Value Collection WS-MH-WIRE-021 Aircraft Cable 1/4 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION WS-MH-WIRE-021 is a 1/4 inch diameter galvanized aircraft cable rated to a 6,100 pound breaking strength. It features a 7 x 7 strand core construction, meaning seven strands of seven wires each are twisted together for a flexible yet high-tensile wire rope assembly. The galvanized finish provides corrosion resistance for use in demanding or outdoor environments. This cable is used in rigging, lifting, tensioning, and mechanical control applications across multiple trades and industries. It ships as a single unit and weighs approximately 10.58 pounds per package.

This aircraft cable is suited for applications requiring a flexible, high-strength wire rope in a compact 1/4 inch diameter. Typical uses include overhead rigging, safety restraint systems, garage door assemblies, cable railings, and general mechanical tensioning setups. The 7 x 7 strand configuration provides greater flexibility compared to 1 x 19 or 7 x 19 constructions, making it well-suited for applications involving pulleys, sheaves, or frequent directional changes. Both industrial maintenance professionals and trade contractors working in construction, rigging, or mechanical systems commonly install this type of cable.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by qualified riggers or trade professionals familiar with wire rope assembly and applicable load ratings. Always de-tension or de-energize the system before replacing or routing cable. Use appropriate swaging tools, cable clips, or ferrules rated for 1/4 inch wire rope when terminating ends. Follow applicable OSHA, ASME B30, or local rigging standards for load calculations and safety factors.
