Value Collection WS-MH-WIRE-142 Aircraft Cable 1/16 Inch

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION WS-MH-WIRE-142 is a vinyl-coated stainless steel aircraft cable rated for a 270 pound breaking strength. It features a 7 x 7 strand core construction, giving it flexibility and resistance to fatigue under repeated bending loads. The bare wire diameter is 3/64 inches and the overall diameter including the vinyl coating is 1/16 inch. This cable is suited for rigging, safety lines, tension applications, and light mechanical control runs where both corrosion resistance and a smooth outer surface are required. Installation is typically handled by maintenance technicians, riggers, or contractors working in industrial, marine, or commercial facility environments.

This aircraft cable is appropriate for indoor and outdoor applications where a flexible, corrosion-resistant strand cable is needed. The stainless steel core provides durability in humid or wet environments, while the vinyl coating protects against abrasion and reduces wear on adjacent surfaces. Common uses include tension wire runs, hanging systems, guard cable assemblies, and similar light-duty rigging tasks. The small diameter profile allows routing through tight spaces and around small-radius bends without compromising strand integrity.

Key Features

• 270 pound breaking strength for light to medium tension applications
• 7 x 7 strand core construction provides flexibility and fatigue resistance
• Stainless steel finish for corrosion resistance in wet or humid environments
• Vinyl coating protects surrounding surfaces and resists abrasion
• Bare diameter of 3/64 inches with 1/16 inch overall coated diameter

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose vinyl-coated aircraft cable suitable for rigging, tensioning, and light mechanical control applications requiring a 1/16 inch diameter stainless steel strand cable.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by riggers, maintenance technicians, or contractors familiar with wire rope and cable hardware. Use proper cable ferrules, swage fittings, or clamps rated for the cable diameter and load requirements — do not substitute undersized hardware. Inspect the cable for kinks or broken strands before installation, as these defects reduce rated breaking strength. Follow applicable facility or project specifications for termination methods and safety factors.
