B-LINE BCH64X – Frequently Asked Questions
1) How many Cat6 or Cat6A cables can a B-Line BCH64X 4 inch X-hook hold?
The Eaton B-Line BCH64X X-hook is rated for up to 300 4-pair UTP Cat 5e or 2-strand fiber optic runs, 185 Cat6, or 98 Cat6A. That is a bundle capacity, not a weight rating, so on a mixed tray of heavier jacketed cable you also need to respect the 30 lb load capacity of the hook.
2) Is the BCH64X a wall mount cable hook or does it need a separate bracket?
Wall mount is the configuration this X-hook ships in, so it fastens directly to a wall or structural surface without a separate mounting bracket. Each part carries one hook.
3) What size hook is the B-Line BCH64X and will a 4 inch bundle fit?
It is a 4 inch hook, which is the largest of the common J-hook sizes and is what you want for main horizontal pathway runs rather than short drops. Overall the part measures 6.81 inches high, 4.55 inches in length/depth, and 2 inches wide, so allow that envelope when spacing hooks along a wall or above a ceiling grid.
4) Why choose an X-hook with a Xylan coating instead of a plain steel J-hook?
The BCH64X is a steel J-hook with a 1-4 inch Xylan coating, which gives a low friction surface so cable pulls through the saddle without the jacket dragging or abrading. On long horizontal Cat6A runs where you are pulling many cables at once, that coating is the reason to spend up over a bare steel hook.
5) Can I use these hooks to support electrical power wiring as well as data cable?
No. These are datacomm and low voltage support fasteners, intended for structured cabling and fiber. Power circuits need their own approved support method and should not share the pathway.
6) What is the exact part number for the 4 inch B-Line wall mount X-hook?
Order it as Eaton B-Line BCH64X. That is the manufacturer part number for the 4 inch steel X-hook in the wall mount configuration.
