Use where extreme flexibility is not required, but abrasion resistance is advantageous. 7 x 7 wire rope is commonly used in aircraft and automotive controls and as lifelines on boats. It performs well in a wide range of mechanical applications. Among the 3 common braids of marine wire, 7 x 7 has the smallest metallic cross-section and therefore has the lowest strength of the three. With larger wires than 7 x 19, but smaller than 1 x 19, it falls in the middle as far as flexibility.
• 316 stainless steel alloy provides increased corrosion resistance at the cost of some strength • Price is per foot; full spools are 500 ft (except 3/16" full spool is 250 ft) • Note: BL (nominal breaking strength) and weight (lb/100 ft.) are approximate.
