B-LINE BCH64 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) How many Cat6 or Cat6A cables can a 4 inch B-Line BCH64 J-hook hold?
The BCH64 is a 4 inch J-hook rated to carry up to 300 four-pair UTP Cat5e (or 2-strand fiber optic) cables, 185 Cat6, or 98 Cat6A. Those counts are the fill capacity of the saddle, and they drop as cable diameter goes up, which is why Cat6A comes in at roughly a third of the Cat5e number. Total load on the hook is capped at 30 lbs regardless of count.
2) Is the BCH64 J-hook a wall mount or a threaded rod / beam clamp style hanger?
Wall mount. The BCH64 ships as a single J-hook on a wall mount bracket, so it fastens flat to a stud, wall, or other vertical surface. If you are running cable off threaded rod, off a bar joist, or off the underside of deck, this is the wrong attachment style and you want a hook with a rod, clamp, or beam attachment instead.
3) Does 30 lb load capacity mean I can hang 300 Cat5e cables off one BCH64 hook?
Not necessarily. The 300-cable figure is how much the 4 in saddle will physically hold; 30 lbs is the structural limit of the hook. On long runs a full Cat5e bundle can exceed 30 lbs between supports, so size your hook spacing to the weight, not just the fill. The number of hooks is one per piece, so the count you order is the count you install.
4) Is the Eaton B-Line BCH64 J-hook UL listed for low voltage cable support?
It carries a UL/CUL listing. That is the line item an inspector or a spec-driven institutional buyer usually wants on a datacomm support fastener, and it covers both US and Canadian listing.
5) Can the BCH64 J-hook be used outdoors or in a damp area?
The hook is steel with a pre-galvanized finish. Pre-galv gives light corrosion protection suited to dry interior runs, telecom rooms, and plenum spaces. For exterior, washdown, or corrosive environments, specify a hot-dip galvanized or stainless cable hook rather than pre-galv.
6) Are mounting screws or anchors included with the BCH64 cable hook?
The BCH64 is supplied as the wall mount J-hook itself, one hook per piece, in pre-galvanized steel. Fasteners into your wall substrate are chosen for that substrate (wood screw, drywall or masonry anchor, self-drilling screw into metal stud) and are ordered separately.
7) What is the exact Eaton part number for this 4 inch wall mount J-hook?
Order it as B-Line BCH64, an Eaton B-Line series datacomm and low voltage support fastener. The 4 in hook size and the wall mount bracket are what separate it from the rod-mount and clamp-mount hooks in the same family.
