B-LINE BCH64YL – Frequently Asked Questions
1) How many Cat6 or Cat6A cables can a B-Line BCH64YL 4-inch J-hook hold?
The BCH64YL is rated for up to 185 CAT6 cables or 98 CAT6A in its 4 inch saddle. If you are running 4-pair UTP 25 Cat 5e or 2-strand fiber, it takes up to 300. Those are fill figures, and the hook is also limited to a 30 lb load, so on heavy bundles the weight rating is what you size against.
2) Does the BCH64YL J-hook mount to a wall, or does it need beam or threaded rod?
It is a wall mount hook. The BCH64YL comes with a flat mounting bracket for attachment to a wall or other flat surface, so you do not need a beam clamp or rod. Pick the anchor to suit the substrate (drywall, block, stud) and the 30 lb rated load.
3) Is the B-Line BCH64YL UL listed for data cable support?
Yes, the BCH64YL carries UL/CUL listing. For institutional and healthcare specs that call for listed cable support hardware above ceilings, that is the credential inspectors look for.
4) How much space do I need above the ceiling for a BCH64YL J-hook?
Plan on roughly 6.81 in of height, 4.55 in of depth and 2 in of width for the assembly. In a tight plenum, measure the clear space between the ceiling grid and deck before committing to the 4 inch hook size.
5) Can I use this J-hook to support electrical branch circuit wiring?
No. The BCH64YL is a datacomm and low voltage support fastener, intended for structured cabling and fiber. Power wiring has its own support requirements and should not share these hooks.
6) Why is this cable hook safety yellow instead of galvanized?
The safety yellow finish on the BCH64YL makes the low voltage pathway easy to pick out overhead, which helps keep electricians and other trades from loading comms cable onto electrical supports or vice versa. It is still a steel hook underneath.
