Value Collection WS-MH-WIRE-001 Aircraft Cable 1/16 Inch

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION WS-MH-WIRE-001 is a 1/16-inch diameter galvanized aircraft cable constructed in a 1 x 19 single strand configuration. This small-diameter wire rope delivers a 500-pound breaking strength, making it suitable for light rigging, tension applications, and mechanical control runs. The galvanized finish provides corrosion resistance in both indoor and outdoor environments. Riggers, maintenance technicians, and general contractors typically specify this cable for applications where a high strength-to-diameter ratio is required in a compact, low-stretch strand. The 1 x 19 construction uses 19 individual wires wound into a single strand, producing a stiff, low-flex cable well suited for static or semi-static tension loads.

This aircraft cable is used across a broad range of trade and industrial applications including wire rope assemblies, cable railings, safety restraints, guy wires, and control linkages. The 1/16-inch diameter and galvanized finish make it a practical choice for outdoor installations where weather exposure is a factor. It is commonly used in light construction, marine environments, HVAC equipment tie-downs, and general facility maintenance. The single-strand 1 x 19 lay is not intended for applications requiring repeated bending or sheave routing, but performs reliably in fixed or low-flex tension runs.

Key Features

• 500-pound breaking strength in a compact 1/16-inch diameter profile
• 1 x 19 single strand construction provides low stretch and high rigidity
• Galvanized finish resists corrosion for outdoor and marine-adjacent use
• Lightweight at 0.85 pounds per packaged unit
• Suitable for static tension, guy wire, and control cable applications

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose 1/16-inch galvanized aircraft cable suitable for light rigging, cable railing systems, and mechanical control applications requiring 1 x 19 single strand wire rope.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by riggers, maintenance technicians, or general contractors using appropriate cable cutters, swage fittings, or clamp-style cable ends rated for 1/16-inch wire rope. Always verify that end fittings and anchor points are rated at or above the cable breaking strength before placing the assembly under load. The 1 x 19 construction has limited flexibility and should not be routed through small-radius sheaves or subjected to repeated bending cycles. Inspect terminations and the cable body for fraying, kinking, or corrosion before and after installation.
