Patent ID: 8596590

Claim:
A nonmetallic cable support system, comprising: a nonmetallic stanchion comprising a web having a rectangular cross section and at least two nonmetallic parallel flanges perpendicular to the web and joined to the web and forming corners with the web to form a nonmetallic support stanchion, wherein the stanchion comprises at least one layer of fiber reinforcement perpendicular plus or minus 15 degrees to a length of the stanchion, wherein the flanges further comprise at least two orifices penetrating the flanges for mounting a nonmetallic cable rack arm and wherein the web further comprises at least one orifice penetrating the web for attaching the nonmetallic support stanchion to a formation selected from the group consisting of a wall, a column, a structure or a surface; and a cable rack arm for mounting on the non-metallic stanchion, the cable rack arm comprising: an upper portion formed between a proximal end and a distal end of the cable rack arm, the upper portion adapted for holding at least one cable; a lower portion opposite the upper portion, the lower portion formed at an acute angle to the upper portion; a web connecting the upper portion to the lower portion; and an interface near the proximal end, the interface comprising horizontal orifices and a vertical slot connected with the horizontal orifices, the vertical slot further comprising side reliefs adjoining a proximal end surface of the arm, the interface suitable for mounting the rack arm on a single flange stanchion, a TEE-bar stanchion, an L-angle stanchion, an E-channel stanchion and a C-channel stanchion, wherein an outer surface of the proximal end is formed at an angle to a top surface of the upper portion, the angle selected from the group consisting of an acute angle, a right angle and an obtuse angle.
