Replaces / Cross-Reference Part Numbers

  • Standard 1/16" aircraft-grade wire rope specifications.
  • Compatible with universal 1/16" cable hardware and swaging components.

Compatibility & Fitment

  • Designed for use with standard 1/16" diameter wire rope fittings.
  • Compatible with deck railing systems, garden structural support, and lighting hardware that accepts 1/16" cable.
  • Use with dedicated crimping tools sized for 1/16" aluminum sleeves.

When to Replace

  • Replace if signs of fraying, bird-caging, or broken individual strands are visible.
  • Inspect for surface rust, discoloration, or pitting, especially in high-moisture or coastal environments.
  • Replace if the cable has been subjected to loads exceeding the 368 lbs breaking strength.
  • Check for deformation or compression damage at connection points.

Installation Tips

  • Use a proper cable cutter to ensure a clean, non-frayed end for inserting into sleeves.
  • Insert the cable around the thimble to prevent sharp bends and abrasion at connection points.
  • Apply a high-quality crimping tool to compress the aluminum sleeves fully; ensure the tool matches the sleeve size.
  • Verify that the wire end extends slightly beyond the sleeve after crimping to ensure a secure hold.
  • Maintain consistent tension across all lines if using for railing or trellis applications.

FAQ

This 7x7 strand core wire has a breaking strength of approximately 480 lbs. It is ideal for light-duty applications such as string lights, garden trellises, and decorative deck railings. It should not be used for overhead lifting or applications where the safety of people depends on the load-bearing capacity.
To properly secure the aluminum sleeves, you will need a swaging tool or a heavy-duty crimping tool designed for wire rope ferrules. Using standard pliers is not recommended, as they will not provide the necessary pressure to create a secure, permanent connection.
The 7x7 construction consists of 7 bundles of 7 wires each. This configuration provides a balance between flexibility and strength, making it easier to route through eye bolts or around posts while maintaining the structural integrity required for tensioning in railing or trellis systems.
Thimbles are essential for protecting the wire rope from kinking or fraying at the loop connection point. By placing the thimble inside the loop before crimping the sleeve, you prevent the wire from bending too sharply against hardware like eye bolts or turnbuckles, which significantly extends the life of the installation.
Yes, this kit is suitable for deck railings, provided the installation adheres to local building codes regarding tension and spacing. Because this wire is exposed to the elements, we recommend inspecting the connections periodically for signs of oxidation or loosening, especially in coastal or high-humidity environments.
