PANDUIT Adhesive Backed Latching Wire Clip
In today’s densely populated data centers, telecommunications rooms, and enterprise networking environments, efficient cable management is more than a convenience—it’s a critical factor in reliability, cooling efficiency, and serviceability. The PANDUIT Adhesive Backed Latching Wire Clip is designed to simplify cable routing and organization without drilling or permanent mounting. Panduit has a long-standing reputation for cabinet, rack, and cable management systems that address power, cooling, space, and cable routing challenges. This adhesive-backed, latching wire clip is a compact yet essential tool in the spectrum of Panduit’s solutions, making it an excellent choice for clean, scalable, and maintenance-friendly installations. By keeping cables neatly separated and securely in place, these clips contribute to reduced energy consumption by lowering friction and improving airflow within cabinets and cable trays. They’re engineered to accommodate a range of cable diameters and configurations, enabling technicians to create tidy, professional-looking installations that stand up to the rigors of data center environments. Whether you’re retrofitting an aging rack or deploying a new cabinet infrastructure, these clips are designed to streamline cable pathways, minimize clutter, and simplify future changes or migrations. The adhesive backing makes mounting fast and drill-free, allowing quick deployments in tight spaces, behind equipment, or along vertical cable managers where mounting options are limited. With a latching design, cables can be easily added, rearranged, or removed as networks evolve, while the clip mechanism keeps cables secured and protected from accidental movement. This combination of adhesive-backed installation, a secure latch, and Panduit’s commitment to high-quality cable management products makes the Adhesive Backed Latching Wire Clip a versatile solution for data centers, enterprise IT rooms, and any environment requiring orderly, accessible, and scalable cable organization. By choosing this clip, you’re investing in a practical, maintenance-friendly approach to cabling that reduces downtime, improves airflow, and supports better overall system performance. The result is a neater, more professional cabinet or rack configuration that not only looks better but delivers tangible operational benefits over the life of the installation. In short, this clip helps you protect and manage cable assets, improve serviceability, and maintain the design integrity of your structured cabling deployment.
- Secure, drill-free mounting with an adhesive backing lets you install the clip quickly on cabinet walls, racks, or vertical cable managers. The design accommodates typical cable densities found in data centers and enterprise IT rooms, enabling tidy, organized routing without drilling or hardware changes. The latch mechanism provides a reliable hold while still allowing easy access for reconfigurations, upgrades, or routine maintenance, so technicians can adjust pathways as networks evolve. This combination of fast installation and flexible reusability makes it ideal for temporary or long-term cabling layouts, reducing downtime during changes and improving overall workflow in busy IT environments.
- Latching mechanism offers a secure grip for cables while allowing straightforward release when rearranging or adding new runs. The clip is designed to maintain cable integrity by minimizing pinching and abrasion, which is especially important for high-density data cables or patch cords that require frequent re-routing. The latching action helps prevent accidental dislodgement due to door movement, equipment vibration, or airflow shifts, ensuring cables stay in place even in environments with temperature fluctuations and dynamic airflow. This feature supports cleaner cable hierarchies and faster changes during maintenance windows.
- Wide compatibility with a range of cable diameters and types makes this clip a versatile solution for mixed environments. It accommodates standard data cables, patch cords, power distribution cords, and auxiliary lines commonly found in server rooms, network closets, and telecom spaces. The clip’s channel and notch design guide cables neatly along defined paths, reducing strain on connectors and improving overall cable management aesthetics. By enabling consistent routing across multiple rows of equipment, the clip helps create uniform cable bundles that are easier to trace, inspect, and service.
- Durable materials and design tailored for indoor IT environments ensure long-lasting performance. The clip resists the wear and tear of routine IT operations, including routine cleaning and occasional exposure to elevated temperatures near equipment racks. The adhesive backing adheres to painted metal, powder-coated surfaces, and certain plastics, providing a robust hold without sacrificing surface finish. The net effect is a dependable, low-maintenance component that contributes to a cleaner, cooler, and more accessible cabling architecture in critical spaces where uptime is essential.
- Easy maintenance and reconfiguration support. Because cabling needs evolve with network upgrades and expansion, the clip is designed for straightforward repositioning and reuse. The combination of adhesive mounting and a reclosable latch means technicians can modify cable pathways without drilling new holes or purchasing additional mounting hardware. This flexibility is particularly valuable in growing data centers that frequently revise cabling corridors, patch panels, and front-of-rack configurations. The result is a scalable, future-ready cable management solution that aligns with Panduit’s broader portfolio of modular, easy-to-install products.

how to install PANDUIT Adhesive Backed Latching Wire Clip
- Prepare the mounting surface by cleaning it with a mild degreasing solution or isopropyl alcohol, then allow it to dry completely. A clean, dry surface ensures optimal adhesion and a secure bond for the lifetime of the installation.
- Identify the desired routing path for your cables. Plan for ease of access, cable bending radii, and airflow considerations to maintain performance and facilitate future changes.
- Peel away the protective backing from the adhesive side of the clip. Be careful not to touch the adhesive to avoid contamination that could reduce bond strength.
- Firmly press the adhesive-backed clip onto the chosen surface. Apply steady, even pressure for 15–30 seconds to ensure a strong initial bond. Avoid repositioning during the initial set to maximize adhesion.
- Route the cables into the clip’s channel and secure them under the latch. Verify that cables lie flat inside the channel without kinking or pinching, and ensure the latch fully engages to prevent accidental release during equipment movement or door operation.
- Allow the adhesive to cure according to the manufacturer’s recommendations before subjecting the clip to significant mechanical load or heat exposure. If in doubt, plan for a curing window to optimize bond strength, especially in high-traffic cabinets or in environments with higher vibration.
- Periodically inspect the installed clips as part of routine maintenance. Look for signs of adhesive aging or loosening and re-secure as needed to preserve cable organization and airflow efficiency.
