A useful IEC 61914 cable cleat purchase specification identifies the complete assembly and the installation it must restrain. Record the cable formation, outside diameter, fault duty, support and model-specific evidence before comparing quotations.
Cable formation illustration. Use the approved project drawing to define the actual arrangement.
Cable cleat RFQ specification template
Copy these fields into the Requirements box of your inquiry. Record peak and RMS current separately, and identify who will confirm any missing design data.
| Field | What to provide |
|---|---|
| Cable formation | Single / trefoil / quad / other; attach the section drawing. |
| Cable outside diameter | Diameter of every cable in mm, including any unequal sizes. |
| Fault duty | Peak current in kA; RMS current in kA; duration in seconds. |
| Installation geometry | Cleat spacing along the route, intermediate restraints and cable positions. |
| Support and orientation | Tray / ladder / bracket drawing; horizontal or vertical route. |
| Assembly | Proposed model, size, material, liner, closure and fixing hardware. |
| Environment | Temperature, moisture, salt, chemicals and specified non-metallic-part performance. |
| Procurement | Quantity by model, delivery destination, target date, packaging and required documents. |
Review the evidence against the quoted assembly
IEC 61914 specifies cable cleat requirements and tests. Electromechanical restraint is addressed where declared. A standard reference or stainless steel grade alone does not establish a short-circuit rating for a particular installation.
| Review item | Check against the installation |
|---|---|
| Model identity | Model and drawing revision match the proposed cleat, liner and fixing assembly. |
| Test arrangement | Cable diameter, formation, spacing, restraints and support correspond to the evidence. |
| Declared duty | Peak current, RMS current and duration are identified and suitable for the specification. |
| Differences | Changes in size, formation, support or spacing have an applicable documented assessment. |
Available Younxin documentation includes short-circuit reports for YY-T2405 and YY-Q3340, UV-aging documentation for FF-T3035 and needle-flame documentation for YY-T2405. Each document applies to its tested model and configuration. Request the applicable report and scope for the proposed supply through the cable cleat selection guide.
Send an order list that can be checked
For a distributor order, separate every model and size, with liners, mounting parts and pack labels. For an engineering package, add cable schedule and route references to each line. Use the report scope and drawing to review substitutes.
Need equipment matched to your project?
Compare the trefoil cable cleat with your diameter and mounting requirements, or browse cable cleats and clamps for other formations.
Cable cleat procurement questions
Is cable size in mm² enough?
No. Provide cable outside diameter in mm and the formation drawing. Conductor cross-section does not define the fit of the complete cable.
Can a trefoil test result be used for a quad arrangement?
Confirm applicable evidence or a documented assessment for the proposed four-cable arrangement. Do not transfer the rating from the photograph or product name.
What if fault data or spacing is unknown?
Mark it as “to be confirmed” for an initial model review. Final restraint requirements and installation details need the project design data and applicable evidence.
For the formation comparison, read single vs trefoil vs quad cable cleats. For standard scope and edition information, see the official IEC 61914:2021 publication.
