What to consider before buying

When selecting wire rope or cable, consider the working load limit (WLL), construction (e.g., 7x19 for flexibility, 6x19 for strength), material (galvanized for cost, stainless for corrosion resistance), and diameter. Always match the cable to your specific application and use proper fittings.
