UNSPSC 31163216: Cable hanger

Used as a positioning connector (hanger) on a wire rope, it allows the wire rope to be inserted into a cam from only one direction without allowing the rope to slip or pull out. It consists of a metal frame with an eye (loop) at one end and a metal cam inside the frame. Once it is slid on the span of the wire rope, it is connected from the eye end to an anchor.

UNSPSC 31163216 Cable hanger is a Commodity code covering fastening and support hardware for electrical cabling and conduit systems installed across state and local infrastructure. State and local governments procure cable hangers as a subset of broader electrical supply and construction contracts that encompass conduit, raceways, fittings, wire, lighting, controls, and distribution equipment. The work spans districtwide electrical maintenance, data and voice cabling installation, industrial electrical repairs, and law enforcement equipment deployments. Issuing bodies include school districts (Pinellas County Schools in Florida, Northside Independent School District in Texas), transportation authorities (Orange County Transportation Authority in California), state procurement offices (Texas Department of Information Resources), and regional cooperative purchasing vehicles serving multiple jurisdictions (Sourcewell on behalf of Washington and other states).
