Description
Aircraft cable is wire rope that consists of 7 or 19 individual stainless steel wires that are laid in a spiral around a center or "king" wire to form a strand. The strands are then twisted together to form a cable. If a larger number of thinner wires are used to make a strand, for example 19 wires in a 7 x 19 cable, the finished cable is more flexible, stronger, and more expensive. Where corrosion resistance is very important stainless steel wire is the best choice.
