Stainless Steel Wire Rope Metal Cable Rigging 7x7 Pvc Plastic Coated 2,3,4,5,6mm

For light garden trellis or clothesline use, 1.5mm–2mm is typically sufficient. For balustrade infill cables or moderate tensioning applications, 3mm–4mm is common. For heavier rigging, load-securing, or fencing under significant tension, 5mm–6mm provides greater working load capacity. Always verify the required working load limit against the cable's rated breaking strength before installation.

A 7x7 construction consists of 7 strands, each containing 7 individual wires, giving 49 wires in total. This configuration is more flexible than a 1x19 (19-wire single strand) rope, making it better suited to applications involving bending, pulleys, or routing around corners. A 1x19 construction is stiffer and typically used for straight, rigid runs such as standing rigging.

Yes. The stainless steel core provides corrosion resistance in outdoor and coastal environments. The PVC jacket adds a further barrier against moisture, UV exposure, and salt air. For fully submerged or continuous saltwater immersion applications, confirm the stainless steel grade is appropriate for your specific environment.

The rope is supplied in the lengths listed in the variant options (1m to 100m). You can cut it to a shorter length using wire rope cutters or bolt cutters. After cutting, it is recommended to apply end ferrules or heat-shrink tubing to prevent the cut end from fraying.

Standard wire rope accessories including swage ferrules, crimp sleeves, wire rope clips (bulldog grips), and thimbles are compatible when matched to the cable diameter. For example, a 3mm cable requires 3mm-rated ferrules. Always use fittings rated for the same diameter as the cable selected.

The PVC jacket is a protective outer coating and does not contribute to the tensile strength of the rope. The breaking load is determined by the stainless steel core construction. When specifying load capacity, refer to the rated breaking strength of the steel core at the selected diameter, and apply an appropriate safety factor for your application.

Yes. The six available colours (Red, Yellow, Black, Purple, Green, Light Green) are well suited to colour-coding cable runs by zone, circuit, or load type in installations where multiple cables are routed in proximity. The colour is in the PVC jacket and is consistent along the full length of the cable.
