Yes. Part of the runs from some RX antennas are done this way. In 
addition to suspending from a rope, Kellums grips are widely used by 
telecom and CATV drops. Look for the type with two parts that separate 
so that they can be clamped around the cable rather than needing to 
slide it over one end (and a connector). Also, study specs defining 
their mechanical strength -- I recently had one break on a feedline from 
a high dipole when the wind blew.
