Zip Wire Essential Cable Details:

• • 12mm diameter.
  • 7×19 – strand configuration unlike the trolley cable this does not have to be smooth so uses the cheaper hexagonal shaped profile.
  • Solid Core – the hidden core of cable is steel not fibre as found in cheap cable which will give to much stretch and the correct tension will not be achieved).
  • Galvanized – outdoor weather protection using a zinc coating to of the steel in order to prevent rusting.
  • Hard Eye – used to aid fixing allowing fitting into the jaw of a turnbuckle.
  • Machined Ferrule Clamp – gives the ultimate strength to cable assembly – better than manual clamps.
  • Certification Stamp – Test certificate number stamped on Ferrule stamp for reassurance of quality.
  • Heat-shrink – covers lose strands at dead end to meet safety standards.
