Description
Aircraft cable is wire rope consisting of 7 or 19 individual hot-dipped galvanized steel wires laid in a spiral around a center or "king" wire to form a strand. The strands are then twisted together to create a cable. By using a larger number of thinner wires, such as 19 in a 7 x 19 cable, to form a strand, the resulting cable is not only stronger and more expensive, but also remarkably flexible. This flexibility reassures the adaptability of the aircraft cable to a wide range of rigging and lifting tasks. The wire is galvanized, which provides excellent corrosion resistance. Use with wire rope accessories of the same size.
