Extra-Flexible Wire Rope—Not for Lifting

6 x 19 Fiber Core

6 x 19 IWRC Core

7 x 19 IWRC Core

7 x 19 Strand Core

More wires per strand than other wire rope provides the flexibility required for repeat bending over drums and pulleys. It is often used for hanging, tethering, and constructing barriers. Individual wire strands are preformed to maintain their shape and prevent rope from unraveling when cut.

Galvanized rope is corrosion resistant.

Strand and IWRC core are more crush resistant than fiber core.
