Value Collection WS-MH-WIRE-023 Aircraft Cable 1/4 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION WS-MH-WIRE-023 is a galvanized aircraft cable rated at 6,100 pounds breaking strength and designed for demanding rigging, lifting, and tensioning applications across trade and industrial environments. Constructed with a 7x7 strand core configuration, this cable delivers a balance of flexibility and tensile strength well suited to dynamic load scenarios. The cable measures 0.25 inches in diameter and is sold in 1-foot increments from a 1,000-foot coil, with a minimum order quantity of 100 feet. Licensed tradespeople in mechanical, construction, and industrial maintenance fields are the primary installers of this type of wire rope assembly.

This aircraft cable is appropriate for use in residential and commercial applications requiring a flexible, corrosion-resistant wire rope solution. Common uses include control cable runs, overhead rigging, safety restraints, and general mechanical tensioning. The galvanized finish provides resistance to oxidation, making it suitable for installations in exposed or semi-exposed environments. The 7x7 strand core offers greater flexibility than 7x19 alternatives at comparable diameters, making it a practical choice for applications with routing constraints or frequent cable movement.

Key Features

• 6,100 lb breaking strength for high-load rigging and tensioning applications
• 7x7 strand core construction balances flexibility with tensile performance
• Galvanized finish resists corrosion in exposed environments
• 0.25 inch diameter fits standard aircraft cable fittings and swage terminals
• Sold by the foot in 1-foot increments from a 1,000-foot coil

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose galvanized aircraft cable replacement or new-install solution compatible with standard 0.25 inch wire rope fittings, swage terminals, and cable clamps used in commercial and industrial rigging applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by qualified riggers or licensed tradespeople familiar with wire rope assembly practices and applicable OSHA rigging regulations. Inspect fittings, thimbles, and swage terminals before installation and ensure all terminations are rated at or above the cable breaking strength. Never exceed the working load limit, which is a fraction of the published breaking strength — consult applicable load tables for the correct safety factor for your application. Wear cut-resistant gloves when handling and cutting wire rope to prevent injury from broken strands.
