Overview

Minerallac IPS50BFG insulated plastic cable staples provide a reliable, non-conductive solution for securing 2 and 3-wire NM cables up to #12 AWG, 2-wire UF cables up to #12 AWG, and other cables up to 1/2" wide. Manufactured in the USA, these staples feature a steel core with a molded plastic insulation to prevent cable damage and ensure electrical safety. The nail-in construction allows for quick and secure installation on wood studs or other suitable surfaces, making them ideal for residential, commercial, and light industrial wiring applications. Key features include compatibility with standard NM and UF cables, a compact 1/2" design for tight spaces, and a silver finish for easy identification. The staples are RoHS compliant and meet Buy America Act requirements, ensuring they align with federal procurement standards for domestic sourcing. Each box contains 500 staples, with master cartons available in larger quantities for bulk projects. The product is not UL listed but is designed for general-purpose cable securing where insulation integrity is critical. These staples are particularly well-suited for applications requiring secure cable management without compromising insulation performance. They are commonly used in electrical panels, junction boxes, and along wall studs to organize and protect wiring runs. The insulated design prevents metal-to-cable contact, reducing the risk of short circuits or insulation damage during installation or service. For projects requiring bulk quantities, the IPS50BFG is available in larger packaging options, including kegs, pails, and jars, to streamline procurement and storage.
