Abstract

A bracket useful for supporting and holding fiber optic or other cable to a utility pole, or the like, including the bracket having a base member, a shank portion extending integrally therefrom, being curved so as to center the bracket and held cable over its base member, the upper end of the shank portion being bifurcated, integrally formed into a pair of arms, that extend outwardly into the formation of cradle members that support the cable thereon. Tie members in combination with grommets are useful for holding the cable onto the bracket, at each cradle, and at that location between the pair of bracket arms at the location where they are integrally formed extending from the bracket shank portion.
