Value Collection WS-MH-WIRE-073 Aircraft Cable 3/16 Inch

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION WS-MH-WIRE-073 is a nylon-coated, galvanized aircraft cable sold in 1-foot increments from a 1,000-foot coil. The bare wire diameter measures 1/8 inch, and the overall coated diameter is 3/16 inch. It features a 7 x 19 strand core construction, delivering a rated breaking strength of 2,000 pounds. The galvanized steel strands provide corrosion resistance, while the nylon coating adds abrasion protection and reduces surface wear. This cable is intended for rigging, mechanical systems, tension assemblies, and similar load-bearing applications installed by electricians, mechanics, millwrights, and general trade professionals who require flexible, high-strength wire rope.

This aircraft cable is suited for light-to-medium rigging tasks in both residential and commercial settings. Common applications include control cable runs, guy wire tensioning, overhead rigging, safety restraints, and mechanical linkage systems. The 7 x 19 strand construction makes it more flexible than 1 x 19 or 7 x 7 configurations, which is an advantage in applications requiring frequent movement or routing around sheaves and pulleys. The minimum order quantity is 50 feet, sold in 1-foot increments.

Key Features

• 2,000 pound rated breaking strength for reliable load-bearing performance
• 7 x 19 strand core construction provides high flexibility for dynamic applications
• Galvanized steel finish resists corrosion in exposed or outdoor environments
• Nylon coating protects against abrasion and reduces wear on contact surfaces
• 1/8 inch bare diameter with 3/16 inch overall coated diameter
• Sold in 1-foot increments from a 1,000-foot coil to minimize waste

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose aircraft cable suitable for standard rigging hardware, swage fittings, cable clamps, and thimbles sized for 3/16 inch or 1/8 inch wire rope.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by qualified personnel familiar with wire rope rigging standards and applicable load requirements. Always verify that fittings, clamps, and termination hardware are rated for the cable diameter and intended load before tensioning. Use the appropriate cable cutter to avoid fraying the strand ends, and inspect the full cable length for kinks, broken strands, or corrosion before placing into service.
