Abstract
A cable support has a body formed from a strap of self-supporting material, with a hook portion having a free end and an opposite attachment end. A stem is formed by the attachment end and includes an end segment movable relative to a main segment between a first, linearly-aligned position, and a second, normally-oriented position for facilitating selective mounting of the support on vertical and horizontal substrates.
