“Our Bridle Rings are the preferred choice for supporting and securing communication and other low voltage cables. Simple, effective, and constructed of solid low carbon steel with various diameter sizes and standard thread configurations. Combined with Platinum Tools’ other hanging hardware accessories, Bridle Rings are ideal for concrete, beam flanges, C Purlins, Z Purlins, and drop wire applications,” Phillips concluded
