Value Collection WS-MH-WIRE-024 Aircraft Cable 1/8 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION WS-MH-WIRE-024 is a galvanized aircraft cable with a 1/8 inch diameter and a 7 x 7 strand core construction. It carries a rated breaking strength of 1,700 pounds, making it a reliable choice for rigging, mechanical, and structural suspension applications. The 7 x 7 configuration — seven strands of seven wires each — delivers a balance of flexibility and tensile strength suited to dynamic load environments. Electricians, contractors, riggers, and maintenance professionals install this type of cable where a lightweight but strong steel wire solution is required. The galvanized finish provides corrosion resistance for both indoor and outdoor use.

This aircraft cable is appropriate for a wide range of commercial and industrial applications including overhead lifts, cable railing systems, mechanical controls, safety restraints, and general rigging. The 1/8 inch diameter is one of the most common sizes used in light-duty to medium-duty tension applications. It suits both shop fabrication and field installation scenarios where a flexible, high-strength steel cable is needed in tight spaces or around pulleys and sheaves.

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 1/8 inch diameter 7 x 7 galvanized aircraft cable compatible with fittings, clamps, ferrules, and terminals sized for 1/8 inch wire rope.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by riggers, maintenance technicians, or contractors familiar with wire rope and cable hardware. Always verify that end fittings, swage sleeves, or cable clamps are rated for the cable diameter and the applied load before tensioning. Inspect the cable and all termination hardware for damage or corrosion prior to placing in service. Follow applicable ASME B30 or OSHA rigging guidelines when using this cable in load-bearing or overhead applications.
