It depends on the u-channel.  The plastic stuff that is basically like a split conduit turned inside-out has a built in mounting flange.  I like the steel u-channel, but it requires separate metal mounts, and it is pricier.

    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.
