Questions & Answers

is the size of the ?

The screws are usually wood screws or drywall screws

Is there a UL listing for them? Although the listing says it is UL compliant, is that really a ?

There is no indication that this type of product can be listed by UL. The products are certainly well-made enough to be listed by UL. My insights are not as clear as I would like them to be. These are well made and you can be sure that they will last a long time.

Is there supposed to be screws on these? Wouldn't it be better to use one of the alternatives?

There are no screws included with these. If you are fixing hooks to something other than wood, the type of screw you need to use will depend on what you are attaching them In a dry wall situation, I would recommend using plastic molly's with a #10 x 3/4" or #8 x 3/4" screw. Although, if you are working with wood, then you can either use a #8 or #10.

The majority of pictures I see are of these mounted to a wall or Would it be possible to mount them on the ?

The amount of low voltage wiring I run is in the hundreds of thousands. It is common for me to mount on the ceiling 90 percent of the time. There are very few pins made from wire, so the pins are well suited for this application. Furthermore, there are no wire pins to mess with, unlike with There are 1000 of these hooks in my collection.

It works well and is durable
5/5

Prices were a little high and I was a bit wary A quick and cheap way to mount some cables was what I was looking for. The cheaper cable options I tried were not very impressive A mounting system for running cats It took me a while to break down and buy these mounts after using $8 and sprinkler cable. The cheaper mounts were flimsy metal or odd mounting or did not fit the cables well. These were the ones I wish I had started with in the first place. So that the hook doesn't interfere with use of the screwdriver, the screw hole is placed well. This is a Insert the bar into the holes in the metal by hooking it out and squeezing it in). There are just enough flex points in the metal to allow it to pop off A bar should be able to withstand a fairly strong wind and not snap out of place After trying a few alternatives, now that I have tried a few of these, I am more confident that they are better suited to indoor running of fiber optic cables between joists in a closed area than steel or aluminum.

This product line of J hooks is great
5/5

In one of our offices, we used these J Hooks for running CAT6 network cable. Delivery took place on time and package was in perfect condition. It is easy to install the J hooks because they are very well constructed. In my opinion, the included posts (probably the wrong term) worked well to prevent cable from rotating around the J hook, which in turn prevented cable strung through the loops from being too slippery. I will definitely buy more of these in the future. It has been a pleasure working with.

Comparable to competitors at a higher price
4/5

I have always regarded J-towns as the kind of people they are In the past, I have always considered the hooks I have purchased to be overpriced, so when I found these I was a bit skeptical since they were half the price of the ones I had been using, but I was pleasantly surprised by the quality and strength of the product. thing to note is that instead of plastic clips that are prone to breaking, these use metal bars instead. One issue I had was that I had to give parts of the bar a light tap with a hummer so that they
I will now use these for all my j-cup needs I hook you.

Exactly what I was looking for
4/5

If you want to run network cables high up on a wall in an open garage, you can use this. You are in an environment of this type. The pins are easy to screw into walls, to add wires and then to snap into place. The pin can be removed and wires added or removed, then the pin can be replaced. Wear gloves, but wear them! The edges of these things are very sharp! In addition, the pins are easy to miss, and I am not sure if the kit comes with extras, but it certainly would be useful.

I got what I paid for
5/5

This cable support will be part of the built-in desk I am constructing right now. The cables and wires are all kept off the floor and out of sight with the support mounted under the back side of the desk. Besides preventing the Roomba from lifting the phone, they prevent Roomba from hitting the phone on For my project, the cable supports were exactly what I needed at a very reasonable price.

However, it is a great item
3/5

While the part is galvanized, in humid conditions it becomes infested with rust fairly quickly. Before I install it, I spray it with cold galvanizing paint which is much more effective than hot galvanizing paint. If the metal was treated better at the factory, it would be a 5 star rating. The J-series otherwise does not exist Compared to other products, Hook is quite good.

The mounting on wood is easy and the value is great
5/5

It was very easy to store 20 CAT6 and RG6 runs in my attic with room to spare since these are very well made. Sadly, they do not come with screws, so I had to mount them on the trusses without any issue. It is true that these come with a retainer bar, just as outlined In my initial opening of the box, I did not think they were included. However, they were buried throughout the box. They are hard to find, so you'll have to look around. Likewise, each bar is individually bagged some reason makes it necessary. It is unnecessary to use plastic and quite annoying to have to open each one when the hooks themselves are not even packaged. These hooks have a great value and are less expensive than other hooks of a similar appearance.

Designed for running small quantities of twisted pair wiring, it is inexpensive and effective
5/5

There is no need to use giant 2" J hooks for cradling 5 CAT6 cables, they are too large and waste of money. This is what these Js are If you have fewer than 20 wires, hooks are the perfect size. Earlier this year, I was able to use it for 24 CAT6 wires, but had to use a zip tie to contain everything. For everything 20 and under (5 and 6), I will use these exclusively in the future.
