Eaton B449-8HDG Cable Saddle Bracket - 14 Gauge

The B449-8HDG uses 14 gauge steel and hot-dipped galvanized finish for superior corrosion resistance, making it suitable for harsh industrial environments, outdoor enclosures, and warehouse racking. This feature translates into longer service life and lower maintenance costs, especially when paired with Eaton B-Line strut systems and standard channel hardware. Designed for rugged environments, it supports bundles of cables, conduits, and small components. Its geometry provides uniform load distribution, reducing points of stress at the strut connection. The hot-dipped galvanizing provides long-term corrosion resistance even in humid facilities and outdoor applications. This enhances reliability in washdown zones and dusty environments. With precise dimensions—8.5 in length, 2.37 in height, and 1.62 in width—and a lightweight 1.24 lb profile, the bracket fits neatly into typical strut channel layouts while preserving clearance for cables and conduits. Engineers benefit from predictable fit and faster installation when planning an electrical enclosure or data center cabling. The 8.5 × 2.37 × 1.62 inch footprint supports multiple cable counts and bundles without crowding adjacent hardware. As a dedicated cable saddle bracket, it stabilizes cable runs, reduces chafing, and minimizes vibration under dynamic loads in panel assemblies. The design supports clean cable management in industrial installations, improving heat dissipation and inspection accessibility. The bracket's seating angle and saddle geometry reduce insulation wear, extending cabling life. Compatibility with Eaton Strut fittings and other B-Line accessories simplifies procurement and reduces part variety. The manufacturer catalogs and spec sheets—Strut Fittings Catalog Section and Eaton Specification Sheet—provide clear guidance for integration and installation. This compatibility extends to channel nuts, U-bolts, and other strut hardware from the Eaton catalog, enabling a consistent bill of materials. A low-maintenance solution that ships ready for standard hardware keeps installation time down and lifecycle costs predictable. Even in high-cycle environments, the corrosion-resistant finish and robust 14 gauge steel help ensure long-term reliability and compliance with general industry safety expectations. In retrofit projects or new builds, engineers appreciate the bracket's compact footprint and consistent performance across different cable types, including power, data, and control wiring. A final benefit is reduced downtime during modifications, thanks to straightforward installation and reliable, durable construction.
