Eaton’s New J-Hook Color ID Products Allow for Quick and Easy Content
Designation in Data Center and Light Commercial Cable Applications
HIGHLAND, Ill. … Power management company Eaton today announced that its B-Line
division is helping to simplify the content designation process with the introduction of its new
J-Hook Color ID products. Ideal for use in data centers and light-duty commercial cable
management applications, these simple solutions are designed to snap onto existing B-Line
J-Hook products, allowing installers and inspectors to verify that cables are running in their
correct, designated pathways.
“Until now, choosing a color-coded solution meant increasing a project’s completion time and
total budget,” said Kyle Spencer, product line manager, Eaton’s B-Line division. “By
developing a stocked solution that can be easily snapped into place, we’re not just reducing
cost, but also eliminating confusion and saving our end users time.”
Engineered to securely fit on all J-Hook solutions from Eaton’s B-Line business, Color ID
products feature a simple, tool-free installation, snapping over the U-shaped section on either
single or tiered J-Hooks. By including a Color ID product on each J-Hook, installers and
inspectors can quickly verify that the appropriate type of cable is included in each run. This is
especially important in commercial and data center applications, where multiple cable runs
are typically installed.
J-Hook Color ID products are available in blue, white, red, yellow, orange and gray options.
All are manufactured from Underwriters Laboratories (UL) listed material rated for plenum

are also compatible with tied-hook applications.
