Telecommunication cabling suspension system for ceiling and plenum areas

摘要

A system for holding a plurality of low voltage telecommunication cables, or other data transmission cable, together in a compact unit and attaching the cabling to a suspension wire held in tension. The suspension wire secured to various portions of a building structure such as a ceiling, a wall, floor joist, and the like. In a primary embodiment, the system includes at least two anchor eye bolts secured to the building structure in a spaced relationship to each other. An end of the suspension wire is attached a first anchor bolt and a second end of the suspension wire is attached to a tensioning ratchet. A ratchet handle is used for engaging the tensioning ratchet and tightening the suspension wire to a desired tension that will allow the wire to carry data telecommunications cable. Bundle tabs are wrapped around a portion of the cables and the suspension wire for securing the cables together and suspending the cables from the suspension wires. In another embodiment, a first suspension wire is threaded through a first wire vice attached to a first support beam and threaded through a second wire vice attached to a spaced apart second support beam. The tensioning ratchet is attached to one end of the first suspension wire and tension is applied to the first suspension wire between the first and second support beams.
