Galvanized cable has been an industry staple for decades, and for good reason. Through smart engineering, it’s one of the most versatile and reliable building materials. What gives cable its strength? It’s all in the design:
- Wires: The individual wires are the building blocks, but it’s how they are used together that gives cable its strength. The wires are wound such that they can distribute incredible amounts of weight and bear the burden of individual broken wires.
- Strands: It’s that configuration that creates the stronger strands, made by wrapping wires helically around the cable’s core. This gives the cable greater strength and durability.
- Core: The strands are wrapped around a sturdy core to give the cable its firmness. Typically, a cable will have a core made from one of the following:
- Fiber Core (FC): Usually polypropylene, sometimes hemp and sisal
- Independent Wire Rope Core (IWRC)
- Wire Strand Core (WSC): Both this core and IWRC are sometimes referred to as steel wire core or steel center

A wire rope sleeve is used to terminate a cable, or join two cables together. When properly applied to 7×7, 7×19 or 6×19 IWRC classification wire rope, the aluminum sleeve eye-splice termination provides a secured connection equal to the breaking strength of the wire rope. This process is also called swaging.

Quick ViewRize RWC2 X 15 Ft Single Loop Cable Kit, w/ KL75 KWIK-LOC
The Rize Looped Cable enhances the Kwik-Loc suspension system by the addition of a pre-looped cable end. Once the wire rope is pulled around the anchor point and through the looped end of the cable, it is already secured at one end, saving time at the job site. The remaining wire rope “drop” is passed through a channel in the Rize Kwik-Loc. Then, the wire rope is either wrapped around the equipment or inserted through a fastening point and back up into the second channel of the same cable lock. The locking teeth inside the cable lock engage the wire rope which secures the equipment in place.
