1. A cable hanger for mounting a cable having an outer diameter to a support structure, comprising: a front shell half that mates with a rear shell half, the front shell half and the rear shell half having a front shell half inner surface and a rear shell half inner surface, that cooperate with each other to secure the outer diameter of the cable within a cable space; the mating of the front shell half and the rear shell half releasably secured by at least one closure flange(s) of the front shell half adapted to retain at least one closure fin(s) of the rear shell half; the front shell half and the rear shell half each having, along a vertical mating surface, at least one interlock flange(s) and at least one interlock fin(s); the interlock flange(s) and interlock fin(s) adapted to interlock with corresponding interlock flange(s) and interlock fin(s) of a second cable hanger positioned against the cable hanger along the vertical mating surface; a front shell half bolt hole through the front shell half and a rear shell half bolt hole through the rear shell half; the front shell half bolt hole aligning with the rear shell half bolt hole when the front shell half is mated to the rear shell half; a recessed nut surface of the front shell half is recessed below the vertical mating surface whereby a bolt extending through the front and rear shell half bolt holes may be secured with a nut against the recessed nut surface to retain the cable hanger to the support structure without having the bolt projecting above the vertical mating surface.
