These flexible cables are 316 marine grade stainless steel. They are suitable for running over sheaves or for forming thimble eyes. Ideal where high strength is required or when the cables are being used for display purposes. The cables over 3mm Ø are suitable for use with Sta Lok terminations [see page 2.20]. Unlike galvanised wire, stainless wire will show no telltale signs of wear such as rust streaks, but as no cables last for ever it is a wise precaution to enforce a schedule of replacement depending on the wires application.
