Value Collection WS-MH-WIRE-097 Aircraft Cable 1/8 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION WS-MH-WIRE-097 is a 1/8-inch diameter stainless steel aircraft cable rated for 1,760 pounds of breaking strength. It uses a 7 x 19 strand core construction, which bundles 133 individual wires into a flexible yet high-tensile assembly. The stainless steel finish resists corrosion in wet, marine, and industrial environments. This type of cable is commonly installed by riggers, maintenance technicians, and mechanical contractors for tension, suspension, and load-control applications where both strength and flexibility are required.

This aircraft cable is suited for a wide range of commercial and industrial applications including railings, safety restraints, counterweight systems, theatrical rigging, garage door tension assemblies, and general mechanical linkage. The 7 x 19 strand configuration offers greater flexibility compared to 7 x 7 or 1 x 19 constructions, making it a practical choice for applications that involve bends, pulleys, or drum winding. It ships as a single unit and is available in individual quantities.

Key Features

• 1,760-pound rated breaking strength for high-load tension applications
• 7 x 19 strand core construction provides flexibility and fatigue resistance
• Stainless steel finish delivers corrosion resistance in harsh or outdoor environments
• 1/8-inch diameter fits standard swage fittings, thimbles, and cable clamps of corresponding size
• Single-unit packaging for individual replacement or small-quantity jobs

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose aircraft cable compatible with standard 1/8-inch cable hardware including swage sleeves, wire rope clips, thimbles, and turnbuckles rated for 1/8-inch diameter wire rope.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by qualified riggers or mechanical contractors following applicable ASME B30 or local safety codes for wire rope and rigging hardware. Always terminate cable ends with properly rated fittings — never use undersized clamps or sleeves. Inspect the cable for kinks, broken strands, or corrosion before tensioning. Relieve all load from an existing cable assembly before removal or replacement.
