Used as standing rigging on virtually all sailboats. 1 x 19 wire is also well suited for guying and push-pull applications where very little bending is required. It has become very popular in architectural applications such as railings on stairs, decks, and balconies.
1 x 19 wire rope has more metallic cross-sectional area and thicker wires than either 7 x 7 or 7 x 19 constructions, which makes it the strongest, but also the least flexible, of these 3 common braids.
