The invention is concerned with a bracket for hanging a multi-tap directional coupling device from a suspended wire, such as a strand running between poles on a street, and for grounding a plurality of support wires each of which extends along a respective cable, connected to the coupling device, for supporting same, the support wires each having a terminal end and a connecting portion contiguous thereto. The hanger bracket of the invention comprises an elongated member having a first end portion adapted to be detachably coupled to the coupling device, a second end portion provided with clamp means for releasable clamping engagement with the suspended wire, and a portion intermediate the first and second end portions defining a grounding plate. A separate fastener means is associated with each support wire for releasably securing the connecting portion thereof against the grounding plate whereby to provide a common ground for all the support wires. Preferably, the grounding plate is provided with a separate wire end retention means associated with each fastener means for retaining the terminal end of each support wire whereby to allow the connecting portion of each support wire to be bent about its associated fastener means while the terminal end thereof is retained captive by the associated wire end retention means, prior to the connecting portion being secured by its associated fastener means.
