This 1/2" galvanized aircraft cable wire rope features a 6x25 construction, offering increased flexibility while maintaining strong load-bearing capability. Made from extra improved plow steel (EIPS), it delivers dependable strength with a minimum breaking strength of 26,600 lb. The independent wire rope core (IWRC) provides added internal support, helping the rope resist crushing and maintain its structure under tension. Its galvanized coating helps protect against corrosion, making it suitable for outdoor, marine, and industrial environments. This wire rope is commonly used for rigging, winch lines, hoisting, cable railing systems, suspension applications, and general construction tasks. Available in reel lengths from 100 ft to 1000 ft, it allows for flexibility across a wide range of project sizes.

Recommended amperage ranges are general guidelines; optimal settings vary with base-metal thickness, joint design, shielding gas, and welding position. Store wire in a dry location to prevent oxidation and ensure smooth feeding.
⚠ WARNING: This product and the fumes and gases produced when welding it can expose you to chemicals including nickel and hexavalent chromium compounds, which are known to the State of California to cause cancer, and manganese, which is known to cause birth defects or other reproductive harm.
