Tips on choosing, buying, and collecting CC-2 fixings at Communica.
CC-2 cable fixings, sometimes known as cable mounts or tie bases, provide a secure anchor point for cable ties to organise wiring in panels, racks, or enclosures. These plastic mounting blocks are essential for neat cable layouts in electronics, automation, commercial installations, and education settings across South Africa.
Popular with engineers, students, and maintenance teams, CC-2 fixings prevent cable strain, reduce clutter, and simplify later troubleshooting. Their common use spans:
Communica stores stock CC-2 mounts for use with standard nylon cable ties, and provide variations that suit both screw and adhesive mounting.
Knowing the mechanical dimensions and compatible fixes is the first step to reliable mounting:
| Parameter | Typical CC-2 Spec |
|---|---|
| Base Size | 19 x 19 mm |
| Mount Type | Screw ( 4mm) or Adhesive |
| Material | Nylon 66 (UL94V-2) |
| Cable Tie Width | Up to 5 mm |
| Operating Temp Range | -20 to +85 degreesC (typical) |
Always confirm your selected CC-2 product's datasheet for the most up-to-date specifications-sizing and mounting can vary by brand. Leading brands such as HellermannTyton and generic local lines are usually available through Communica's Cable Management category.
Spacing fixings correctly helps maintain easy access and reduces stress on wiring bundles-especially with South African summer temperatures impacting wire insulation flexibility.
Assume you're running a 2 m cable trunk across a control cabinet. For neat support, fixings every 200 mm are typical:
| Issue | Possible Cause | Remedy |
|---|---|---|
| Adhesive mount loses grip | Dirty/oily surface, high temperature, or wrong adhesive for material | Clean thoroughly, allow adhesive cure time, switch to screw-mount if persistent |
| Cable tie slips or base breaks | Too much tension or tie too wide | Use correct tie width, avoid over-tightening |
| Panel damage on screw install | Hole drilled too close to edge, overtightened screw | Drill pilot holes carefully, use shorter screws where needed |
CC-2 cable fixings and matching cable ties are regularly stocked at Communica's Samrand warehouse and Pretoria branch, with typical pack sizes of 100/500. For urgent projects, check real-time stock availability via Branches & Trading Hours, or buy online via the Cable Management category.
