B-LINE BLCD8 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) How many low voltage cables can a 2.5 inch B-Line BLCD8 cable support ring hold?
The BLCD8 is a 2.5 inch ring, and Eaton B-Line rates its fill at 40 percent maximum based on TIA 569-B rather than a fixed cable count. So you size the bundle to the cable OD you are running and stop at 40 percent of the ring's cross section, which leaves room for future adds and keeps the bundle from crushing the jackets on the lower cables.
2) How far apart should I space BLCD8 cable support rings in a ceiling run?
Five feet between supports is the spacing Eaton B-Line specifies for this dangle cable support system. On long corridor runs that means a support roughly every five feet, plus one near each change of direction and at each drop so the bundle is never carrying its own weight between points.
3) What is the load rating on the B-Line BLCD8 cable support?
20 lb per support. That is the cable bundle weight each ring is rated to carry, so on a heavy Cat 6 or coax bundle the 20 lb limit usually governs before the 2.5 inch ring runs out of fill space. Split the run across additional supports rather than overloading one ring.
4) Is the B-Line BLCD8 cable support UL Listed and RoHS compliant for a commercial job?
Both. The BLCD8 is UL Listed and RoHS compliant, which is what most institutional and government spec packages ask for on datacomm pathway hardware. Combined with the TIA 569-B 40 percent fill basis, it gives you documentation on the three things a plan reviewer normally questions.
5) Can I use these B-Line data support rings for electrical power wiring instead of network cable?
No. The BLCD8 is built as a datacomm and low voltage support fastener, sized and fill rated for communications cable bundles. Power branch circuit conductors need conduit or a raceway support method per the electrical code, not an open dangle support ring.
6) What part number do I order for the 2.5 inch B-Line dangle cable support?
Order Eaton B-Line MPN BLCD8. That is the 2.5 inch ring version of the dangle cable support system, so specify it by that number when you are standardizing a building's low voltage pathway on one ring size.
7) What is the BLCD8 support ring made of, and will it chafe the cable jacket?
Advanced polymer, in a neutral color. A polymer ring means no metal edge riding against the jacket the way a bare threaded rod or a cut hole in strut would, which is the usual reason installers move away from improvised supports on low voltage runs.
