I'm wiring a walkout basement which has ~4' high block wall with 2x6
stud wall on top of that. There is a 2x4 stud wall (4' high) in front of
the block with a 1" space between the block and stud wall. I'd like to
run the wiring in that 1" space between the walls rather than through
the studs. I need some THINGY to support the wires. I didn't find
anything at the local bigbox. Nor he

The closest thing I see on that page is the MultiCable Staple. Something
like that would work if it were designed to be mounted on the side of
the stud and extend into the 1" space.

Any ideas on what you would call such a THINGY and were I might find it?


In the time spent looking for an alternative you could have had a bunch of
holes drilled. You can drill towards the rear of the stud to avoid the risk
of piercing the cable with a nail.

If you have your heart set on running the wire in the back you can make your
own cable supports. Get some 1" x 3" or 1" x 4" or strips of plywood. Cut
pieces long enough to go from the front of the stud to the block wall. Make
a small notch on top in the part that is between the back of the stud and
the block wall. Mount these to the studs every 3 to 4 feet. Lay your
cable on top in the notch.

That was my thought except that I don't see any need for the notch. He
only has a 1" space so the cable will take up a good part of that and
it won't matter if it does shift a bit.
