Hanger for mounting cables

Abstract

A cable hanger includes: a first half including a main body with a first cable recess, a latch adapted for mounting to a mounting structure, and a first securing feature; and a second half including a main body with a second cable recess, a bore adapted for receiving the latch of a second cable hanger, and a second securing feature. The first half is mated with the second half such that the first and second cable recesses form a pocket for receiving and grasping a cable. The first and second securing features engage to maintain the first half and the second half in a mated condition.

That which is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A cable hanger, comprising:
 a first half including a main body with a first and second cable recesses, a first bore located between the first and second cable recesses, and first securing features;   a second half including a main body with third and fourth cables recesses, a second bore located between the third and fourth recesses, and second securing features;   wherein the first half is mated with the second half such that the first and third cable recesses form a first pocket for receiving and grasping a first cable, the second and fourth cable recesses form a second pocket for forming a second cable, and the first and second securing features engage to maintain the first half and the second half in a mated condition;   wherein the first cable recess includes a flex member that extends into the first pocket and is positioned and configured to engage the first cable in the first pocket.   
     
     
         2 . The cable hanger defined in  claim 1 , wherein the first bore is a countersunk bore. 
     
     
         3 . The cable hanger defined in  claim 2 , wherein the second bore is a countersunk bore. 
     
     
         4 . The cable hanger defined in  claim 1 , wherein the flex member has first and second ends, and wherein the first and second ends are fixed to an inner surface of the first recess. 
     
     
         5 . The cable hanger defined in  claim 1 , wherein the flex member is a first flex member, and further comprising second, third and fourth flex members positioned in, respectively, the second, third and fourth cable recesses. 
     
     
         6 . The cable hanger defined in  claim 1 , wherein the first securing features include a toothed slot, and wherein the second securing features include a ratchet strap. 
     
     
         7 . The cable hanger defined in  claim 1 , wherein the first and second halves comprise a polymeric material. 
     
     
         8 . The cable hanger defined in  claim 1 , in combination with a first cable captured in the first pocket. 
     
     
         9 . The cable hanger defined in  claim 1 , mounted to a cable ladder or antenna tower via a bolt inserted into the first bore in the first half. 
     
     
         10 . A cable hanger, comprising:
 a first half including a main body with a first and second cable recesses, a first bore located between the first and second cable recesses, and first securing features;   a second half including a main body with third and fourth cables recesses, a second bore located between the third and fourth recesses, and second securing features;   wherein the first half is mated with the second half such that the first and third cable recesses form a first pocket for receiving and grasping a first cable, the second and fourth cable recesses form a second pocket for forming a second cable, and the first and second securing features engage to maintain the first half and the second half in a mated condition;   wherein the first cable recess includes a flex member fixed at each end that extends into the first pocket and is positioned and configured to engage the first cable in the first pocket.   
     
     
         11 . The cable hanger defined in  claim 10 , wherein the first bore is a countersunk bore. 
     
     
         12 . The cable hanger defined in  claim 11 , wherein the second bore is a countersunk bore. 
     
     
         13 . The cable hanger defined in  claim 10 , wherein the flex member is a first flex member, and further comprising second, third and fourth flex members positioned in, respectively, the second, third and fourth cable recesses. 
     
     
         14 . The cable hanger defined in  claim 10 , wherein the first securing features include a toothed slot, and wherein the second securing features include a ratchet strap. 
     
     
         15 . The cable hanger defined in  claim 10 , wherein the first and second halves comprise a polymeric material. 
     
     
         16 . The cable hanger defined in  claim 10 , in combination with a first cable captured in the first pocket. 
     
     
         17 . The cable hanger defined in  claim 10 , mounted to a cable ladder or antenna tower via a bolt inserted into the first bore in the first half.
