Cable Clips
Our range of cable clips provides a practical and reliable solution for securing electrical wiring, data cables and low-voltage installations to walls, ceilings and other surfaces. Available in a variety of sizes, materials and styles, our electrical cable clips are designed to keep cables neatly positioned while reducing loose or unsupported wiring. From plastic cable clips for everyday installations to metal clips for cables requiring additional fire resistance, we supply a selection of cable fixing solutions for professional electricians, contractors and general maintenance applications.
Our range includes flat, round, bell wire and metal cable clips, offering reliable fixing solutions for a wide variety of electrical installations. From securing Twin and Earth wiring in domestic properties to supporting data cables, alarm systems and industrial wiring, these clips help keep cables securely positioned and neatly organised. Available in different sizes and materials, our nail on cable clips and metal fixing options provide practical solutions for both everyday cable management and more demanding electrical applications.
Types of Cable Clips Available
Different electrical installations require different cable fixing methods. Our selection includes several types of cable clips designed to accommodate various cable shapes, sizes and mounting requirements.
- Flat Cable Clips – Designed for flat electrical cables such as Twin and Earth wiring. Manufactured with durable HDPE bodies and hardened steel nails for fixing to suitable timber and masonry surfaces.
- Round Cable Clips – Suitable for securing round electrical cables, coaxial cables and data wiring. Manufactured from durable Polypropylene and available in multiple sizes and colours.
- Bell Wire Clips – Compact cable fixings designed for smaller diameter wiring, including bell wire, alarm cables and other low-voltage applications.
- Metal Cable Clips – Designed for applications requiring improved fire resistance and mechanical durability. Suitable products can provide fire-resistant cable support where required by electrical installation regulations.
Plastic Cable Clips for Everyday Electrical Installations
Plastic cable clips are widely used in domestic, commercial and industrial environments where cables need to be secured neatly against a surface. Their lightweight construction and straightforward installation make them particularly suitable for routing electrical wiring around rooms, securing data cables and organising low-voltage systems.
Our nail on cable clips feature pre-inserted hardened steel nails that allow the clip to be positioned over a cable and fixed into a suitable mounting surface. This provides a convenient method of securing electrical wires with clips without the need for separate cable brackets.
For smaller wiring applications, our range also includes compact wire clip options suitable for bell wire, alarm systems and other low-voltage cables. Choosing the correct clip size is important to avoid excessive pressure on the cable insulation.
Metal Cable Clips for Fire-Resistant Cable Support
Metal clips for cables provide an alternative to plastic fixings in installations where improved fire resistance is required. These electrical cable clips are commonly used in commercial buildings, industrial facilities and escape routes where wiring systems must be adequately supported during a fire.
Suitable metal cable clips can help meet the cable support requirements of BS 7671, including Regulation 521.10.202, which requires wiring systems to be supported against premature collapse in the event of a fire. For fire detection and alarm installations, the relevant requirements of BS 5839-1 should also be considered.
When selecting metal cable clips, always check the individual product specifications and ensure the complete fixing arrangement is suitable for the installation and supporting surface.

Common Applications for Cable Clips
Cable clips are used across a wide range of electrical and cable management applications, from domestic wiring projects to professional commercial installations. Their simple design makes them useful wherever cables need to be held securely against a surface.
- Domestic Electrical Installations – Securing Twin and Earth cables along walls, joists and suitable mounting surfaces.
- Commercial Buildings – Supporting electrical wiring and cable runs in offices, shops and other commercial environments.
- Data and Telecommunications – Fixing coaxial cables, network cables and communication wiring.
- Alarm and Security Systems – Securing bell wire, alarm cables and smaller low-voltage wiring.
- Industrial Equipment – Organising suitable cables around machinery and electrical installations.
- Fire Safety Installations – Providing suitable metal cable support where resistance to premature collapse is required.
- DIY and General Maintenance – Keeping cables neatly routed along skirting boards, walls and other suitable surfaces.
How to Choose the Correct Cable Clip Size
When selecting electrical cable clips, consider the cable's outside dimensions, profile and the surface to which it will be fixed. Flat cable clips are designed for flat wiring profiles, while round cable clips are better suited to circular cables. The clip should hold the cable securely without crushing or damaging its insulation.
For smaller diameter cables, compact wire clips may provide a more suitable fit. When installing cables into masonry, timber or other surfaces, ensure the nail or fixing is appropriate for the substrate. Metal cable clips should be selected where the installation requires fire-resistant cable support.
Related Cable Management Products
For applications involving larger cable bundles or installations where individual clips are not practical, cable ties provide an alternative method of securing and organising wiring. Stainless steel cable ties are particularly useful in suitable industrial environments where additional strength, temperature resistance or corrosion resistance is required. Unlike individual cable clips, cable ties are primarily designed to bundle or secure cables to compatible supports and may require a dedicated tensioning tool for installation.

Frequently Asked Questions
Cable clips are used to secure electrical cables, wires and data cables to walls, ceilings, skirting boards and other suitable surfaces. They help keep wiring neatly organised, reduce loose cables and provide a secure fixing method for domestic, commercial and industrial installations.
Our range includes flat cable clips, round cable clips, bell wire clips and metal cable clips. Each style is designed for different cable shapes, sizes and installation requirements, from domestic electrical wiring to fire-resistant cable support.
Electrical cable clips are fixing components designed to hold electrical wiring securely against a surface. They are commonly used for Twin and Earth cables, lighting circuits, power cables and other electrical installations where neat cable routing is required.
Flat cable clips are designed for flat cable profiles such as Twin and Earth wiring, while round cable clips are used for circular cables including coaxial, data and certain power cables. Choosing the correct shape helps prevent unnecessary pressure on the cable insulation.
Metal cable clips are used to secure cables in installations where greater mechanical durability or fire-resistant support is required. They are commonly used in electrical installations, commercial buildings and escape routes.
BS 7671 Regulation 521.10.202 requires wiring systems to be supported so they are not liable to premature collapse in the event of a fire. Suitable metal cable clips can help meet this requirement when correctly selected and installed as part of an appropriate cable support system.
