Value Collection WS-MH-WIRE-106 Aircraft Cable 1/16 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION WS-MH-WIRE-106 is a 1/16-inch diameter stainless steel aircraft cable rated at 480 pounds breaking strength. It features a 7 x 7 strand core construction, meaning each cable is made up of 7 groups of 7 individual wires twisted together for flexibility and tensile load distribution. The stainless steel finish provides corrosion resistance in wet, outdoor, or marine environments. This cable is used in rigging, mechanical control systems, safety restraints, tension applications, and general industrial or trade installations where a small-diameter, high-strength flexible wire rope is required.

This aircraft cable is suited for light rigging and tension applications across a range of trades and industries, including HVAC equipment securing, electrical conduit support, mechanical control linkages, and general contractor work. The 1/16-inch diameter makes it appropriate for low-profile installations where hardware clearance is limited. The 7 x 7 strand configuration provides greater flexibility compared to stiffer strand counts, making it easier to route through pulleys, ferrules, or swage fittings in tight runs.

Key Features

• 480-pound breaking strength for reliable load-rated tension applications
• 1/16-inch diameter suits compact hardware and close-clearance routing
• 7 x 7 strand core construction balances flexibility with tensile strength
• Stainless steel finish resists corrosion in outdoor and high-humidity environments
• Compact package dimensions of 5.91 x 3.54 x 3.54 inches for easy jobsite storage

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose 1/16-inch stainless steel aircraft cable suitable for use with standard swage fittings, ferrules, thimbles, and other hardware designed for 1/16-inch wire rope.

Installation Notes

Installation of aircraft cable typically involves crimping, swaging, or clamping end fittings using appropriate hand or hydraulic tooling rated for the cable diameter. Always verify that end fittings and anchor points are rated at or above the cable breaking strength before applying load. Do not exceed the rated breaking strength, and apply an appropriate safety factor based on the application. Follow applicable OSHA, ASME, or local building code requirements for rigging and tension system installations.
