Cable Construction & Use
This Dayton stainless-steel cable measures 1/4 in diameter and 100 ft length. The 1x19 strand construction provides a working load limit of 1640 lb and a breaking strength of 8200 lbf. It is supplied plain-ended and unlubricated for general lifting and pulling tasks.
Suitable Applications
The cable suits rigging, winching and overhead lifting where corrosion resistance matters. Grade 304 steel handles outdoor and marine exposure. Buyers who need a coated or lubricated line should look at a different product. Buyers who require a different strand count or diameter should choose another specification.
Critical Specification
The working load limit of 1640 lb is the single figure that determines whether this cable matches your load requirements. Exceeding this limit risks failure. Verify the rating against your application before purchase.

Questions about this item
How do I properly install the 1/4 in 1x19 stainless steel cable and what is the common mistake to avoid?
Secure the plain ends with properly sized stainless steel ferrules or wire rope clips rated for 1/4 in diameter; the most frequent error is using undersized clips or skipping the recommended three-clip minimum, which can slip under the 1,640 lb working load limit.
What maintenance or replacement will the 100 ft 304 stainless steel cable need over time?
Inspect regularly for broken wires, corrosion spots, or distortion; replace the cable if more than six wires are broken in one lay length or if diameter reduction exceeds 1/64 in, as the unlubricated 1x19 construction offers no internal lubrication reserve.
What limit appears first when the cable runs continuously over sheaves at its 1,640 lb working load limit?
Fatigue from the 1x19 strand construction over small bend radii typically governs service life before the 8,200 lbf breaking strength is approached, because the stiff 19-wire strands concentrate bending stress on outer wires.
