Staples for heavy duty staple gun.

I was wondering what staples does virgin media uses for their cables (well and staple gun)? Well I know how the staples look like, but I have no clue where to find them. Plus I have a staple gun, which can eat and shoot 10-12mm cable staples, but all the staples that deep were only 7.5mm wide, which is not enough for virgin media cables (as far as I know they are 8mm in diameter).

So if you could please spec me some nice staples for my gun or otherwise both staples and staple gun that would be nice.

I don't think it will crush such a trick cable, considering the fact that you can adjust the power which a gun uses to shoot the staple with.

Compression isn't an issue with say a telephone cable, but for coax or Ethernet it is. I guess they came up with the plastic clip idea to make installation easier, one soft bit of wood and you'd have to pull the clip back out.

Are you saying that if I will squeese my ethernet cable it will stop working as if it is a tube with water going through it?
