Abstract
A stackable, low-PIM cable hanger includes a hybrid metal-and-polymeric construction including a metal cable block carrying a polymeric sleeve. The metal cable block forms the cable mounting section, while the polymeric sleeve insulates the metal sides of the cable block and provides non-metallic (low-PIM) snap-in legs for attaching the cable hanger to mounting structures and stacking the cable hangers together. The metal cable block supports the cable more securely than a polymeric mounting section, while the polymeric sleeve avoids loose metal-to-metal connections when the cable hangers are attached to metal mounting structures or stacked together. The metal cable block includes a metal sides that form cable clasps. The sleeve includes polymeric sides that cover the metal sides of the cable block to prevent metal-to-metal contact on the sides of the cable block.
