Apex Tools Group Llc 7000497 Vinyl Coated Galvanized Cable 250 Ft

Product Description

The APEX TOOLS GROUP LLC 7000497 is a clear vinyl coated galvanized steel cable designed for general rigging, securing, and utility applications. The cable measures 1/8 inch bare diameter, coated to a 3/16 inch outer diameter, and runs 250 feet per spool. It is constructed with a 7x7 strand configuration, meaning 7 strands of 7 wires each, which delivers flexibility alongside tensile strength. The 340 LB working load limit makes it suitable for light-to-medium duty tie-down, safety, and support tasks. The clear vinyl jacket protects the galvanized core from moisture and abrasion while keeping the wire surface smooth for handling. Trades and maintenance professionals working in corrosive or outdoor environments commonly specify this type of coated cable for its combination of corrosion resistance and clean finish.

This cable is appropriate for residential and light commercial applications including safety restraints, equipment securing, overhead supports, and general cable runs. The galvanized core resists rust and oxidation in damp or outdoor conditions. The clear vinyl coating makes it a common choice where the cable will be visible or where a snag-free surface is needed. Electricians, maintenance technicians, riggers, and general contractors use this format of cable for a wide range of fastening and support tasks.

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose vinyl coated galvanized cable suitable for use with standard 1/8 inch to 3/16 inch cable fittings, ferrules, clamps, and tensioning hardware common to light rigging and utility cable applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified tradesperson familiar with cable rigging, load calculations, and applicable safety standards. Always verify that terminal fittings, clamps, and ferrules are rated for the cable diameter and working load before use. Do not exceed the stated working load limit, and apply an appropriate safety factor based on the application and governing codes. Cut cable with proper cable cutters to avoid fraying the strands and compromising the vinyl jacket at the termination point.
