Briscon SN-IB Series Insulated Cable Staples, Zinc-Plated Steel, 100-Pack

The Briscon SN-IB Series pairs a zinc-plated, low carbon steel staple with a color coded LDPE plastic insulator that sits between the staple and the cable jacket. Three sizes are offered, each in a 100-pack box: the blue SN-40-IB (1/2" W x 1" L) for common NM, AC, MC and UF branch circuit cable, the red SN-150-IB (1/2" W x 1-1/2" L) extra long staple that can hold two NM cables, and the gray SN-300-IB (13/16" W x 1-3/8" L) sized for larger NM, SE and UF cable. The insulator colors make it easy to grab the right size from the pouch, and all three are made in the USA.

Key Features

  • Color Coded Insulators: Blue (SN-40-IB), red (SN-150-IB) and gray (SN-300-IB) LDPE plastic insulators identify each size at a glance.
  • LDPE Insulator: Plastic insulator helps protect the cable jacket from the steel staple.
  • Zinc Plated Steel: Zinc plated low carbon steel body resists rust and corrosion.
  • Recessed Head: The recessed head drives quickly and helps protect the cable jacket and insulation.
  • Straight Driving Legs: Pointed, burr free legs with sharp tips start easily and drive straight to help prevent splitting the wood.
  • Hammer Driven: Designed to be driven into wood with a hammer; no special tool required.
  • Made in the USA: Manufactured in the United States.

Why Briscon?

Briscon has built cable staples and fasteners for the electrical trade for decades, and the line is now part of nVent Gardner Bender, which unites the Gardner Bender, Sperry Instruments, Bergen and Briscon product lines. The name and packaging are changing, but nVent states that the quality, specs, performance and reliability of these staples remain exactly the same. The color coded insulated line gives electricians a fast way to match staple size to cable size while adding a plastic buffer over the cable jacket.

Briscon SN-40-IB-100 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Which Briscon SN-IB staple size do I use for 12/2 Romex on a house rough-in?
Use the blue SN-40-IB, 1/2 inch wide by 1 inch long. It holds 14/2 through 10/3 non-metallic sheathed cable, which covers 12/2 Romex, plus 14/2 and 14/3 AC and MC cable and 14/2 and 12/2 UF. It comes 100 to a box.
2) Can I run two Romex cables under one cable staple?
Yes, with the red SN-150-IB. The extra long 1/2 inch wide by 1-1/2 inch staple holds either one 14/2 through 10/3 NM cable or two 14/2 through 12/3 NM cables, and it also takes 14/2 and 12/2 UF. Stacking two cables under one staple is exactly what that length is for.
3) What does the plastic insulator on an insulated cable staple actually do?
The color coded LDPE insulator sits between the steel staple and the cable jacket, so the metal never bears directly on the sheathing. The recessed head also drives down without cutting into the jacket. That is the difference between the SN-IB line and a plain bare steel staple.
4) Do the insulator colors on Briscon SN-IB staples mean anything?
They identify size. Blue is the SN-40-IB, red is the extra long SN-150-IB, and gray is the wide SN-300-IB. On a rough-in you can pull the right size out of the pouch by color instead of measuring.
5) Do I need a special stapler for these, or are they hammer driven?
Hammer driven, no tool required. The legs are pointed and burr free with sharp tips so they start easily and drive straight into wood framing rather than splitting it.
6) Can I use these staples on MC and AC cable, or are they only for Romex?
Both. The blue SN-40-IB takes 14/2 and 14/3 armored (AC) and metal clad (MC) cable, and the gray SN-300-IB takes 8/3 AC and 8/3 MC. UF underground feeder is covered too: 14/2 and 12/2 on the blue and red, 10/3 on the gray.
7) Will these cable staples rust in a damp basement or crawl space?
The body is zinc-plated low carbon steel, which resists rust and corrosion. Note these are wood fasteners driven into studs, joists and rafters, so they suit framing in a basement or crawl space, not masonry.
8) Are Briscon SN-IB staples the same product now that they are under nVent Gardner Bender?
Same staple. The Briscon line is now part of nVent Gardner Bender alongside Gardner Bender, Sperry Instruments and Bergen, and nVent states the quality, specs and performance are unchanged. Name and packaging are what changed. They are still made in the USA.
9) How many staples come in a box, and what part number do I order for the blue ones?
Each box holds 100 staples. The blue is SN-40-IB-100, the red extra long is SN-150-IB-100, and the gray wide one is SN-300-IB-100.
