JH64 Temporary Cable Support – Safe, Reusable Overhead Cable Hook
The JH64 Temporary Cable Support is a reliable, reusable solution for keeping cables and cords safely off the ground during construction, maintenance, or temporary setups. Built from durable all-metal construction, this grappling hook-style support attaches to standard joists and beams without tools or fasteners.
Designed for fast, safe cable suspension in job site environments, the JH64 is available in 12", 24", and 36" lengths and accommodates J-hooks in both 2" and 4" sizes. It's a straightforward way to improve site safety and cable management without permanent installation.
Why Choose the JH64 Temporary Cable Support
For short-term projects or frequently changing setups, the JH64 Temporary Cable Support is a practical alternative to fixed hangers. The 3" grappling hook slips over standard structural members and holds securely in place without drilling, damage, or hardware.
Because it installs from the ground using a telescoping pole, it eliminates the need for ladders and reduces fall risk, a major safety advantage for contractors working in fast-paced environments. Whether you’re routing extension cords, drop wire, or low-voltage cabling, the JH64 simplifies overhead support.
Durable, Flexible, and Easy to Use
Made entirely of metal, the JH64 Temporary Cable Support is built for repeated use. Its hook design holds position reliably while allowing you to move or reposition it as needed. This makes it ideal for environments like commercial job sites, plant shutdowns, and temporary event setups.
It’s also compatible with tools like the Quic Stic telescoping pole, so you can install and remove it from floor level, a key advantage in areas with high ceilings or active work zones.
Designed for Temporary Overhead Cable Routing
Unlike permanent cable supports that require mounting hardware, the JH64 Temporary Cable Support offers a non-invasive option that won’t mark or damage structural elements. It’s especially useful in buildings where permanent anchors are not permitted or where cable layouts need to be changed often.
If you’re working in facilities with suspended ceiling systems or exposed framing, this tool provides an easy way to keep cords tidy, elevated, and out of foot traffic without altering the structure.
Practical, Reusable, and Built for the Job Site
The JH64 Temporary Cable Support is engineered for flexibility, safety, and repeat use. With multiple lengths available, all-metal durability, and fast setup from ground level, it’s a smart choice for temporary installations across commercial, industrial, and renovation projects.
Keep your cables off the ground, reduce hazards, and adapt quickly to changing job site needs all without tools, ladders, or permanent fixings. Order today and experience simple, dependable cable management built for real-world use.

Data Cable Bend Sensitivity
Why are data cables bend sensitive?
Data cables have specific bend radius requirements to prevent signal loss and ensure data transmission. Bending cables beyond their recommended bend radius can cause signal loss, crosstalk and damage to the cable itself. It’s important to follow the manufacturer’s guidelines for bend radius to keep data cables intact and performing as designed.
How do I find the bend radius for data cables?
Bend radius for data cables is provided by the cable manufacturer and varies depending on the cable construction and specifications. It’s best to check the cable manufacturer’s documentation or specs to find the bend radius for the specific data cable you are using. Following these guidelines will ensure optimal performance and minimize cable failure.
What are the cable management guidelines?
Good cable management is key to a tidy and efficient network. Here are some guidelines:
-
Use cable management solutions, cable trays, racks and cable ties to secure and organize cables.
-
Label cables to identify and track connections.
-
Follow the recommended bend radius for data cables to prevent signal loss.
-
Don’t run data cables parallel to power cables to minimize electromagnetic interference.
-
Inspect and maintain cable connections regularly to ensure they are secure and damage free.
