Returns Simplified.This vinyl-coated type 304 stainless 7×19 steel cable is generally referred to as aircraft cable and is a popular choice for deck railing systems, pulleys, winches, and more. The higher strand count and smaller wires provides flexibility and fatigue-resistance, extending the life of your cable and making it easy to work with.
The vinyl coating adds another layer of protection, keeping dirt, moisture, UV-rays, and other potentially-damaging products away from your wire rope. It’s extremely flexible, seals in lubrication, and is easier to handle than a standard aircraft cable.
Note: Despite the name, this cable is not intended for aircraft use. Before using for critical overhead lifting applications, consult with a rigging professional.
Aircraft cable sizes only go up to 3/8″, while traditional wire rope can go up to 2″ or greater in diameter.
This aircraft cable is made using type 304 stainless steel with a vinyl coating. This offers more corrosion-resistance than galvanized aircraft cable but less than type 316 aircraft cable (316 is considered marine-grade). It’s a great choice for most applications where rust-protection is needed because, while it isn’t quite as resistant as type 316, it is a stronger wire and it’s generally more cost-effective.

The class of this steel cable is 7×19. These numbers nominally refer to the cable’s construction and differ slightly from a standard wire rope construction – in the case of aircraft cable, this is the number of total strands (including the core, which is identical to the rest of the strands) and an estimation of the number of wires within each of these strands. So for a 7×19 class, the number of outer strands is 6 (wrapped around the 7th as the core), and the number of wires making up each strand ranges from 15-26.
Does this 7×19 wire rope come as one length? Yes, the quantity you add to the cart will be provided as one unbroken length of rope. So if you add this to the cart with a quantity of 1000, you will receive one 1000-foot long rope.
Can I order multiple separate lengths? Yes. For example, if you need two 550-foot lengths of rope, you would set the quantity to 550 and then add that to the cart twice. For each separate instance you add this to the cart, you will get a separate length of rope.
Can I order lengths less than the minimum order quantity if when combined they will be greater than the minimum order quantity? Yes – please call to speak to one of our product experts to place this order.
Complete your aircraft cable assembly – we also carry wire rope fittings and rigging hardware, including wire rope clips and wire rope thimbles. Make sure to get type 304 accessories – choosing a dfferent finish / material could result in an adverse reaction between the components.
Custom 7×19 wire rope configurations are also available – call or fill out our online form for a quote!
