Could you just use some of the heavy nylon pulltape that's 3/4" wide and
just put a couple of halfhitch knots around the cables for support and
tie it off to the hook? Then you can just position the support where
you need it once the cables are in.

Has anyone used the “Chinese finger trap” style support grips for
vertical runs of outdoor Cat5 cable in conduit?
I need to support 8 – 10 cables in a 150 ft straight run of 2 inch
conduit, there is a pull box with a support hook at the top of this
run, then another ~30 feet of conduit to a box at the top where the
individual cables would go through glands and out to the radios.
I did a test with a grip for 0.85 to 1.00 inch cable diameter, and a
cable bundle that measured maybe 0.75 to 0.85 inches, and it’s very,
very difficult to pass the bundle through the grip. I can’t see
sliding 50 feet of cable through it. Even just a foot or two was a
challenge. Yet I’m reluctant to just use a larger grip, for fear it
won’t grip properly.
Is there a trick to using these things?
