Value Collection WS-MH-WIRE-016 Aircraft Cable 1/16 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION WS-MH-WIRE-016 is a galvanized aircraft cable with a 1/16 inch diameter and a 7x7 strand core construction. It carries a rated breaking strength of 480 pounds, making it suitable for light-duty rigging, mechanical linkages, and control-line applications. The 7x7 configuration — seven strands of seven wires each — provides a balance of flexibility and tensile strength appropriate for runs that require bending around pulleys or through fairleads. The galvanized finish provides corrosion resistance for both indoor and outdoor installations. This cable is handled by electricians, HVAC technicians, riggers, and maintenance professionals working with suspended equipment, control systems, or structural tie-down applications.

This aircraft cable is used in a wide range of light commercial and industrial applications where a flexible, small-diameter steel wire rope is required. Common uses include HVAC equipment hanging and bracing, seismic restraint wire, mechanical control linkages, and general-purpose rigging where a 480-pound breaking strength rating meets the load requirement. The compact 1/16 inch diameter allows routing through tight spaces and small hardware fittings. It is packaged as a single unit quantity.

Key Features

• 480-pound rated breaking strength suitable for light rigging and control applications
• 7x7 strand core construction offers increased flexibility compared to rigid strand configurations
• Galvanized finish provides corrosion resistance for indoor and outdoor use
• 1/16 inch diameter fits standard small-bore cable fittings, ferrules, and thimbles
• Compact form factor suitable for routing through confined spaces and small hardware

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose galvanized aircraft cable for light-duty rigging, mechanical control, and equipment bracing applications where a 1/16 inch diameter, 7x7 strand wire rope is specified.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by qualified riggers, HVAC technicians, or maintenance professionals following applicable load and safety standards. Always verify that the working load limit of the cable assembly — accounting for hardware, terminations, and safety factor — does not exceed the rated breaking strength. Use appropriate swage sleeves, ferrules, or cable clamps sized for 1/16 inch cable; improper termination hardware is a leading cause of premature failure. Inspect the cable for kinking, fraying, or corrosion before placing it in service.
