Our Black Powder Coated Galvanized Aircraft Wire Rope pairs a strong galvanized steel core with a sleek matte-black powder coating that resists weathering, UV, and abrasion while delivering a clean, modern look. Offered in rigid 7x7 and flexible 7x19 constructions and diameters from 1/16" to 1/4", it’s a favorite for architectural cable railing and design-forward projects where appearance matters as much as strength.

Store cable in a clean, dry area away from moisture and chemicals; keep coils and reels supported to prevent kinking. Breaking-strength figures are nominal minimum values for new, unspliced cable and are provided for reference only — always apply an appropriate design safety factor (commonly 5:1, or higher for overhead/life-safety use). The breaking strength reflects the galvanized steel core; the powder coating does not add rated strength. Commercial-grade aircraft cable is intended for general-purpose use and is not certified for aircraft flight controls.
