Overview

The ABB TC402 Cable Edge Solar Clip is a U-style cable management solution engineered for solar PV installations. Constructed from black acetal copolymer, this clip is optimized for outdoor environments with an operating temperature range of -65°C to 90°C (-85°F to 194°F). The TC402 securely manages cables parallel to solar panel frames, supporting a maximum cable diameter of 7.87mm (0.31 inches) and accommodating up to four #10 AWG solar PV control cables. Its U-style design ensures stable cable positioning, reducing movement and potential damage during high-wind conditions or thermal cycling. The clip’s acetal copolymer material provides UV resistance and long-term durability, making it ideal for residential and commercial solar installations. Installation requires no tools, enabling rapid deployment in the field. Compatible with standard solar panel frames, the TC402 enhances system aesthetics while maintaining cable integrity. This clip is part of ABB’s Installation Products portfolio, delivering reliable performance in demanding solar applications. The TC402 is specifically designed to handle the unique challenges of solar PV installations, where cables must remain securely positioned despite environmental stressors. The U-style configuration clamps cables tightly against the frame, preventing sagging or displacement that could lead to abrasion or electrical faults. The acetal copolymer material is inherently resistant to moisture, chemicals, and extreme temperature fluctuations, ensuring consistent performance in diverse climates. With a maximum cable diameter capacity of 7.87mm, the clip accommodates common solar PV control cables, including those used for grounding, monitoring, and communication. The ability to secure up to four #10 AWG cables in a single clip streamlines installation, reducing the number of components required and minimizing labor time. Additionally, the clip’s black color blends seamlessly with solar panel frames, maintaining a clean, professional appearance while protecting cables from UV degradation. The TC402 is tested and certified for outdoor use, meeting industry standards for durability and safety in solar applications.
