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.

nVent CADDY MAC2 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What size MC cable does the nVent CADDY MAC2 stud clip hold?
The base MAC2 clip takes 14/2 through 10/3 AWG MC or AC cable, which covers most branch-circuit sizes on light commercial and residential rough-in. If your run uses a cable outside that range, order the MAC2T instead, which is the other cable-capacity option in the series.
2) Can the CADDY MAC2 clip be used on wood studs?
No. The MAC2 is built to snap onto steel stud framing, gripping the stud face with spring-tempered steel. There is no screw or nail fastening, so it will not attach to a wood stud. For wood framing you need a nail-on or screw-on MC cable strap instead.
3) What is the difference between the MAC2 and the MAC2T stud clip?
They are the same spring steel stud clip in two cable-capacity versions. The MAC2 is the base clip rated for 14/2 to 10/3 AWG MC/AC cable; the MAC2T is the alternate capacity option for runs where the base clip is not the right match. Cable size on the run is what decides which one you order.
4) Is the Erico Caddy MAC2 clip the same as the nVent CADDY MAC2?
Same clip, new name. The MAC2 was sold under the Erico Caddy brand before the line moved to nVent CADDY, and the spring-steel design carried over unchanged. Crews already using the Erico version can standardize on the nVent part without changing rough-in method.
5) Do I need screws or anchors to install the CADDY MAC2 MC cable clip?
No fasteners are required. The clip is spring-tempered steel that flexes over the stud and holds by tension, so it installs by hand with no drilling, screws or anchors. That is why it moves fast on multi-drop rough-in through electrical rooms.
6) Will the MAC2 clip hold armored (AC) cable, or is it MC only?
Both. The MAC2 stud clip is made for metal-clad (MC) and armored (AC) cable alike, holding the cable seated against the stud face between fastening points.
7) Can I use CADDY MAC2 clips in an interior steel-stud curtain wall?
Yes. Interior steel-stud curtain wall systems are one of the framing types the MAC2 clip is used in, along with standard steel-stud walls and partitions in new construction and renovation wiring.
