Heavy Duty Staple for UTP cable
-
It is more about the staple then the gun... they make staples for cable that have a bend in them so it doesn't pinch the cable.

You really want to use something like this

That is a better way... what I also do is use velcro screwed to the wall to hold cables.

do you have an amazon link for curve staple? this seems much easier than carrying a hammer and nail clips.
-
I don't ... i haven't purchased them in a long time.

No, you do not want a T50. The T50 is generally only a flat headed staple.
You typically use a T25 for this. But you said Heavy duty? That might be too big for a T25. So in that case, I am not certain.
-
Here is a T25 and a T50.
-
The T25 is 7/16" | 11mm
-
If the T25 is too small I would look at using coax nail in staples like this.
-
Or step all the way to NM staples.

Gee someone might used to do cable installation.

Only 8 years as a professional installer.
I may have specialized in building access control systems (all computerized) but I still had to do other stuff.

NM staples are the way to go. They last forever and are really easy to install.
