Cable Staples & Spacers

Cable Staples & Spacers keep wires tidy, protected, and code-compliant across residential, commercial, and low-voltage installs. From NM-B Romex and thermostat wire to coaxial and Cat6 Ethernet, the right fastener locks each run in place without pinching jackets or flattening pairs.

This selection includes insulated cable staples, metal U-staples with plastic saddles, nail-in and screw-in clips, stackable spacers, standoff brackets, and UV-rated outdoor options. Choose zinc-plated steel for strength, stainless for corrosion resistance, and nylon or polyethylene saddles to cushion data and speaker wires. For concrete and brick, look for hardened masonry clips. Fire-resistant and plenum-rated pieces support HVAC and ceiling applications.

Sizing and spacing matter. Match the staple or clip to the cable OD, typically choosing a size that allows a hair of movement; never crush the jacket. For NM-B, support within 12 inches of boxes and every 4.5 feet. For data and coax, support every 3–4 feet, maintain bend radius, and keep separation from power lines. Use spacers or standoffs to stack multiple runs cleanly, improve airflow, and organize pathways along studs, joists, and baseboards.

Install with a hammer, impact-rated driver, or a cable staple gun designed for insulated saddles. Start nails square to the surface, drive, and stop as soon as the saddle seats. Outdoors, pick UV-stable plastics and stainless fasteners; in damp areas, use corrosion-resistant hardware. Color-matched clips can blend with trim for a clean finish.

Whether you’re routing home theater speaker wire, building a home network, dressing security camera cable, or running garage lighting, cable staples and spacers reduce sag, prevent abrasion, and create a professional look. Shop by cable type, diameter, material, nail length, and surface compatibility to get reliable, neat wire management that lasts. Popular sizes fit single or twin runs, and color-coded saddles make identification easy on larger jobs for faster audits.
