Bryant BDS-U Single-Weave Bus Drop Cable Support Grip for Plug-In Units

The Bryant BDS-U is a single-weave bus drop cable support grip designed to provide secure strain relief and mechanical support for cables dropped from bus duct plug-in units and overhead electrical distribution systems. This grip family is available in six cable size options — Size 24, Size 32, Size 43, Size 56, Size 85, and Size 100 — allowing it to be matched to a wide range of cable diameters used in commercial and industrial bus drop installations. Built by Bryant, a trusted name in electrical distribution components, the BDS-U series is intended for use by qualified electrical contractors during new construction, retrofit, and maintenance projects, helping to prevent cable slippage, reduce stress on terminations, and maintain safe, code-compliant cable routing from bus duct to connected equipment. Whether supporting a single cable drop or part of a larger bus duct distribution run, each size in the BDS-U family is configured to integrate into standard bus drop hardware assemblies.

Bryant BDS24U – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What is a bus drop cable grip used for on a bus duct installation?
A bus drop grip takes the weight of the cable dropping from a bus duct plug-in unit so the load isn't carried by the terminations. The Bryant BDS-U is a single-weave grip built for exactly that: it holds the cable against slippage and spreads the pull along the weave instead of concentrating it at the connection point. It is a support and strain relief part, not a connector, so it does not terminate or splice anything.
2) Which Bryant BDS-U size do I order for my bus drop cable?
The BDS-U family comes in six cable size options, ordered by size number: BDS24U, BDS32U, BDS43U, BDS56U, BDS85U and BDS100U. The size is matched to the outside diameter of the cable being supported, so measure the cable OD over the jacket and select the grip whose range covers it. Ordering by size number alone is how these are specified.
3) Is a single-weave grip enough, or do I need a double-weave for a bus drop?
Single-weave is the configuration Bryant supplies in the BDS-U for bus drop plug-in unit support, and it is what these are built around. Double-weave mesh is generally reached for where higher holding strength on a given cable diameter is wanted. For a standard bus duct drop supporting one cable at the plug-in unit, the single-weave BDS-U is the intended part.
4) Can I use the Bryant BDS-U to support a single cable drop on a larger bus duct run?
Yes. Each size in the BDS-U family is configured to integrate into standard bus drop hardware assemblies, whether it is supporting one isolated cable drop or one of many drops on a longer bus duct distribution run. Each drop gets its own grip sized to that cable.
5) Is the BDS-U meant for new construction only, or can it be used on a retrofit?
Both. Bryant lists the BDS-U for new construction, retrofit and maintenance work on commercial and industrial bus duct systems. On a retrofit the practical constraint is cable diameter, not the age of the duct, so match the existing cable OD to one of the six grip sizes.
6) Will a bus drop grip keep my cable installation code compliant?
A grip like the BDS-U is the piece that maintains supported, secure cable routing from the bus duct down to the connected equipment, which is what an inspector looks for at a drop. It does not by itself make an installation compliant, and Bryant intends it to be installed by qualified electrical contractors as part of the drop assembly. Support spacing and method for the run as a whole still come from the code applicable to your job.
