Dayton 1/4 in Stainless Steel Cable
This 25 ft length of 304 stainless steel wire rope is rated for a 900 lb working load limit. It is built for lifting and pulling tasks where corrosion resistance matters. The plain end finish means the cable is ready for custom termination on site. It suits riggers, maintenance crews and marine users who need a reliable, uncoated line.
6 x 37 IWRC construction limits
The 6 x 37 strand classification with an independent wire rope core gives flexibility but sets a firm 900 lb working load limit. Breaking strength is listed at 4,500 lbf, so the safety factor is fixed by design. Unlubricated, uncoated steel will shed water but requires regular inspection for wear and corrosion. California Proposition 65 warnings apply to this product.
Installation and common issues
Plain ends need proper splicing, swaging or clips rated for the 1/4 in diameter to reach the stated capacity. Skipping a thimble or using undersized hardware is the most frequent cause of premature failure. Always verify the bend radius suits your sheave or block before loading. No factory lubrication means the rope should be dressed before first use.

Questions about this item
How do I choose between the available lengths and diameters for this cable?
The cable is supplied as a single 25 ft length with a 1/4 in diameter and a 900 lb working load limit.
What does the 900 lb working load limit mean when the cable is rigged in a machine?
It is the maximum load that should be applied in normal lifting or pulling use; the rope itself breaks at 4,500 lbf, giving a 5:1 safety factor.
What interface or standard governs the 6 x 37 stainless construction and what does it cap in practice?
The 6 x 37 classification describes the strand layout; the 304 stainless IWRC core caps corrosion resistance and the 900 lb WLL caps the safe working load.
