An electric cable saddle, or support, arrangement includes a housing having an upper recessed portion adapted to receive and support one or more electrical cables in a fixed, stable manner. Plural apertures disposed on upper portions of the housing on opposed sides of the cable(s) and aligned generally transverse to the length of the cable(s) are adapted to receive a flexible, high strength tie member, or strap, for securely attaching the cable(s) to an upper portion of the housing. A slot disposed in a lower portion of the housing and also aligned generally transverse to the length of the cables(s) is adapted to receive a structural support member for supporting the housing and cable(s). A retaining member also disposed in a lower portion of the housing is moveable adjacent to or into engagement with the support member for fixed positioning of the housing on the support member.

A cable tie of unitary structure includes a flexible, elongated band having a linear array of first inclined teeth on a first surface thereof and a retaining housing and a tapered portion on opposed ends of the band. The housing includes an elongated slot aligned with the band for receiving the band's tapered end portion in sliding engagement to form a closed loop for receiving and retaining plural aligned elongated elements such as cables. Upper and lower surfaces of the housing include respective plural spaced slots defined by respective upper and lower spaced crossed members aligned transverse to the length of the band when inserted in the slot. Inner distal ends of each of the lower cross members are each provided with respective plural sets of second inclined teeth each adapted to engage a respective one of the first teeth on the band to securely maintain the cables in fixed position.
