A cable hanger for securing cables to a supporting structure includes: a base panel having opposed ends; a pair of arms attached to a respective end of the base panel and having a free end; a pair of locking projections, each of the locking projections attached to a respective free end of the arms; a pair of gripping members, each gripping member attached with a respective arm or to the base panel, wherein the arms and locking projections are spread apart to enable insertion of a first cable between the arms, wherein the gripping members engage and grip the first cable, and wherein the locking projections are inserted into the aperture of the supporting structure; and at least one finger attached to and extending from one of the arms or the base panel, the finger configured to deflect and grasp a second cable against the arm or base panel.
1. A cable hanger for securing one or more cables to a supporting structure having an aperture, said cable hanger comprising:
a base panel having opposed ends;
a pair of arms, each of the arms attached to a respective end of the base panel and having a free end;
a pair of locking projections, each of the locking projections attached to a respective free end of the arms; and
a pair of gripping members, each gripping member attached with a respective arm or to the base panel;
wherein the arms and locking projections are configured to spread apart to enable insertion of a first cable between the arms, wherein the gripping members engage and grip the first cable, and wherein the locking projections are configured to be inserted into the aperture of the supporting structure; and
at least one finger attached to and extending from one of the arms or the base panel, the finger configured to deflect and grasp a second cable against the arm or base panel;
the cable hanger in combination with the first cable engaging the gripping members and the second cable engaging the at least one finger;
wherein the at least one finger is positioned to grasp the second cable against a concave region of one of the arms.
2. The cable hanger defined in claim 1 , wherein the at least one finger is a plurality of fingers.
3. The cable hanger defined in claim 2 , wherein the plurality of fingers comprises two fingers attached on each one of the arms.
4. The cable hanger defined in claim 1 , wherein the base panel and arms define a perimeter of the cable hanger, and wherein the at least one finger is mounted and configured so that the second cable grasped by the finger is located outside the perimeter of the cable hanger.
5. The cable hanger defined in claim 1 , wherein the first cable is of a first size, and the second cable is of a second size that is less than the first size.
6. The cable hanger defined in claim 1 , wherein the at least one finger is attached to one of the arms.
