Cable Staples STANLEY Type 7 CT100 for securing electrical and data cables

STANLEY Cable Staples Type 7 CT100 are metal fasteners designed to secure electrical and data cables to structural surfaces. These staples are suitable for fixing single conductors or small cable bundles to wood, masonry with appropriate anchors, or within prepared cable channels. The product is intended for applications that require reliable mechanical retention and basic strain relief for low-voltage wiring and light data cabling.

Advantages

Type 7 CT100 staples feature a curved head profile that holds cables gently while ensuring a secure mechanical grip. The metal construction provides durability for repeated use and resistance to deformation during installation. Their shape and size make them well suited to telephone cable and other low-voltage wiring where maintaining cable shape and avoiding insulation damage are important.

Suitable for

• Fixing telephone and other low-voltage communication cables
• Securing single electrical conductors along wooden surfaces
• Organising small cable bundles in workshops or utility rooms
• Fastening cables within cable raceways or on battens

Key specifications

• Material: metal staple wire suitable for mechanical fastening
• Head profile: curved head designed for cable retention without cutting insulation
• Intended cable type: single conductors and small bundled low-voltage/data cables
• Application surfaces: wood, prepared masonry, cable raceways and battens
• Use case: mechanical fastening and basic strain relief for low-voltage installations

How to use

Position the cable along the desired route and place the staple over the cable so the curved head sits evenly without compressing the insulation. Use an appropriate hammer to drive the staple legs into the mounting surface until the head makes firm contact; avoid overdriving which can deform the cable or damage insulation. For masonry or hard surfaces use suitable wall plugs or pre-drilled holes as required. Space staples at intervals consistent with local wiring practices to maintain neat routing and support.

Usage recommendations

Do not compress cable insulation excessively when installing; allow the curved head to cradle the cable. For power circuits or larger cable bundles, select fastening products rated for higher mechanical loads and comply with local electrical codes. Wear eye protection when hammering and check that staples do not penetrate conductor insulation.
