    7 × 7 Strand Core

    The most common wire rope for hanging fixtures, tethering equipment, and constructing barriers. It balances flexibility and abrasion resistance —you can bend it if needed, but it has fewer wires that could break over time, so it lasts longer.
    Warning: Not for overhead lifting.
    18-8 Stainless Steel—With solid stainless steel construction, this wire rope has no plating that could wear away. It resists rust, but it won't hold up to the harsh chemicals that 316 stainless steel can.
    Wire Rope Construction—Strand cores are more crush and impact-resistant than hollow cores. However, you can run electrical wiring or fluid conduit through hollow core ropes.
    Preformed—With each wire shaped into a spiral before being twisted onto the rope, they maintain their shape when cut. This keeps them from unraveling or poking equipment and users.

    1 × 19 Strand Core

    Support utility poles, scaffolding, and masts with our most rigid wire rope. Formed with fewer and thicker wires than other rope, it won't bend easily, keeping fixtures upright and stable under tension.
    Warning: Not for overhead lifting.
    Galvanized Steel—The outer layer resists moisture but can wear down when exposed to salt water and chemicals.
