The vinyl sits on top of that, so the 3\/32 in. cable measures 1\/8 in. over the coating and the 1\/8 in. cable measures 3\/16 in. That difference is what catches people out when they order fittings. Remove the vinyl coating where a sleeve, clip or thimble goes.

A 3\/32 in. cable measures 1\/8 in. across the vinyl and a 1\/8 in. cable measures 3\/16 in.

KingChain is explicit that the steel has to touch the sleeve, clip or thimble. A crimp made over vinyl grips vinyl, and vinyl creeps under load.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCoated or uncoated?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCoated where the cable rubs on something you care about or gets handled. Uncoated where it has to run over a pulley or take fittings along its length. The uncoated 7x19 cable is also sold here by the foot.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow is it cut?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFrom the reel with a cable cutter, which shears it cleanly. Ask for the length in feet and it is measured off and cut.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs 7x7 or 7x19 stronger?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThey are close at the same diameter. The real difference is flexibility: 7x19 has more and finer wires and bends more easily, so it is the one for running over a sheave. 7x7 holds its shape better on a static run.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\u003cp style=\"font-size:13px;color:#666;margin-top:1.2em;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eSpecifications and load ratings are provided for reference only; please verify with the manufacturer before use in load-bearing or safety-critical applications.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"KINGCHAIN","offers":[{"title":"3\/32\"","offer_id":55096451105087,"sku":"505122","price":0.24,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"1\/8\"","offer_id":55096451137855,"sku":"505202","price":0.27,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0685\/4901\/7919\/files\/2466470_usn.webp?v=1779730072","url":"https:\/\/griffbuildingsupplies.com\/products\/king-chain-7x7-vinyl-coated-aircraft-cable-sold-per-foot-505122","provider":"Griff Building Supplies","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
