nVent CADDY CAT Series Steel J-Hook, Cable Support Fitting

The nVent CADDY CAT Series Steel J-Hook is a family of cable support fittings engineered for fast, secure routing of low-voltage and communications cabling above ceilings and along structural framing. The CAT Series spans five steel J-Hook models — CAT12, CAT16HP, CAT21HP, CAT32HP, and CAT64HP — sized from the 3/4-Inch CAT12 up through the higher-capacity CAT64HP, giving electrical and low-voltage contractors a single hook style to standardize on across a job site. Built from durable steel with an open-hook profile, every CAT Series J-Hook is designed for consistent, repeatable performance in commercial and industrial cable support systems.

Cable support hooks like the CAT Series are a staple of structured cabling projects, offering a simple alternative to J-hooks welded or clamped in place. By providing a dedicated steel support point in a range of sizes, the nVent CADDY CAT Series helps installers keep communications and low-voltage cable off of ceiling tiles, HVAC ductwork, and other trades' infrastructure, supporting cleaner overhead pathways throughout the job site.

Key Features

  • Trade Size: The CAT Series lineup begins with the 3/4-Inch CAT12 and extends through the higher-capacity CAT16HP, CAT21HP, CAT32HP, and CAT64HP models for larger cable bundles.
  • Durable Construction: Manufactured from steel for long-term strength and support in demanding commercial and industrial environments.
  • CAT Series Design: A five-model lineup — CAT12, CAT16HP, CAT21HP, CAT32HP, and CAT64HP — engineered for efficient, repeatable cable routing across a range of bundle sizes.
  • Open J-Hook Profile: Simplified hook geometry allows cable bundles to be set in place or removed without disassembling hardware.
  • Model Options: Available under the CAT12, CAT16HP, CAT21HP, CAT32HP, and CAT64HP model designations from nVent CADDY (formerly Erico) for accurate specification and reordering.
  • Overhead Cable Support: Designed to hold cable bundles above finished ceilings and along structural members, keeping runs organized and off other trades' equipment.
  • Job-Site Consistency: Uniform CAT Series geometry allows contractors to standardize on a single hook style across a project for faster takeoffs and ordering.

Why nVent CADDY?

nVent CADDY, formerly known as Erico, brings a legacy of engineered cable support solutions to the CAT Series lineup.

nVent CADDY CAT12 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Which nVent CADDY CAT Series J-Hook model should I order for my cable bundle size?
The CAT Series runs five steel models: CAT12, CAT16HP, CAT21HP, CAT32HP and CAT64HP. The CAT12 is the 3/4-inch hook and is the smallest of the group; capacity steps up through the HP models, with CAT64HP handling the largest bundles in the family. Pick the model by the bundle you are supporting, and keep the same hook style across the run so takeoffs and reorders stay simple.
2) Are CAT J-Hooks meant for power conduit or for low-voltage and data cable?
These are cable support fittings for low-voltage and communications cabling, structured cabling, data center wiring, and above-ceiling network and security runs. They are not a conduit strap. If you are hanging EMT or rigid conduit, you want a conduit clamp or hanger instead of a J-hook.
3) Can I drop cable into a CAT Series J-Hook without taking hardware apart?
Yes. The CAT Series uses an open J-hook profile, so bundles get set into the hook or pulled back out without disassembling anything. That is the practical difference from a closed ring or a clamped support, and it is why these move fast on a structured cabling pull.
4) What are nVent CADDY CAT J-Hooks made of, and will they hold up in an industrial ceiling?
Steel across all five models. The CAT Series is built for commercial and industrial overhead cable support, holding communications and low-voltage runs off ceiling tiles, ductwork and other trades' equipment.
5) Is nVent CADDY the same as Erico when I am matching hooks already installed on a job?
Same company. nVent CADDY was formerly Erico, so CAT Series hooks specified under the old Erico name carry through under the CAT12, CAT16HP, CAT21HP, CAT32HP and CAT64HP designations today. Order by that model number and you will match what is already up.
6) Which part number do I put on a purchase order for the 3/4-inch CAT hook?
CAT12 is the 3/4-inch hook in the nVent CADDY CAT Series. The MPN is simply CAT12, no suffix. The larger hooks carry the HP designation: CAT16HP, CAT21HP, CAT32HP, CAT64HP.
7) Where can I get the full mounting and load data for CAT Series J-Hooks?
nVent CADDY publishes the complete CAT Series data in its full catalog, available at zensupply.com/content/pdf/nvent-caddy/nvent-caddy-full-catalog.pdf. That is the source for mounting attachment options and per-model capacity figures before you finalize a spec.
