1. A cable hanger, comprising:
a generally flat base with an opening;
first and second arms extending in a first direction from opposite edges of the base;
first and second locking members extending in the first direction from, respectively, ends of the first and second arms, each of the locking members comprising a respective hook;
first and second gripping members, each of the first and second gripping members extending from the base or one of the arms and forming a pocket configured to receive and grasp a cable;
a support member extending from the base or one of the arms, the support member sized and positioned to engage the first gripping member when the first gripping member deflects to grasp the cable; and
a flexible tying section extending between the support member and the first gripping members, the tying section configured such that, when the cable hanger is not grasping the cable, the tying section has slack therein, but that sufficient deflection of the first gripping while grasping the cable can cause the tying section to become taut, thereby providing additional support to the first gripping members;
