HPH Series J-Hook - Composite Wide Base Hook w knock-on spring steel beam clamp for flanges 1/8 - 1/4" thick by Doc's Industries Inc.

Sensitive communication cable needs more than a narrow metal hook and a field-applied tie. The HPHHOK24 cable support combines a smooth, burr-free, 2-inch-wide plastic base loop with a high-strength metal backbone, giving datacom crews a protected cable pathway and a heavy-duty structural anchor in one component. Hook and Hanger supplies these supports for organized cable management above commercial ceilings, telecom rooms, and other interior pathways where cable jacket protection and consistent routing matter.

The HPHHOK24 cable support is designed for Cat 5e, Cat 6, Cat 6A, Cat 7, and fiber optic lines that can be affected by compression, abrasion, or undersized bends. Its wide support surface reduces concentrated pressure on cable bundles, while its rigid metal section provides a dependable attachment point. The component is cULus listed and RoHS compliant, supporting projects that require documented material and electrical-pathway compliance.

What Is the HPHHOK24 Cable Support Used For?

The HPHHOK24 cable support is used to route low-voltage communications cable independently from conduit, building steel, and other services. It gives installers a defined pathway for horizontal cable runs while helping maintain a consistent bundle shape through changes in direction and along ceiling-space routes. This is useful where high-bandwidth infrastructure must remain accessible for additions, troubleshooting, and future moves.

Each support includes an integrated snap-lock retainer latch. After the bundle is placed in the base, the latch closes over the opening to retain the cable without wire loops, cable ties, or hook-and-loop wraps installed at ceiling height. The HPHHOK24 cable support also provides an average bend radius of 3.57 inches. That broad turning surface helps prevent kinks, jacket deformation, and excess pair stress that can contribute to crosstalk or signal degradation in copper and fiber communication lines.

What Are the HPHHOK24 Cable Support Specifications?

The HPHHOK24 cable support is available in four support diameters: 1", 2", 3", and 4". This allows the pathway size to match planned cable volume rather than forcing multiple cable types into an undersized support. Capacity values below are based on a conservative 70% fill rate and include a 3-to-1 safety factor on load tolerances.

• HPH16HOK24: 1.07 sq. in. area; 1" diameter; capacity for 20 Cat 5e, 15 Cat 6, or 10 Cat 6A cables; UL load rating of 20 lbs. (88.96 N); package quantity of 25; weight of 4 lbs.

• HPH32HOK24: 3.97 sq. in. area; 2" diameter; capacity for 90 Cat 5e, 60 Cat 6, or 35 Cat 6A cables; UL load rating of 17 lbs. (75.62 N); package quantity of 25; weight of 5 lbs.

• HPH48HOK24: 9.26 sq. in. area; 3" diameter; capacity for 200 Cat 5e, 150 Cat 6, or 80 Cat 6A cables; UL load rating of 20 lbs. (88.96 N); package quantity of 25; weight of 10 lbs.

• HPH64HOK24: 15.48 sq. in. area; 4" diameter; capacity for 330 Cat 5e, 220 Cat 6, or 140 Cat 6A cables; UL load rating of 17 lbs. (75.62 N); package quantity of 25; weight of 12 lbs.

How Does the HPHHOK24 Cable Support Attach to Structure?

The metal backbone of the HPHHOK24 cable support is designed to assemble to compatible Doc’s® attachments with a 1/4"-20 x 3/8" bolt and matching nyloc nut. This allows the support to be mounted in ways that suit the building structure and cable route, including direct attachment points and suspended hardware arrangements.

• Attach the metal backbone to the selected Doc’s® attachment using the specified bolt and matching nyloc nut.

• Secure the attachment to the approved overhead structure before loading cable. Select the attachment method based on the substrate, load condition, spacing plan, and project requirements.

• For crews that routinely use overhead drilling and anchoring or conventional mechanical fasteners, the HPHHOK24 cable support provides a flexible route to a secure, serviceable cable pathway.

• Maintain support spacing and pathway loading in line with cable manufacturer instructions, project documents, and applicable standards. Do not use the support as a substitute for properly rated structural attachment hardware.

Why Use Hybrid J-Hooks in Plenum Spaces?

The hybrid construction addresses two pathway requirements: a smooth cable-bearing surface and a rigid structural connection. The plastic base is slick and free of burrs that can abrade cable jackets, while the metal backbone handles the structural interface. The HPHHOK24 cable support is plenum-rated for air-handling spaces and TIA compliant, making it suitable for specified pathways above a suspended ceiling where material selection and cable-support practices are closely reviewed.

Color options in red, blue, and black can help crews identify pathways by service, circuit, floor, or project phase. This is useful when several systems share the same ceiling zone and the completed installation must remain understandable during inspection or later maintenance. We stock color-coded supports for organized routing, and Hook and Hanger supports nationwide distribution and bulk shipping logistics for projects that require consistent hardware across multiple locations.

A complete overhead pathway also depends on hardware that suits the existing structure. Hook and Hanger supplies compatible alternatives, including purlin clips for steel framing, conventional j-hooks for selected cable routes, and extension poles for work performed from below. Depending on the support condition, crews may also use eye lag screws in approved wood substrates, angle clips for directional attachment points, beam clamps for qualifying steel members, and threaded rod fasteners for suspended support assemblies. Selecting the correct attachment hardware helps keep the cable pathway aligned with the structural layout and project specifications.
