Two identical cradle halves joined together to form a cable clamp that secures at least one cable to a surface. Each cradle half has a front, a back, a top, a bottom, and sides. Each cradle half has at least one cradle portion with a compression insert and an attachment portion. The attachment portion has an adjustment latch with a post having a T-shaped head and a tapered adjustment slot. The cable clamp is formed by joining the two cradle halves with the top of one cradle half positioned on the top of a second cradle half. The cradle portion and the attachment portion of one cradle half is positioned over the cradle portion and the attachment portion of the second cradle half to form the cable clamp.

Cable clamp with adjustment latches

A cable management system designed to support cables in solar applications. The cable management system includes a U-shaped bracket and at least one clamp half. The U-shaped bracket has a base with two arms with each arm including a securement slot. The clamp half has a top, a bottom, a front, a back, and sides with button pads extending from the sides. The clamp half is installed within the U-shaped bracket such that the button pads slide in the securement slots to position the clamp half in the U-shaped bracket. The clamp half separates and supports the cables installed in the U-shaped bracket.

A bracket assembly that secures cables to rungs of a ladder rack. The bracket has a bottom portion, sidewalls, and an upper portion. The bracket is positioned under the rectangular body of the ladder rung and secured thereto with an interference fit. At least one cable is positioned on the ladder rung and the upper portion of the bracket. A tie secures the cable to the upper portion of the bracket.

Cradle clamp bracket assembly

A low-profile cable tie strap and buckle assembly that secures a bundle. The cable tie strap includes a head, a body with a plurality of teeth and a tip. The cable tie strap also has locking tabs that extend from each side of the cable tie strap. The buckle has a first end with a raised member defining a horizontal strap passageway and a second end with a vertical strap passageway. The cable tie strap is installed in the first end of the buckle and the locking tabs secure the cable tie strap to the buckle. The cable tie strap wraps around the bundle. The free end of the cable tie strap is installed in the second end of the buckle to secure the bundle.

A bracket assembly is disclosed to secure a cable bundle to a ladder rung. The bracket assembly includes a metal bracket and protective grommets. The metal bracket has a first member, side walls and second members. The first member of the metal bracket is parallel to the second members of the metal bracket. The protective grommets are secured to the metal bracket. The protective grommets have a base member, sleeves extending from the base member, a side member and a bottom member. The assembled metal bracket and protective grommets receive the ladder rung and the sleeves of the protective grommets wrap around the cable bundle positioned on the ladder rung to secure the cable bundle.

Ladder rung bracket assembly

A thermal expansion and contraction system secures cables to a ladder rung. The thermal expansion and contraction system includes a cable grip secured to the ladder rung. The cable grip includes a protective grommet for holding cables to the ladder rung, a metal plate and wire forms to secure the protective grommet to the metal plate. The thermal expansion and contraction system also includes a cable divider secured to the ladder rung to maintaining separation of cables and a cable containment clamp secured to the ladder rung.

Thermal expansion and contraction system

A cradle clamp bracket assembly that secures cables to rungs of a ladder rack. The cradle clamp bracket assembly includes an elongated bracket having a first portion and a raised second portion. The first portion includes a slot located along the center of the first portion. The raised second portion includes a downwardly extending flange and at least one gusset to strengthen the bracket. The cradle clamp bracket assembly also includes a retainer that is received in the slot to engage the rung of the ladder rack.
