Wire Strap · 5/8 in Cable Support - Steel - ST5/8

What this product is for

This wire strap is used to secure and support cable or small bundle runs in electrical installations where a simple mechanical hold-down is required. The listed size is 5/8 in, which is approximately 16 mm.

Use for

Use for cable management, routing, and support in residential, commercial, or light industrial work where the strap size matches the cable or bundle outside diameter. It is commonly selected for keeping exposed runs orderly on framing or mounting surfaces.

Avoid for

Avoid using this strap where a listed insulated, cushioned, corrosion-resistant, or conduit-specific support is required, or where the cable outside diameter exceeds the strap size. Do not assume suitability for all cable types without confirming the application and local code requirements.

Best for

Best for electricians and contractors who need a straightforward strap for cable support in general cable management work. A 5/8 in size is typically chosen by matching the strap to the cable or bundle outside diameter rather than conductor size alone.

Installed in

Typically installed on wood, masonry, or metal mounting surfaces in utility spaces, service areas, basements, mechanical rooms, and other exposed wiring locations, subject to the cable type and fastening method used.

Why this product exists

This product provides a simple way to secure wiring so runs stay organized and supported during and after installation. Proper support helps reduce sagging and keeps cable routing cleaner for service work and inspection.

Compared with similar products

Compared with cushioned or cable-specific clamps, a basic wire strap is a simpler and lower-cost support option when no insulation or vibration protection is needed. For larger cables, sensitive jackets, or harsher environments, electricians commonly move to heavier-duty or application-specific supports.

Typical guidance only: strap sizing is commonly based on the cable or bundle outside diameter. Actual fit and compliance depend on cable construction, jacket thickness, installation conditions, and local electrical code.
