J-Hooks

Vertical Cable 048‑143/34W 3/4‑inch J‑Hook with Wing for 1/4‑inch Rod Overview The Vertical Cable model 048‑143/34W is a ¾‑inch J‑Hook with wing attachment designed for use with a ¼‑inch rod. It is made of pre‑galvanized steel with rust‑resistant zinc plating. Ideal for cable support applications requiring moderate load capacity while preserving cable integrity and keeping installations neat. Key Features Feature Detail Type ¾‑inch J‑Hook with Wing for ¼‑inch Rod Material Pre‑Galvanized Steel with Rust‑Resistant Zinc Coating Thickness 0.05 in (≈ 1.35 mm) Load Capacity 60 lbs Attachment Method Can be attached via beam clamps or mounted via rod or similar hardware; includes wing for ¼‑inch rod Capacity for Cat 6 Cables The manufacturer rates the load capacity at 60 lbs. Exact number of Cat 6 cables that can be supported depends on outer diameter of cables and how tightly bundled. As a rough estimate: Given the load and size, this J‑Hook could support around 35‑45 Cat 6 cables safely, allowing some margin (i.e. not fully packing to its max mechanical capacity) so cables are not bent or stacked too tightly. Applications / Usage Scenario Useful in structured cabling systems where cables must be routed overhead, routed along ceilings, or supported on rods. Fits well in telecom rooms, data closets, or anywhere a rod infrastructure is used for cable management. Helps maintain separation, bend radius, and support for network, security, control, or thermostat cables. Installation Notes Mount the wing onto a ¼‑inch rod to utilize the hook properly. Ensure that the hook is installed so cables rest in the bottom of the hook and are not forced into sharp bends. Do not exceed the 60 lbs rating in aggregate; factor in weight of all cables plus any slack or future additions. Maintain spacing between support points in accordance with standards (e.g. rods or beams every few feet) so weight is distributed. Advantages Good strength and moderate load capacity in a relatively compact form. Steel construction is robust; galvanized + zinc coating helps resist corrosion. Winged design for rod makes mounting flexible in many infrastructure layouts. Considerations If many Cat 6 cables are being routed (or shielded / larger jacketed variants), the actual safe load may be lower. Frequent cable additions or heavy bundles may push near capacity; planning ahead is helpful. Inspect installed hook periodically for signs of deformation or corrosion.

Vertical Cable 048‑146/40W 4‑Inch J‑Hook with Wing for ¼‑Inch Rod Overview The Vertical Cable model 048‑146/40W is a 4‑inch J‑Hook featuring a wing for mounting on a ¼‑inch rod. Constructed from pre‑galvanized steel with a rust‑resistant zinc coating, it provides strong, reliable support for structured cabling systems. Designed to meet the needs of installers handling moderate to large cable bundles, this hook is ideal for use in overhead and rod-mounted cable management applications. Key Features Feature Details Product Type 4‑inch J‑Hook with Wing for ¼‑inch Rod Material Pre‑Galvanized Steel with Rust‑Resistant Zinc Coating Mounting Style Wing design for ¼‑inch rod Thickness 0.05 in (≈ 1.35 mm) Weight 0.46 lbs Load Capacity 60 lbs Estimated Capacity for Cat 6 Cables Designed to support up to 60 lbs of cable load Approximate capacity for Cat 6 cables: 110 to 130 cables, depending on cable diameter and bundling technique Provides proper spacing to maintain bend radius and minimize performance loss Typical Applications / Usage Scenario Ideal for use in structured cabling installations in commercial, residential, and industrial environments Frequently used to support Cat 6 and other low-voltage cables in data centers, telecom rooms, and ceiling-mounted systems Mounts directly to ¼‑inch threaded rods for overhead routing or grid support in open ceiling infrastructure Installation Notes Attach the wing securely to a ¼‑inch rod using proper hardware Ensure cables are seated within the hook to avoid stress or sharp bends Do not exceed the 60 lbs weight rating—factor in slack and potential future cable additions Follow standard spacing practices for hook installations, typically every 4–5 feet depending on cable weight and type Advantages Durable steel body ensures long-term strength and reliability Zinc coating offers corrosion resistance for extended life Wing mounting style provides flexible installation for rod-based supports Supports large bundles of Cat 6 cabling while maintaining cable integrity and organization Considerations Using shielded or extra-thick cables will reduce the number of cables supported Always evaluate your cable routing plan to avoid overfilling or stressing hook capacity Periodic inspection of installed hooks is recommended in high-use environments Tri‑Tek Electronics Note: Tri‑Tek Electronics is an authorized distributor of Vertical Cable products.
