Cable Staples for NM Cable

The ABB 17-124TB cable staples are designed to secure NM cable against framing or other surfaces. Each staple features a zinc-plated steel construction for corrosion resistance and a plastic saddle that protects the cable jacket from damage during installation. The 100-piece pack suits residential and light commercial wiring projects.

Thermals Noise and Power

As passive mechanical fasteners these staples generate no heat produce no noise and draw no electrical power. The zinc-plated finish resists oxidation in damp environments while the steel legs maintain holding strength over time. Performance depends on the substrate density and the installer's staple gun calibration.

Plastic Saddle and Zinc Finish

The integrated plastic saddle prevents insulation cutting on NM cable while the zinc plating adds a barrier against moisture. Legs measure 31.75 mm with a 25.4 mm back width to grip standard framing lumber. The pack dimensions are 12.6 x 6.1 x 5.4 inches for shelf storage. Builders needing insulated staples for low-voltage data cable or larger conduit straps will need different hardware.

Questions about this item

How do I install the 17-124TB staples and what is the common mistake?

Use a compatible staple gun to drive the zinc-plated steel legs 31.75 mm into the framing; the frequent error is over-driving which crushes the NM cable insulation under the plastic saddle.

What maintenance or replacement will these staples need later?

The zinc-plated steel resists corrosion, but inspect annually for rust on exposed legs; replace any staple showing white oxidation or loose grip to maintain cable support.

What limit appears first during sustained use of the 17-124TB staples?

The 25.4 mm back width and 31.75 mm leg length restrict use to single-layer NM cable; stacking multiple cables exceeds the saddle capacity and reduces holding power.
