The arms and locking projections are configured to spread apart to enable insertion of a cable into a space between the arms, and the locking projections are configured to be inserted into the aperture of the supporting structure. The cable hanger further includes: a pair of tabs extending inwardly from each arm into the space between the arms; and a gripping finger extending generally perpendicularly from each tab and generally tangentially to an outer surface of the cable.
