Southwire SW-JHK-21 6" Cable Support J-Hook, Holds 450 Cat 5E Wires

Perfect for running smaller batches of twisted pair wiring. I hate using the giant 2" J hooks to cradle 5 CAT6 wires, waste of money and too big. These J-Hooks are the perfect size for anything under 20 wires. I was able to use then recently for 24 CAT6 wires but had to use a zip tie to keep it all contained. I will be using these exclusively in the future for anything 20 and under (5 and 6).

Southwire SW-JHK-21 6" Cable Support J-Hook are a very useful piece of hardware for installing low voltage cable (especially ethernet Cat cable) to keep the cables secure as well as make cable runs neat and organized. The j-hooks are formed to minimize sharp edges. They are easily attached to walls, studs, joists or ceilings with screws (recommend pan head screws). The j-hooks can be repositioned if needed, even if cables are in them as long as they are not crammed full. The rollers are in a separate bag so they can be installed after cables are laid in the j-hooks, and the rollers work if having to thread more cable through the j-hook or keeping cables contained in j-hooks attached to a joist /ceiling. Even the simplest cable install looks great when these j-hooks are used. There are several sizes of j-hooks to fit different sizes or numbers of cables.

I used these to when retrofitting a lot of new CAT6 drops into my home. Rather than laying the cables on top of the insulation in my attic, I attached these brackets to all of the attic studs/trusses to create nice routes for the cables to run overhead in the attic space. I have much less concern now about people accidentally stepping on / damaging the cables in the attic if we need work done up there in the future.I had to spend a lot of time planning out the ideal cable routes in the attic and then and screwing these brackets into appropriate locations, but once that was done it made installing the actual cable much faster and yielded a clean well-organized result. The pins are easy to install but have good retention, and they're able to spin on their axis which makes them sort of act like a roller when pulling cable. The edges of the brackets are curved away from the inner surface and didn't snag or cut into my cables.I used almost all of the 50 pack of 2" hooks that I'd ordered, which surprised me... I didn't think I'd need so many, but I did! Good buy.

Came as shown and was delivered before expected date. Easy to install, plus it has a roller that can be removed and replaced at any time to help with pulling cable to secure them from falling out.

For what they are, I have always found J-hooks to be overpriced, then I found these, I was kind of skeptical at them being less than 1/2 the price of the other ones I have always used, but I was pleasantly surprised by their quality and strength. Another night thing is that instead of the plastic clips that like to break, these use a metal bar. My only complaint is that I had to give several of them a slight tap with a hummer so that the bar would stay in place.These will now be my go to J-Hook.

I was a little wary of these due to price - I was looking for something quick and cheap to mount some cable. I tried quite a few cheaper cable-mounts for running cat-6 and sprinkler cable, but finally broke down and got these since the cheaper mounts did not work well due to flimsy metal or odd mounting or poor cable seating.After running these, I wish that I had started with these. The screw hole is placed well, such that the hook does not block the screwdriver. The snap-in holding bar works great, holding the cable in place once installed, but also easy to insert in or remove (you push the metal J-hook out and pop the bar into the two holes in the metal). The metal is thick, just flexible enough to pop-in the bar but not so flimsy that the bar would pop out on its own.I can't comment on rust if they were used outside, but for indoor running of cable between joists in an enclosed area, they seem ideal now that I have tried a few alternatives.

The clips are easy to install and hold easily the 8 CAT6 runs I have in each.The lock bar is easy to installIt's worth noting these do not include any screws for mounting, you need to source separately

Purchased to run Ethernet cables in attic, worked great. No issues at all. No wire keeper, but wires shouldn’t be pulling up and out anyways. Attached with spax screws, very solid
