A fire resistant cable fastener

A cable clip or fastener 1 comprises a body 2 formed from a fire-resistant material, such as metal. The body 2 includes a clamp element 4 having an opening 8 at its base 10 for receiving an electrical cable. A lower fixing plate 14 is arranged at the base 10 of the clamp section 4, and includes a fixing aperture 16 for receiving a fixing member such as a nail or screw for fixing the cable clip 1 to a support surface. An upper fixing plate 26 is spaced vertically from the lower fixing plate 14 relative to the height of the clamp section 4. The upper fixing plate 26 includes a fixing aperture 28 that is aligned with the fixing aperture 16 of the lower fixing plate 14. First 22 and second 32 substantially vertically arranged spaced support members are arranged to support the upper fixing plate 26 such that it is spaced apart from the lower fixing plate 14. The clamp element 4 can have an arched shape including a pair of limbs 5 spaced either side of the opening 8, connected by an upper bridging section 7.
