7 x 19 Construction
• Very Flexible
• Excellent Strength
• Fatigue Resistant
• Resists Crushing

Commonly used on small diameter pulleys, running rigging on sailboats, exercise equipment, winches and control cables. 7×19 is the best all around cable for most applications.

1 x 19 Construction
• Not Flexible
• Best for Cable Railings
• Stronger than 7 x 19 cable
• Good for Sailboat Rigging
• Suitable for guying applications
• Doesn’t kink

Commonly used on cable railings, stationary rigging on sailboats, guy wires and push pull control cables. 1×19 is best suited for stationary applications.

7 x 7 Construction
• Stiffer than 7×19, more flexible than 1×19
• Stainless 7×7 commonly used for cable railings, and marine applications
• Diameters less than 1/8″ exhibit great balance of flexibility and strength

Small diameter 7×7 cable is great for use on pulleys and general use when diameters are needed smaller than available in 7×19 construction. Coated Stainless 7×7 cable is commonly used in marine applications or cable railings, while the galvanized offerings are used in general industry and agriculture.

6 x 19 Construction
• Flexible in relation to diameter
• Excellent Strength
• Excellent Abrasion Resistance
• Resists Crushing

Each 6×19 wire rope strand begins with one large center wire that is covered by a layer of nine smaller wires and then an outside layer of nine larger wires. The 6×19 wire rope has larger outer wires than 7×19 which adds to an increased abrasion resistance but also decreases its fatigue resistance. This rope can stand up against abrasion or crushing on the drum.
