Cable-laid rope consists of several constituent wire ropes that are helically laid or wound over a core into a single cable.
For example if you used 7 cables of 1/16" 7 x 7 and closed them into a wire rope you would have a 3/16" diameter 7 x 7 x 7 containing 343 individual wires.
The end product is a highly flexible, strong wire rope that can be spliced easily into slings or other assemblies.
When used for sling production, cable laid wire rope offers greater flexibility than slings made with 6 x 19 class wire rope, however cable laid slings have a lower nominal breaking strength.
Cable ordered is sold per foot, for example if you add (Quantity x10) to cart you will receive a continuous 10' piece, unless if you specify to be cut in other increments in order comments.
