Arlington Industries JC12 1/2" Suspension Jack Chain

The Arlington Industries Suspension Jack Chain is a 1/2" jack chain built for hanging and suspending light fixtures, lamps, and other electrical or utility equipment on the job site. Its interlocking oval-link jack chain design lets installers adjust hanging length simply by opening or closing individual links, without needing specialty tools. As part of the Arlington Industries line of electrical hardware and accessories, this jack chain gives electricians and contractors a practical, straightforward option for common fixture-mounting tasks across residential, commercial, and light industrial installations.

Key Features

  • Chain Size: 1/2" jack chain link size, sized to match standard fixture-hanging hardware and mounting hooks.
  • Jack Chain Design: Traditional interlocking oval-link construction allows the chain to be shortened or lengthened section by section to match the required hanging drop.
  • Easy Field Adjustment: Links can be opened and closed by hand or with common pliers, letting installers dial in the exact hanging length on site without cutting tools.
  • Field-Cuttable Length: Because the chain is made of linked segments, installers can quickly remove links to shorten the chain to the exact length needed for a given application.
  • Versatile Suspension Use: Suited for hanging light fixtures, lamps, signage, and other lightweight equipment that requires a suspended mount.
  • Compact, Space-Saving Profile: The 1/2" link size keeps the chain compact while still providing a secure point-to-point suspension connection.
  • Arlington Industries Brand: Manufactured by Arlington Industries, a recognized supplier of electrical fittings, connectors, and hardware to the electrical trade.

Arlington Industries ARLJC12 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) How much jack chain do you get with Arlington JC12, and is it sold by the foot or by the pack?
The Arlington JC12 ships as a pack of 100, not cut to a per-foot order. It is 1/2 inch jack chain, so a shop stocking it for repeat fixture hangs gets a full pack rather than a single drop length. For a single fixture you will be cutting your drop out of that stock.
2) Can I shorten jack chain on site without a cutting tool?
Yes. The JC12 uses interlocking oval links that open and close by hand or with common pliers, so you set the hanging drop by removing or adding links instead of cutting. That is the practical reason electricians use jack chain over cable or rod for fixture drops: no cut-off wheel, no rethreading, and the leftover links go back in the bucket.
3) What is 1/2 inch jack chain actually rated to hang, and what should I not use it for?
The 1/2 inch refers to the link size on the JC12, not a load rating. It is intended for light fixtures, lamps, signage, and other lightweight suspended electrical or utility equipment. It is not a rigging or structural chain, so anything heavy, anything over occupied space where a load figure is required, or any seismic or safety-cable duty on a commercial fixture should be hung on hardware carrying a published load rating instead.
4) Is jack chain the right choice for hanging a shop light, or should I use aircraft cable?
Jack chain like the Arlington JC12 wins when the drop height may change or has to be matched fixture to fixture across a row: you pull links until the height is right, with no cutting and no fittings to crimp. Aircraft cable and gripper hardware is the better call when you want a clean, near-invisible drop, a fixed height, or a rated load path. For rows of strip lights in a garage, warehouse aisle, or basement, chain is faster to level.
5) What part number do I order for Arlington 1/2 inch jack chain?
Order Arlington Industries part JC12. That is the 1/2 inch suspension jack chain, and it is the only size on that number, so there is no size suffix to specify.
6) Can property maintenance use this for signage and non-lighting hangs, not just fixtures?
Yes. Beyond lamps and ceiling fixtures, the JC12 is used for mounting signage, lightweight displays, and general utility hanging on residential, commercial, and light industrial jobs. Anywhere a light object needs a point-to-point suspended mount at an adjustable height, it works the same way: hang it, pull links until it sits level.
