ABSTRACT:
A one-piece cable support having a box-shaped mounting assembly. The box-shaped mounting assembly extends over a cable tray portion of the cable support and includes several optional mounting apertures. Once secured to a building structure through the box-shaped assembly, the weight of a suspended bundle of cables is distributed evenly below the box-shaped assembly, thereby permitting the load to be balanced evenly below the assembly and reducing the bending moment and therefore the stress on the wall portion connecting the cable tray and mounting assembly portions of the support. A bracket assembly is provided on the bottom of the cable support to allow easy ganging of multiple cable supports without the need for specialized brackets. Stiffeners are included on the cable support to improve the withstanding of bending forces. A cable retaining arrangement secures cable bundles within the support.
