ARL-CS20 (Product Description)
The ARL-CS20 is a nail-in non-metallic cable support used to secure and organize NM (Romex) electrical cables along a wood or metal stud during rough-in wiring.
Product Description
This is a plastic cable stacker/support bracket with an integrated nail designed to hold multiple NM cables neatly in place while maintaining proper spacing from the stud face.
It is installed by simply driving the built-in nail into a stud, then inserting cables into the support channels. This keeps wiring aligned, reduces stress on cables, and helps ensure proper code-compliant routing during framing.
The CS20 is designed to support multiple cable combinations and is commonly used in residential and light commercial electrical work.
