Value Collection WS-MH-WIRE-012 Aircraft Cable 3/8 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION WS-MH-WIRE-012 is a galvanized aircraft cable with a 3/8 inch bare diameter, constructed with a 6 x 37 IWRC (Independent Wire Rope Core) strand configuration. It delivers an 11,800 pound breaking strength, making it appropriate for demanding rigging, lifting, and tensioning applications. This cable is sold in 1-foot increments with a minimum order of 50 feet, drawn from a 1,000-foot coil. The galvanized finish provides corrosion resistance for both indoor and outdoor use. Riggers, millwrights, ironworkers, and general contractors commonly specify this type of cable for structural and mechanical load-bearing tasks.

This cable is suited for commercial and industrial applications including overhead lifting, wire rope assemblies, guy wire installations, and general rigging. The 6 x 37 IWRC construction offers greater flexibility compared to lower-strand-count configurations, making it well suited for use over sheaves, drums, and pulleys where the cable must bend repeatedly under load. The uncoated head finish keeps the wire compatible with standard swage fittings, thimbles, and clamps used in typical field terminations.

Key Features

• 11,800 pound breaking strength for heavy-duty rigging and lifting applications
• 6 x 37 IWRC strand construction provides enhanced flexibility and fatigue resistance
• Galvanized finish for corrosion protection in outdoor and high-moisture environments
• 3/8 inch bare diameter compatible with standard wire rope hardware and fittings
• Sold in 1-foot increments, minimum order 50 feet, from a 1,000-foot coil
• Uncoated head finish maintains compatibility with swage sleeves, clamps, and thimbles

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 3/8 inch galvanized aircraft cable for use with compatible wire rope fittings, clamps, thimbles, and swage terminals rated for 3/8 inch 6 x 37 IWRC construction.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified rigger or tradesperson familiar with wire rope assemblies and applicable ASME B30 or OSHA rigging standards. Relieve all load and de-energize any associated mechanical systems before cutting or terminating the cable. Use proper wire rope cutters to avoid fraying strand ends, and always apply end terminations rated for the cable diameter and breaking strength. Inspect the cable for kinks, bird-caging, or broken wires before placing it into service.
