Used when flexibility and fatigue resistance are important.
Because of its fine wires, the best uses for 7 x 19 wire rope are applications where abrasion is not too severe and tight bending is required.
Aircraft controls, running rigging on sailboats, exercise equipment, winches and garage doors are all common applications.
Having the thinnest strands, and being in the middle as far as metallic cross-section, 7 x 19 is in the middle as far as strength, but is the most flexible among the 3 common marine wire rope braids: 1 x 19, 7 x 7, and 7 x 19.
