A cable support system for use on roofs comprises a cable support bracket with a raised center portion, having a plurality of spaced apertures located thereon, walls extending downwardly from said raised portion to form a channel therebetween and flange portions extending outwardly from the base of said walls having apertures at the end of each flange portion. The system further includes a roof pad to which the bracket is affixed with mounting means extending through the flange apertures. The bracket is mounted perpendicularly to the cables which are secured in position by snap in hanger brackets which extend through the apertures in the cable support bracket. A second bracket extension may be mounted above the bracket increasing the cable capacity. A substantially U-shaped cover is mounted over the cable and secured to adjacent brackets. The cover includes an upper surface and downwardly extending side portions.
