Abstract

An apparatus is disclosed for routing a communication cable within a crawlspace. The apparatus has a chain dangling from a means for supporting the apparatus. A generally hook-shaped saddle supports a communications cable thereacross. The saddle has a crown, a stem downwardly extending from the crown, and a generally semi-circular section outwardly extending from the stem and forming the saddle. The crown includes an open-ended slot for sliding onto a link of the chain. The crown can be positioned along the chain, thus varying the height of the saddle along the chain and helping maintain a desired routing of the communication cable.
