HYW 316 stainless steel wire rope thimbles protect the eye of a wire rope or cable where it bends around a loop, shielding it from abrasion, crushing, and fatigue. Made from marine-grade 316 stainless steel that resists rust, salt spray, and chemical attack, each thimble cradles the rope to preserve strength and extend service life. Choose your wire rope size from the drop-down menu.
