nVent CADDY Series Spring Steel MC/AC Stud Clip

nVent CADDY MAC2 Series Spring Steel MC/AC Stud Clip

The nVent CADDY MAC2 Series MC/AC Stud Clip is a compact, spring-tempered steel fastener engineered to secure metal-clad (MC) and armored (AC) cable directly to steel studs in commercial and residential construction. The MAC2 family is offered in two cable-capacity options — MAC2 and MAC2T — so electricians can match the clip to the branch-circuit cable size on the job, with the base MAC2 clip accommodating 14/2-10/3 AWG MC/AC cable. Formerly marketed under the Erico Caddy name, these stud clips are now part of the nVent CADDY cable support and fastening line, carrying forward the same spring-steel design electricians have relied on for MC/AC installations for years. Because each clip mounts straight to the stud face, cable runs stay organized and off the floor of the stud cavity during rough-in, helping crews move faster through multi-drop electrical rooms.

Key Features

• Durable Construction: Manufactured from spring-tempered steel that flexes to grip the stud and holds the cable securely once seated, resisting loosening as the run is pulled and dressed.
• Cable Capacity Options: Available as MAC2 or MAC2T, giving electricians a choice of clip to match the MC/AC cable size required on a given run.
• Wire Range (MAC2): The MAC2 clip accommodates 14/2-10/3 AWG MC/AC cable, covering the most common branch-circuit cable sizes used in light commercial and residential wiring.
• Stud Clip Design: Purpose-built to attach directly to steel studs, positioning MC/AC cable along the stud face for an organized, code-minded cable run through the framing.
• MC/AC Cable Support: Designed specifically for metal-clad (MC) and armored (AC) cable installations in steel-stud framing, keeping cable seated and supported between fastening points.
• nVent CADDY Line: Part of the nVent CADDY fastener portfolio, previously marketed in the field as the Erico Caddy MAC2 clip, so the same clip crews already know is still available.

Why nVent CADDY?

nVent CADDY has built a reputation among electrical contractors for fastening and cable support products that hold up to real jobsite demands. The MAC2 series' spring-tempered steel construction reflects that same focus on dependable, repeatable performance, making the MAC2 and MAC2T clips a practical, code-minded choice for securing MC/AC cable — including 14/2-10/3 AWG on the base MAC2 — to steel studs on commercial and residential projects. Because these clips carry the same design lineage as the original Erico Caddy MAC2 clip, contractors already familiar with that fastener can standardize on the nVent CADDY version without changing their rough-in methods.
