It's when you hit the house with an aerial, then you have to run down the wall to the NID.  Would you use U-channel in that case?  Do you still need hangers for the U-channel or does it have a mounting flange built in?

I understand why the drop cable has to be so ridgid, but I am annoyed sometimes that you can't turn a sharp corner with a drop cable.  You almost have to have the NID directly under the attachment point on the house, or be ok with making a huge turn or a loop where you change directions.

Those metal clips work well but I don't like running flat fiber drop along a wall.  Sure doesn't like to bend and lay flat so you're limited to going up the wall or I suppose across it. We tend to cover with conduit or U-channel where it has to be attached to a wall.

    That would be too big for standard flat drop cable.

        What are the dimensions of your flat drop cable? They make
        flexclips for dual RG6, would that be too big?

        I wouldn't mind having a plastic version of the same clip.  I
        like flexclips, I just don't see a version for flat drop.

                That is for flat drop.  Why would you use it for
                ethernet?  There are a million similar clips for
                ethernet that work fine.
