Strands and Cables: Construction Capabilities

Construction Capabilities

In addition to typical strand and cable constructions we offer specialty constructions such as swaged, drawn strands and cables with tighter tolerances. We can work with you to create a specialty strand or cable that fits your unique application. The application may require both strength and flexibility in a low stretch cable.

Please note: that this chart only shows a small portion of the strands and cables produced by Fort Wayne Metals, for more information on how we can produce a strand or cable at the diameter you need, please contact us.
