Banding as fire clip?

Jimi

Do you think steel banding like this is adequate as a fire clip? Screwed and plugged to masonry or screwed to timber. 

 Cheers ;)

    What became of the old style T-shaped cable buckles.  Far easier to set up a tight and straight cable run using them than with modern cable clips.   Are they now prohibited?

    Not prohibited as such, and still (occasionally) available. I think they're usually made from aluminium rather than steel though, so will likely have a significantly lower melting point and so might not be suitable for avoiding premature collapse in the case of fire…
