7x7 & 7x19 Aircraft & Utility Cable

These ropes are standard for Tuf-Grip assemblies for smaller sizes such as control cable applications. Choose from two materials: stainless steel or galvanized carbon steel wire rope. Standard utility cable and fittings are suitable for most applications. We offer standard end fittings to let you use aircraft cable as small as 1/16 inch in diameter. If you need one even smaller than that, please call us.

See charts for minimum breaking force and weight per foot. Notice all ropes have a steel core – the only one recommended for Tuf-Grip assemblies. All Tuf-Grip assemblies use a pre-formed rope construction because of its ability to maintain its integrity when inserted into the fittings before swaging occurs.
