B-LINE BCH32BR – Frequently Asked Questions
1) How many Cat6 or Cat6A cables can a B-Line BCH32BR 2 inch J-hook hold?
The BCH32BR carries up to 80 4-pair UTP Cat 5e or 2-strand fiber optic runs, 50 Cat6, or 25 Cat6A. Those counts drop as the cable gets fatter because the 2 inch hook saddle is the limit, not the 30 lb load rating. If you are running a Cat6A backbone, plan bundles at the 25-cable figure and add hooks rather than overfilling one.
2) Can the BCH32BR cable hook be mounted to a wall, or is it only for overhead threaded rod?
It is a wall mount J-hook. The BCH32BR has a flat mounting wing for fastening directly to a wall, stud, or other flat surface, so it is what you use to run cable horizontally along a corridor wall or vertically down a riser. It is not a rod or beam clamp style hook, so if you are hanging off all-thread or structure you need the hook with the matching attachment instead.
3) Is this J-hook UL listed for low voltage cable support in a plenum or commercial building?
The B-Line BCH32BR is UL/CUL listed. For a spec-driven job or an institutional inspection that matters, since NEC requires independent support for communications cable rather than laying it on ceiling grid or pipe, a listed hook is what the inspector looks for.
4) Is 30 lbs enough capacity for a Cat6 bundle on a J-hook?
Yes for the bundle sizes the hook is rated to carry. The BCH32BR is steel with a 30 lb load capacity, and the cable counts it supports (50 Cat6, 25 Cat6A) sit inside that. The practical ceiling on a 2 inch hook is bundle diameter, not weight, so you will fill the saddle before you approach 30 lbs.
5) Can I run fiber optic cable in this hook without damaging it?
The BCH32BR is rated for 2-strand fiber optic runs as well as copper. The wide 2 inch saddle is the reason: it spreads the load across a broad radius instead of pinching the cable the way a tie-wrap or a narrow bracket does, which is what protects bend radius on fiber and pair geometry on Cat6A.
6) Do I need to order fasteners separately for the BCH32BR?
Yes. The BCH32BR ships as the steel hook itself, one J-hook per piece, in brown. The anchor or screw is selected to suit your substrate, so specify drywall anchors, wood screws, or masonry anchors for the wall you are fastening to.
7) What part number do I quote for a brown 2 inch B-Line wall mount J-hook?
Order by MPN BCH32BR from Eaton B-Line. It is the brown, 2 inch, wall mount version of the datacomm and low voltage support fastener line, so if your spec calls out a different hook size or a rod or beam attachment, that will be a different number in the same family.
