W.W. Cross Industries

Overview

W.W. Cross Industries (sold under the Viking and Cross names) is a U.S. manufacturer of staples, clips and conduit straps used in electrical and communications installations. Their product range focuses on cable protection and retention products engineered for professional installers.

Core product families and technologies

• Insulated cable staples: IN3000-family and related insulated styles protect cable insulation and reduce arc-fault risk.
• Nob-style cable staples: Heavy-wire staples for NM cable runs sold in retail packs and contractor pails.
• Super Staples / specialty styles: Larger crowns and flat legs for multi-line and structured-wiring applications.
• Clips and conduit straps (PS-series): Plastic and metal straps and clips for routing and fastening conduit and cable.

Common applications

These products are specified for residential and commercial NM cable routing, branch-circuit stapling, communications and data cabling, fiber and coax runs, and conduit fastening. Insulated staples are commonly selected to avoid nicking insulation and to lower arc‑fault risk in finished installations.
