cable clip nail
Sinsun clips hold tight and stay put
Hammer it once and forget it
one source for every size
We start with the nail at Sinsun. We make our cable clip nails out of hardened carbon steel and heat-treat them to the right hardness so they can pass through concrete, brick, and wood without bending. The zinc-coated finish prevents your walls from getting rust stains, even in areas with moisture.
The plastic seat is also critical. We use high-density polyethylene (HDPE) that won't crack or break when installed.Temperatures ranging from -40 °C to +80 °C can be handled by this material, which contains no halogens.This means it will work well whether you're putting it in a freezer or a server room.
We designed our clips with one goal in mind: to make your installation faster and look better. The nail is already in place, so you don't have to waste time lining things up. It prevents insulation from being damaged or pinched by the clip. And the sizes are clearly marked, so you can select the right one the first time.

Primary Uses for Professional Cable Clip Nails
1. Installing electrical wiring
Cable clip nails are the most common way electricians to attach NM cable, Romex, or individual conductors to studs, joists, and walls. Sinsun clips come in sizes from 8mm to 14mm, which fit most electrical cables. Hardened steel nails drive securely into wood framing. The clips hold the cables in place securely and meet code requirements for support spacing. They also keep the wiring neat and tidy. If you have a truck with a variety of sizes, you're always ready for any cable you come across when finishing your basement or building another one.
2. Data and low-voltage wiring
Low-voltage installers require methods to fasten cables that won't crush or kink them, whether they're running Cat6, coaxial cable, or speaker wire. For this job, you need smaller Sinsun cable clip nails (4mm to 8mm). The smooth plastic cradle prevents the cable from bending, which keeps the signal from getting lost or damaged. The evenly spaced clips make the difference between a job that looks like it was done by a professional and one that screams "amateur hour." This is true for home theater installations, office networking, or security camera runs.

3.Provide conduit and raceway support
Fasteners are required when installing conduit or surface raceways, because they hold the weight and maintain the straightness and accuracy of the runs. Sinsun clips (16mm to 25mm) hold conduit tightly to walls and ceilings. For heavier runs, double-nail options provide extra grip power. You can put the clips up quickly with a hammer—no drilling, no anchors, and no waiting. For commercial electrical work, parking garage lighting, and industrial installations, this means less work.
4. Upkeep and remodeling of facilities
Maintenance teams for buildings are always adding, moving, or securing cables in buildings that are already there. Sinsun cable clip nails are ideal for this job because they go in quickly and don't need a lot of tools or time. Do you need to secure a loose network cable that runs along a baseboard? Get a hammer and a 6mm clip, and you'll be done in no time. Do you need to run the cable neatly along a concrete wall to add a new security camera? You don't have to drill holes first with our concrete nail clips. It is important for maintenance workers to have a variety of Sinsun clips in their tool bags so they can complete their tasks efficiently.
Cable Clip Nails: Installation Guide and Product Selection
How to Pick the Right Nail for a Cable Clip
How to Pick the Right Nail for a Cable Clip
There are three things to think about when picking the right cable clip nail: the cable's diameter, the surface you're fastening it to, and where it's going.
STEP 01
Take a measurement of your cable.
Use a calliper or just hold the cable up to a ruler. The clip size should fit the cable diameter snugly, but not so tightly that it crushes the insulation or so loosely that the cable moves around. For instance, standard RG6 coaxial cable is about 6–7mm thick, so you would use a round clip that is 7mm or 8mm thick. The Romex 14-2 electrical wire is about 10mm thick, so CE-10mm is the right size for you. If you're not sure, go a little bigger. You can always add a little caulk if the fit isn't perfect, but you can't fix a clip that's too small.
STEP 02
Identify your surface.
Wood studs, joists, or trim? Standard smooth shank nails work well.
Concrete, brick, or block? You need concrete steel nail clips with hardened nails.
Drywall or plaster? Brad nail clips or finishing nail clips minimize damage.
Tile or finished surfaces? Screw shank nails reduce the risk of cracking.
STEP 03
Consider the environment.
Indoors, in a climate-controlled area: Bright finishes or standard zinc-coated nails are sufficient.
Basements, garages, or outdoors: Use galvanized nails to prevent rust stains.
In coastal or industrial: Hot-dipped galvanized or stainless steel for maximum corrosion resistance.
In vibration-prone areas (near machinery, in vehicles): Ring shank nails for extra holding power.
STEP 04
Count how many you need.
A general rule is to support cables every 12-18 inches for horizontal runs, every 24-36 inches for vertical runs. If the cables are bundled or heavy, they should be spaced closer together. Add 10-15% for waste and mistakes.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Can I use these on concrete walls?
Yes, but only if you choose the right nail type. Sinsun concrete steel nail clips are made for masonry and have hardened nails that can go into concrete, brick, and block. You might want ring shank or screw shank nails for the most effective grip on thick concrete.
How big a clip do I need for RG6 coaxial cable?
The outside diameter of RG6 coaxial cable is about 6–7 mm. You should use a round clip 7mm or 8mm wide. For standard RG6, a CE-7mm or CE-8mm will hold it in place without breaking it.
Will nails rust and leave marks on my walls?
Not with Sinsun. Our nails are covered in zinc to prevent rusting. This stops rust streaks indoors. Please choose our hot-dipped galvanized options for outdoor or humid areas.
What is the most effective way to put cable clip nails?
Put the cable in the clip cradle, put the clip where you want it, and then apply a hammer to drive the nail in until the head is level with the clip surface. That's all. There is no drilling, no anchoring, and no special tools.
What is the difference between a single and a double nail clip?
Single nail clips have only one nail and work for most things. Double nail clips have two nails and are better at holding heavy cable bundles or in areas prone to vibration.
Can you use these clips again?
You can use the clips again if you carefully pull out the nail without breaking the plastic. But they're meant to be permanent fasteners, and most installers think of them as one-and-done.
Will the clips hurt my cable insulation?
No. Sinsun clips are smooth HDPE plastic that won't scratch or cut cable jackets. The cradle holds tightly without pinching.
What temperatures can these handle?
Our HDPE clips can withstand temperatures from -40°C to +80°C, and for short periods of time, they can handle temperatures up to 100°C. Suitable for attics, freezers, mechanical rooms, and other places.
The Sinsun Promise: Professional Results
I've learned that the small things matter from being around electricians and low-voltage installers for a long time. A clip that breaks. A bent nail. A size that doesn't quite fit. These small annoyances build up over time on a project, wasting time and testing patience.
Sinsun cable clip nails are made to solve those problems. Nail hardness stays the same. Plastic that won't break and lasts a long time. Clear sizes so you can choose the right one the first time. And a range that includes everything from 4mm thermostat wire to 40mm industrial conduit.
We have the clips you need for building your house, remodeling an office or keeping a factory running.
