Abstract: A flanged, J-shaped bracket formed of sheet metal is provided in combination with a T-slotted downcomer (vertical channel), and creates an extremely strong support for heavy electrical cable. There is provided at the upper end of the bracket a connector element shaped generally as a hollow elbow having two portions. One such portion, the lower, is a very strong protuberance formed by making a deep recess in the web of the bracket. The underside of the protuberance seats on the bottom edge defining the T-slot, and bears large shear loads. The other such connector portion, the upper, is a tab inserted behind the upper edge defining the T-slot, and bears compression loads resulting from torque. The upper region of the protuberance fits relatively closely below the above-mentioned upper edge, thus causing the connector element to be immune to upward vibratory and other forces. The bottom surface of the protuberance is a rounded cam which greatly facilitates mounting of the bracket to the downcomer.
