Commercial grade galvanized aircraft cable for general purpose applications
Type 304 stainless steel aircraft cable for superior corrosion resistance
Discover US Netting's premium aircraft cables, engineered for maximum strength and reliability in demanding applications.
US Netting's aircraft cables deliver exceptional strength-to-weight ratios with superior flexibility. Available in galvanized or stainless steel, our cables resist corrosion and fatigue while maintaining consistent performance under extreme loads. From 1/8" to 3/8" diameters, each cable meets rigorous aviation and industrial standards.
Cost-effective and corrosion-resistant, our galvanized cables feature zinc coating for protection against rust. Perfect for outdoor applications, marine environments, and general rigging. Breaking strengths range from 480 lbs (1/8") to 4,200 lbs (3/8") depending on construction.
Premium 316 stainless steel construction offers maximum corrosion resistance and longevity. Ideal for marine rigging, architectural applications, and food processing equipment. Maintains strength in saltwater and chemical environments where galvanized cable would fail.
Clear or colored vinyl coating adds abrasion protection and visibility. Prevents metal-on-metal contact, reduces noise, and protects surfaces from scratching. Available in various colors for easy identification.
Tough nylon jacket provides superior cut and abrasion resistance. Ideal for applications requiring frequent movement or exposure to sharp edges. Maintains flexibility in extreme temperatures.
Choose from 1/8" to 3/8" based on your load requirements. Always apply a 5:1 safety factor.
Select galvanized for cost-effectiveness or stainless for maximum corrosion resistance.
7x7 for flexibility, 7x19 for ultimate flexibility, or 1x19 for minimal stretch.
Support heavy equipment, create safety barriers, and secure loads with confidence. Our cables handle dynamic loads in manufacturing and construction.
From sailboat rigging to dock equipment, stainless steel cables resist saltwater corrosion while maintaining strength.
Galvanized cables provide reliable operation for residential and commercial overhead doors with proper safety factors.
High-strength cables handle repetitive loading cycles in crane operations, vehicle recovery, and material handling.
| Diameter | Construction | Galvanized Breaking Strength | Stainless Breaking Strength | Working Load (5:1) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1/8" | 7x7 | 480 lbs | 480 lbs | 96 lbs |
| 3/16" | 7x7 | 1,200 lbs | 1,200 lbs | 240 lbs |
| 1/4" | 7x19 | 1,400 lbs | 1,400 lbs | 280 lbs |
| 5/16" | 7x19 | 2,100 lbs | 1,960 lbs | 420 lbs |
| 3/8" | 7x19 | 4,200 lbs | 3,700 lbs | 840 lbs |
Aircraft cable offers superior flexibility and fatigue resistance compared to standard wire rope. Its specialized construction allows tighter bend radii and smoother operation over pulleys, making it ideal for applications requiring frequent movement or direction changes.

Galvanized cable has a zinc coating for basic corrosion protection and costs less. Stainless steel offers superior corrosion resistance, especially in marine environments, but costs more.
Calculate your maximum load and multiply by 5 for the safety factor. Choose a cable with breaking strength exceeding this value. When in doubt, go larger.
Yes, but follow OSHA regulations and never exceed working load limits. Regular inspection is critical for lifting applications.
Lifespan varies by use and environment. Indoor galvanized cable can last decades, while outdoor marine applications may need replacement every 5-10 years. Regular inspection is key.
