial and utility installations.

Step 3 — Choose your material grade

Use aluminum alloy for indoor substations, land-based industrial, and onshore renewable energy sites. Choose stainless steel 316 for coastal, marine, or offshore locations.

Step 4 — Select mounting configuration

Confirm whether your cable run is horizontal or vertical, and which bolt size (M10 or M12) matches your structural support.

Step 5 — Request a sample or quotation

Send your cable diameter, site environment, and quantity to our team. We will confirm the model, provide test documentation, and arrange samples if needed.

For sample requests, technical documentation or a project specific quotation please indicate your cable diameter range, installation environment and projected quantity. Our staff will get back to you with the correct model recommendation and available documentation.

FAQ

Q: What are the items needed for installing SWA and XLPE power cables and why?

A: These are high duty wire fitting tools specially built for XLPE and SWA power cable . They are designed to fulfil IEC 61914 requirements and give mechanical restraint and short-circuit resist performance to help maintain cables stable when strong electromagnetic fault-current forces are present. Short circuit power of up to 100 kA can be carried by cable widths from 20 mm to 120 mm.

Q: Are you a producer or a middleman?

A: We are a straight manufacturer in China's Guangdong province. We cut, shape, surface finish and test to IEC 61914 all under one roof. When you purchase directly from the manufacturer you can get a quicker technical analysis on projects for the marine, offshore and heavy industrial sectors.

Q: How can I choose between 316 stainless steel and aluminium alloy?

A: Aluminium alloy is low weight and sturdy, making it ideal for most indoor substations, land-based industrial regions and onshore renewable energy projects. 316 stainless steel is the finest choice for coastal locations, maritime platforms, and installations offshore where corrosion and salt spray are an issue.

Q: What sort of papers are in each shipment?

A: Each export order is accompanied by an official IEC 61914 test report and a certificate of origin. There is also documentation that demonstrates conformity to RoHS. For big tender projects, we may arrange third party pre-shipment inspections by SGS, BV or TüV.

Q: What is the minimum order quantity (MOQ) for standard items, and how long is the lead time?

A: You need to order at least 100 of each model. After an order is confirmed, standard catalogue items are made within 5–10 working days. Depending on the time frame of your project, you can choose between sea freight, air freight, and express courier.

Q: Do you offer free samples before I place a large order?

A: Yes. You can try free samples to see how they work. Before placing a big order, you can check the fit and function in person, look over IEC 61914 test reports, and ask for a video inspection of the finished goods.
