A spring clip cable support assembly for use with a cable comprising of an outer conduit and an inner flexible strand extending through the conduit comprising an inner tubular body having an opening therethrough and a radial flange thereon, a tubular spring clip pressed about a portion of the body, a collar extending about a portion of the spring clip and having a first end engaging the radial flange and second end adapted to engage one side of a support. The spring clip includes spring fingers adapted to engage the other side of the support. The lengths of the contacting portions of body and the spring clip are such that the free edge of the spring clip is spaced from the radial flange and is adapted to be positioned in a plurality of longitudinal positions during assembly to accommodate supports of different thickness. During assembly a spacer of the desired thickness corresponding to that of the intended support is interposed between the second end of the collar and ends of the spring fingers and the collar spring clip and body are interconnected in the desired position as by staking.
