This 5/8" galvanized aircraft cable wire rope is built with a 6x19 construction, providing a practical balance of strength and flexibility for demanding jobs. Made from improved plow steel (IPS), it delivers dependable performance with a minimum breaking strength of 31,860 lb. The independent wire rope core (IWRC) increases structural support and helps the cable maintain its shape under heavy loads. A galvanized coating offers protection against corrosion, making it suitable for outdoor, marine, and industrial environments. This wire rope is commonly used for rigging, lifting, winch lines, towing, suspension systems, and construction applications. Available in reel lengths ranging from 100 ft to 1000 ft, it accommodates a wide range of project requirements.

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.
