Value Collection WS-MH-WIRE-105 Aircraft Cable 1/16 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION WS-MH-WIRE-105 is a 1/16-inch diameter stainless steel aircraft cable rated for a 480-pound breaking strength. Built with a 7x7 strand core construction, this wire rope offers a balance of flexibility and tensile strength suited for light-duty rigging, safety lines, tensioning systems, and mechanical linkage applications. The stainless steel finish provides corrosion resistance in both indoor and outdoor environments. This cable is a standard choice for contractors, maintenance technicians, and trade professionals working with wire rope assemblies that require reliable, consistent performance in demanding conditions.

This aircraft cable is appropriate for residential and commercial applications where a small-diameter, high-strength flexible wire rope is required. Common uses include cable railing systems, guy wires, barrier lines, hanging systems, and mechanical control linkages. Its 7x7 strand core makes it more flexible than 7x19 alternatives of similar diameter, which suits installations requiring routed cable paths with moderate bends. Sold as a single unit, it is compatible with standard 1/16-inch cable fittings, ferrules, swage terminals, and turnbuckles appropriate for this cable diameter.

Key Features

• 480-pound breaking strength for reliable load capacity in light-duty rigging and tensioning applications
• 1/16-inch diameter fits standard small-bore cable hardware, ferrules, and swage fittings
• 7x7 strand core construction provides enhanced flexibility over solid or lower-strand-count wire rope
• Stainless steel finish resists corrosion in wet, coastal, and outdoor environments
• Compact and lightweight at 1.57 pounds per package, easy to transport and handle on the job

Compatibility

Designed for use with standard 1/16-inch cable hardware including ferrules, crimp sleeves, swage terminals, eye hooks, and turnbuckles rated for this cable diameter and breaking strength.

Installation Notes

Installation of aircraft cable should be performed by a qualified contractor or tradesperson familiar with wire rope rigging practices. Always de-tension or remove load from any existing cable assembly before replacing or splicing. Use only properly rated swage tools or crimp tools matched to the 1/16-inch cable diameter to ensure fitting integrity. Inspect terminals and ferrules for proper seating before returning the assembly to service.
