Cooper B-Line's BRC6M Cable Support Offers Simple, Secure Support of Metal Clad Cable

New one-piece design offers easy installation and includes a higher cable capacity

HIGHLAND, IL, February 12, 2013 - Cooper B-Line, a global provider of innovative, labor-saving support systems and enclosure solutions for engineered facility subsystem applications, has improved upon its BRC6M cable support design to create a stronger, more installer friendly product. Featuring improved rigidity, the redesigned product can support up to six runs of metal clad (MC) cable all in an easy-to-use, one-piece design.

Ideal for conventional new construction, the new BRC6M cable support offers a one-piece design that includes a unique stud mounting feature. Utilizing this innovative design, installers can simply push the support onto the stud where it can be left, hands-free until eventually securing with a screw. The new "zip tie" closing feature allows for easier and more reliable securing of cables. The improved design also allows the support to be securely fastened to the stud using only one screw, without sacrificing rigidity, reducing install time and material costs.
"We're continually looking for innovative ways to improve upon our products and think we have another winner with the redesigned BRC6M cable support bracket," said James Anderson, Cooper B-Line Product Line Manager. "Not only is it stronger and more installer friendly, it vastly improves the installation process for contractors. It's an ideal solution for contractors looking to improve efficiencies on the job."
The new BRC6M cable support features stiffening ribs and more material to create a solution that is stronger than the competition and ensures compliance with NEC Article 300.4 (D). New BRC6M cable
support systems are cULus rated and can easily secure NM, MC, and AC cable types.
