Indusco 7 x 7 galvanized steel cable for general utility, agricultural, and light industrial use. The 7 x 7 construction (seven outer strands of seven wires each, 49 wires total) is more flexible than 1 x 19 strand cable while still carrying useful working loads, so it bends around small-diameter pulleys and through guy clips without kinking. Hot-dip galvanized zinc coating protects against rust in outdoor and damp environments.

• Construction: 7 x 7 (7 strands of 7 wires, 49 wires total)
• Diameter: 3/16"
• Length: 500 Ft on spool
• Working load limit: 740 lb (5:1 safety factor)
• Finish: hot-dip galvanized steel for corrosion resistance
• Use: agricultural, industrial, and general utility
• NOT for aircraft, overhead lifting of personnel, or critical life-safety service

Where to use: Tower and mast guy wires, heavier fence tension lines, light rigging, marine running rigging on small craft, and winch lines for loads up to about 150 lb (de-rated 5:1 from the 740 lb working load).

Working Load Limit: The WLL is set at roughly 1/5 of minimum breaking strength, giving a 5:1 safety factor. Never exceed the WLL, and de-rate further if the cable runs through sharp bends, narrow pulleys, or shock-load conditions. For overhead lifting of personnel or any critical life-safety service, use cable rated for that purpose - this is utility-grade aircraft-style cable, not certified aircraft cable.

Cutting Tip: To cut wire rope cleanly, wrap the cable tightly with electrical tape on each side of the cut line, then cut through the tape with bolt cutters or an abrasive cut-off wheel. The tape keeps the strands from unraveling. Seize the cut end with a wire-rope clip, swaged sleeve, or a thimble-and-clip termination - never knot wire rope.
