About Wire and Cable

Drop-Down Cable
Often used to wire pendant switches, this cable hangs from an overhead connection. It’s also known as bus drop cable.
The PVC insulation resists abrasion, chemicals, and oil.
Cable with three uninsulated ground wires can be used in wet environments. The ground wires are not counted in the number of wires.
Cable with strain relief has galvanized steel strain cables on the sides to provide strength and reduce the stress caused by equipment hanging from cable. Use the strain relief hardware (sold separately) to secure equipment to the cable.
- Use For: Drop-Down Power

Single-Loop Cable Support Grips
Also known as bus drop grips, these grips support cable weight and relieve tension. They also damp vibration in hanging runs of cable, rod, and tubing. You can support these grips with a hook.
Safety spring (sold separately) alleviates strain from sudden pulls, but it reduces the work load limit of the grip.

Self-Tightening Cable Support Grips
The loops tighten by the weight of your cable or by manual adjustment. These grips are often wrapped around a beam or pipe. Also known as bus drop grips, they support cable weight and relieve tension. They also damp vibration in hanging runs of cable, rod, and tubing.
Safety spring (sold separately) alleviates strain from sudden pulls, but it reduces the work load limit of the grip.

Corrosion-Resistant Mid-Cable Support Grips
Made of stainless steel, these grips have excellent corrosion resistance. Use them when the end of a cable is not accessible; wrap the mesh anywhere along the length of the cable to provide support. Lace the mesh closed with the included lacing wire. Also known as bus drop grips, these grips support cable weight and relieve tension. They also damp vibration in hanging runs of cable, rod, and tubing.

Corrosion-Resistant Double-Loop Cable Support Grips
Made of stainless steel, these grips have excellent corrosion resistance. They have two loops for support at two points, often at an angle. They must be equally supported to balance the load. Also known as bus drop grips, these grips support cable weight and relieve tension. They also damp vibration in hanging runs of cable, rod, and tubing.
