This 5/16″ type 316 stainless steel 7×19 aircraft cable is engineered for maximum corrosion resistance and long-term durability in demanding environments. Commonly used for marine rigging, cable railing systems, pulleys, winches, and general-purpose applications, the 7×19 construction delivers excellent flexibility and fatigue resistance for applications involving repeated movement and bending.
Note: Despite the name, aircraft cable is not intended for aircraft use. Before using this cable for critical overhead lifting applications, consult a qualified rigging professional.
Manufactured from type 316 stainless steel, this aircraft cable offers the highest level of corrosion resistance available in standard stainless cable. The addition of molybdenum enhances protection against rust, saltwater exposure, and harsh environmental conditions, making it an ideal choice for marine, coastal, and outdoor installations. While type 316 is slightly less strong than type 304 stainless steel, it remains the preferred option when corrosion resistance is the primary concern.
Aircraft cable is generally available in diameters up to 3/8″, while traditional wire rope is commonly produced in diameters exceeding 2″. Aircraft cable is designed with smaller individual wires and a higher strand count, resulting in greater flexibility and improved fatigue resistance.
This aircraft cable features a 7×19 construction. These numbers refer to the cable’s design, consisting of seven total strands, including the core strand, with approximately 15-26 wires per strand. Six outer strands are wrapped around a central strand to create a highly flexible cable capable of handling repeated bending and movement.
Will my 316 stainless steel wire rope arrive as one continuous length?
Yes. The quantity you order will be supplied as one continuous, uncut length of wire rope. For example, if you order a quantity of 1,000, you will receive a single 1,000-foot length.
Can I order multiple separate lengths?
Yes. To receive multiple lengths, add each length to your cart as a separate line item. For example, if you need two 1,500-foot lengths, enter a quantity of 1,500 and add it to your cart twice. Each line item will be cut and supplied as a separate length.
Can I order lengths shorter than the minimum order quantity if the combined total exceeds the minimum?
Yes. If your combined order will exceed the minimum quantity requirement but you need shorter individual lengths, please call our team to place your order. One of our product experts will be happy to assist.
Complete your aircraft cable assembly with compatible wire rope fittings and rigging hardware. We carry a variety of type 316 stainless steel accessories, including wire rope clips, turnbuckles, and eye bolts, to help you create a secure and dependable cable system. For optimal corrosion resistance and long-term performance, we recommend using type 316 stainless steel components throughout your assembly, as mixing different materials or finishes can increase the risk of galvanic corrosion.
