Steve is exactly right. In my job (industrial electrician) we use
these devices (sometimes referred to as "baskets") constantly, and they
are indeed, the best way to vertically suspend cable. Properly sized
they shouldn't slip, but if you are concerned about it, some electrical
tape wound tightly around the bottom inch of the grip and an inch of
the cable will be more than enough to ensure that it doesn't.
