What is the best way to attach CCTV/alarm cable bundles to the metal frame members in a warehouse?


e members in a warehouse?

I presume that you are talking about the "truss" bars holding up the ceilin g (?)

If so, I usually run the cable along the connecting angle iron that runs fr om truss to truss as support and then branch out to the side walls suportin g the cables via the angles at the bottom of the trusses. I use tie wraps. Wires are clamped to side walls using various types of clamps determined by the size of the bundle/wire. Sometimes down walls via conduit ..... metal or plastic. If you're talking about large bundles then there are various ty pes of cable trays, hooks and support products that are available

For metal stud I like to punch holes and put in plastic bushings.
