Nvent Caddy CAT16HPBA Cat Hp J-hook Painted Black

Product Description

The NVENT CADDY CAT16HPBA is a Cat HP J-Hook designed for structured cabling and low-voltage wire management in commercial and light commercial construction. This painted black purlin-grip style hook secures communication cables, data cables, and low-voltage wiring to structural members without damaging cable jackets. The purlin-grip attachment method allows fast, tool-friendly installation to steel structural members, making it a standard choice for electrical and low-voltage contractors working overhead cable routing. The painted black finish provides corrosion resistance and a clean appearance in exposed ceiling applications.

This J-Hook is suited for commercial interior construction, data centers, office buildouts, and similar environments where organized overhead cable routing is required. It is typically installed by low-voltage technicians, electricians, or communications contractors running structured cabling, coaxial, or similar cables through open ceiling or above-ceiling plenum spaces. The purlin-grip base eliminates the need for drilling or fasteners into the structural member in many applications, speeding up installation on framing flanges.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style cable support accessory for use in commercial low-voltage and structured cabling installations requiring purlin-grip J-Hook mounting to steel framing members.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed low-voltage technicians or electricians in accordance with NEC Article 800 guidelines for communications wiring support. Before installing, ensure the structural member flange dimension is compatible with the purlin-grip jaw range. Do not exceed the rated cable fill capacity of the hook, and avoid bundling cables in ways that create excessive bend radius on cable jackets. Power down any adjacent energized conductors before working in the overhead space.
