The Gear That Keeps Your Systems Hanging
The hardware in this section covers the systems that physically carry, support, and secure cable in the field. Trays, ladders, strut, clamps, brackets, magnetic mounts, and the fittings that tie them together—each item defined so you can identify it, spec it, and use it correctly on the job. Direct, practical, and aligned with how these components actually show up in real installations.
Every bracket, clamp, and tray has a job—working together to route, support, and protect cable from end to end. This section lays out the hardware behind clean installs, reliable systems, and builds that hold up under real‑world conditions.
