Cable support bar?

[SarcasticDwarf]

Is there such a thing for channeling and straightening up NM cables? I am thinking about a couple of places where a number of wires are exposed and look like ****. In particular, they are places where it is difficult to get a hammer to in order to use standard staples.

Picture?

Picture?

I can't find anything like it. I picture a ~18" wide bar with some sort of clips built on.

Check Erico/caddy. They make all kinds of conduit and cable supports

Wooden or sheetmetal cable tray? Thinking HVAC ductwork, I forget if its 24 or 26 ga, but I think the box stores have it in raw sheets. Then just need a way to bend it.

No,I meant a picture of what you're trying to support.

Unistrut and zip ties won’t cut it?

That is what I was thinking of as a last resort. I figured that someone would have made a product dedicated to this purpose by now.

These things>https://www.homedepot.com/p/Oatey-5...PIPHorizontal3_rr-_-301505433-_-301505427-_-N can be cut and bent to fit.
The holes are spaced every inch or so and ty-wraps can be run through the holes.
I've used them for that purpose inside of walls, but there is not reason you couldn't use them outside as well.
They're in the Plumbing Dept

Depending on situation, one could possibly bandsaw split an appropriate size PVC conduit to cover a few cables.

Although it wouldn't be a violation for the number of wires in a conduit, I would still be subject to the derating rule.

Why ?? ?? ??

Are "Romex Staples" against your Religion ?

Much sturdier install than chinese zip ties, or any kinda ""Similar"" around the circumference of a 2x4...or 2x6 or whatever.

[nadogail]

Where I did this, the cables lie on the 1X2 running boards and the zip ties keep them from sliding off.

I use cable stackers.
