Nvent Caddy CAT100CM Double J Hook Cat 5

Product Description

The NVENT CADDY CAT100CM is a double J hook designed to support and route Category 5 data cables in commercial and residential installations. The hook provides a low-friction, open-sided support point that keeps cable bundles organized without pinching or compressing the cable jacket, which is critical for maintaining signal integrity in structured wiring runs. Electricians and low-voltage technicians use this type of support hardware to comply with cable support spacing requirements defined in the NEC and TIA-568 standards. It is sold individually as a single unit.

This hook is suited for use in ceiling grid systems, open plenum spaces, and framing assemblies where Cat 5 or similarly sized data cables require periodic support along their run length. It is a common component in network infrastructure rough-in work and is typically installed at regular intervals to prevent cable sag and maintain bend radius compliance throughout the run.

Key Features

• Double J-hook design supports cable bundles while preserving cable geometry
• Open-sided profile allows cables to be loaded without threading from the end
• Sized specifically for Category 5 cable diameter
• Single-piece construction for straightforward installation
• Sold individually for flexible quantity purchasing

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style support accessory for Category 5 structured cabling installations in commercial and residential low-voltage applications.

Installation Notes

Low-voltage technicians and electricians typically install cable J hooks during the rough-in phase before pulling cable. No energized circuits require shutdown for hook installation, though all work should comply with applicable NEC and local code requirements for cable support spacing. Avoid overtightening any fastener used to mount the hook, as deforming the hook body can compromise cable bend radius. Follow TIA-568 guidelines for maximum support intervals along horizontal cable runs.
