Q: Are COM Dangles UL listed?
A: Yes, in the US and Canada.
Q: Are COM Dangles plenum rated and suitable for air handling spaces?
A: Yes, they are UL listed in US and Canada for Plenum areas.
Q: Can COM Dangles be used with Cat 6A cable?
A: Yes, COM Dangles are UL listed for ALL data and communication cables. They are also UL listed for POE (Power Over Internet) cables.
Q: Is the new COM Dangles button/snap feature re-enterable?
A: Yes, it can be re-entered many times, the plastic retains its strength and hold.
Q: Can the new COM Dangles button/snap feature be used in other ¼ inch holes besides the multifunction clip?
A: Yes, it has been tested with most clips and fasteners as well as metal wall features with an available ¼ inch hole, and the COM Dangles Christmas tree type snap holds tight, well above the allowable load.
Q: Can COM Dangles be used with MC cable?
A: Yes, COM Dangles is UL listed for MC cable in the US.
Q: Do COM Dangles meet ANSI/TIA/EIA 569 standards?
A: Yes, COM Dangles meet all UL standards which are based on NEC standards. EIA/TIA standards are based on NEC standards. COM Dangles meet all ANSI/TIA/EIA 569 standards.
Q: What are COM Dangles made of?
A: COM Dangles are made from an advanced polymer with excellent corrosion and chemical resistance. They are light with exceptional abrasion and impact resistance over a wide range of temperatures. They also have excellent heat resistance and electrical properties with a very high electrical strength.
Q: Can COM Dangles be purchase preassembled with ceiling wire?
A: Yes, most distributers offer COM Dangles pre-assembled with ceiling wire and whatever top fastener you need (concrete nail, tek screw, lag screw, beam clamp, etc.).
Q: Why do fire marshals recommend COM Dangles over other plastic cable hangers?

Q: Are COM Dangles made in the USA?
A: Yes, COM Dangles are made in the USA!!!
Q: Are COM Dangles better than Metal J’s?
A: We think so, here’s why:
– The jackets of all data and communication cables are plastic. Metal J’s are harder on the surface. It is better to use the softer plastic of the COM Dangles.
– If Metal J’s are installed at constant distances, they can cause harmonic interference in the data communication stream.
– Metal J’s hard metal surfaces create points of contact forcing the cables to bend. COM Dangles conform to the cable creating an even cushion for the cables. (see below)
