Value Collection WS-MH-WIRE-078 Aircraft Cable 1/16 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION WS-MH-WIRE-078 is a galvanized aircraft cable with a nylon coating, designed for general rigging, tensioning, and suspension applications across a range of trades and industries. The cable measures 1/16 inch in overall diameter with a bare wire diameter of 3/64 inch and is constructed with a 7 x 7 strand core configuration, delivering a breaking strength of 270 pounds. The galvanized steel strands resist corrosion in moderately exposed environments, while the nylon coating adds a layer of abrasion protection and reduces contact wear on adjacent surfaces. This cable is handled and installed by electricians, HVAC technicians, riggers, and general contractors depending on the application.

This aircraft cable is suited for light-duty rigging, wire rope assemblies, hanging and suspension hardware, cable railing guides, HVAC equipment support, sign hanging, and similar tensioning tasks in residential, commercial, and light industrial settings. Its small diameter and flexible 7 x 7 strand core make it well-suited for applications requiring routing through tight spaces or around pulleys and fixtures. Sold individually, it is a practical replacement or addition for low-load cable assemblies.

Key Features

• 270 pound breaking strength suitable for light-duty suspension and rigging loads
• 7 x 7 strand core construction provides flexibility and resistance to kinking
• Galvanized steel finish for corrosion resistance in exposed or outdoor-adjacent environments
• Nylon coating protects adjacent surfaces and adds abrasion resistance
• 1/16 inch overall diameter with 3/64 inch bare wire diameter for compact routing

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose aircraft cable compatible with standard 1/16 inch cable hardware including ferrules, swage fittings, clamps, and tensioners rated for 7 x 7 strand wire rope of this diameter.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by qualified personnel familiar with wire rope and cable rigging practices. Use appropriately rated swage sleeves, clamps, or crimp ferrules sized for 1/16 inch cable. Do not exceed the rated breaking strength and apply a suitable safety factor for the specific load and application. Inspect the cable and terminations for kinking, fraying, or corrosion before placing in service.
