1. A cable hanger for attachment to a mounting surface, the cable hanger comprising:
a base surface having a proximate end and a distal end;
a first sidewall extending substantially perpendicularly from a proximate end of the base surface, where a first J-hook extends from a distal end of the first sidewall;
a second sidewall extending substantially perpendicularly from a distal end of the base surface; and
a resilient attachment surface extending from a distal end of the second sidewall, where the attachment surface includes a resilient tongue segment extending from a sidewall surface of an opening in the attachment surface and extending substantially parallel with the resilient attachment surface and the base surface, where the resilient tongue segment includes a plurality of offset surfaces and where a second J-hook extends from a distal end of the resilient attachment surface and when the first and second J-hooks are engaged the base surface, the first and second sidewalls and the attachment surface form a closed cable carrying area configured and arranged for cables to rest on the base surface surrounded by the base surface, the first and second sidewalls and the attachment surface;
where the cable hanger is attached to the mounting surface by sliding the cable hanger such that the resilient attachment surface is below and contacting the mounting surface and the resilient tongue segment above and contacting the mounting surface.
