Value Collection WS-MH-WIRE-144 Aircraft Cable 1/16 Inch

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION WS-MH-WIRE-144 is a vinyl-coated stainless steel aircraft cable sold in 1-foot increments from a 1,000-foot coil. The bare wire diameter is 3/64 inches and the overall coated outer diameter is 1/16 inches. Construction is a 7 x 7 strand core configuration, which provides a flexible yet strong cable suited for repeated bending and routing through tight paths. Breaking strength is rated at 480 pounds. The stainless steel base material offers corrosion resistance, while the vinyl coating adds a layer of abrasion and environmental protection. This cable is commonly installed by HVAC technicians, electricians, riggers, and general contractors in light-duty tension and support applications.

This aircraft cable is used in residential and light commercial settings where a flexible, corrosion-resistant tensile member is needed. Typical applications include HVAC equipment hanging and support, electrical conduit and wire management support, safety restraint lines, and general rigging work. The vinyl coating makes it suitable for installations where direct contact with metal surfaces or painted finishes must be protected. Sold in 1-foot increments with a minimum order quantity of 100 feet, it is well suited for contractors who need a precise cut length rather than a full spool.

Key Features

• 480-pound breaking strength supports light-duty rigging and suspension loads
• 7 x 7 strand core construction delivers high flexibility for routing around bends
• Stainless steel base wire resists corrosion in damp or outdoor-adjacent environments
• Vinyl coating protects contact surfaces and adds abrasion resistance
• Sold by the foot in 1-foot increments from a 1,000-foot coil, minimizing waste
• Bare diameter of 3/64 inches fits standard small-bore cable fittings and ferrules

Compatibility

Designed for use with standard 1/16-inch aircraft cable hardware including swage fittings, ferrules, wire rope clips, and turnbuckles rated for 1/16-inch cable. Verify fitting and termination hardware is rated for the 480-pound breaking strength of this cable before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by HVAC technicians, electricians, or riggers depending on the application. Always de-energize and lock out any equipment before routing cable near electrical components. Use the correct swage tool or crimp tool rated for 1/16-inch ferrules and sleeves to ensure termination integrity. Never exceed the rated breaking strength, and apply an appropriate safety factor per applicable codes and engineering guidelines for the specific load case.
