Insert for mounting multiple cables in cable hanger
An insert for mounting multiple cables in a cable hanger includes: a gripping portion configured to engage multiple cables; and a wrapping portion attached to the gripping portion and configured to wrap around the gripping portion as it receives cables.
1. A method for mounting one or more cables, comprising:
(a) providing a mounting device comprising:
a strip having a flat section and an undulating portion, the undulating portion comprising a plurality of undulations, each of the undulations extending in a direction above the strip when the strip is disposed in a flat condition;
a hook attached to one end of the strip;
a plurality of slots in the strip;
wherein the device is formed as a unitary member and of a polymeric material; and
wherein the flat section and the undulating portion are of uniform width and
(b) forming the strip into a closed loop around one or more cables, the hook being inserted into one of the plurality of slots to secure the strip into a closed loop.
2. The method defined in claim 1 , wherein the plurality of slots are positioned in the flat section of the strip.
3. The method defined in claim 1 , wherein after step (b) at least a portion of the undulations are located within the closed loop.
4. The method defined in claim 3 , wherein after step (b) all of the plurality of undulations are located within the closed loop.
5. The method defined in claim 4 , wherein after step (b) a portion of the flat section forms part of the closed loop.
6. The method defined in claim 1 , wherein the hook extends generally perpendicularly to the flat section.
7. The method defined in claim 1 , wherein the undulations extend in a direction that is generally perpendicular to the flat section.
8. A method for mounting one or more cables, comprising:
(a) providing a mounting device comprising:
a strip having a flat section and an undulating portion, the undulating portion comprising a plurality of undulations that extend generally perpendicularly to the flat section in a direction above the strip when the strip is disposed in a flat condition;
a hook attached to the strip;
a plurality of slots in the strip;
wherein the device is formed as a unitary member and of a polymeric material; and
wherein the flat section and the undulating portion are of uniform width; and
wherein the plurality of slots are positioned in the flat section of the strip;
(b) forming the strip into a closed loop, the hook being inserted into one of the plurality of slots to secure the strip into a closed loop, wherein all of the plurality of undulations are located within the closed loop.
9. The method defined in claim 8 , wherein after step (b) a portion of the flat section forms part of the closed loop.
10. The method defined in claim 8 , wherein the hook extends generally perpendicularly to the flat section.
