A support clip for supporting cable in a generally horizontal position. The support clip comprises a generally J-shaped hook having a central cable supporting portion and first and second legs extending up from opposite ends of the central cable supporting portion. The clip further comprises a retaining member movable from a cable receiving position in which the retaining member is attached to the first leg and held in a position in which the retaining member does not interfere with insertion or removal of the cable in or from the support clip, to a cable retaining position in which the retaining member extends from the first leg to the second leg generally parallel to the central cable supporting portion to retain the cable within the hook of the support clip, and back to its cable receiving position.
