Apex Tools Group Llc 7000227 Galvanized Cable 1/16 Inch 500 Ft

Product Description

The APEX TOOLS GROUP LLC 7000227 is a 7x7 galvanized steel cable rated for a 96-pound working load limit. It measures 1/16 inch in diameter and comes in a 500-foot length, making it a practical spool for applications that require repeated cuts to length. The 7x7 construction — seven strands of seven wires each — provides a balance of flexibility and tensile strength suited to light-duty rigging, tie-down, and support work. At 4.88 pounds per spool, it is easy to handle on the job. Licensed contractors, maintenance technicians, and trade professionals working with cable assemblies will find this a reliable, corrosion-resistant option for both indoor and outdoor installations.

This cable is well-suited to residential and light commercial applications where a small-diameter, flexible wire rope is needed. Common uses include cable railings, security tethers, equipment tie-downs, overhead support lines, and general-purpose lashing in environments exposed to moisture. The galvanized finish provides rust resistance, making it appropriate for outdoor settings and damp mechanical rooms. Its continuous 500-foot spool format reduces waste and allows field cutting to exact required lengths.

Installation Notes

Cable cutting and termination should be performed by qualified technicians familiar with wire rope hardware and proper swaging or clamping methods. Always verify that end fittings, ferrules, and clamps are rated for 1/16 inch 7x7 cable before assembly. Do not exceed the stated 96-pound working load limit; account for shock loading and dynamic forces when sizing for the application. Wear appropriate cut-resistant gloves when handling and cutting wire rope.
