304 Stainless Steel Cable 50 ft
This Dayton cable is a 50 ft length of 1/8 in diameter wire rope made from 304 stainless steel. It is built for lifting and pulling tasks where corrosion resistance matters. The fiber core construction gives flexibility while the 6 x 42 strand classification distributes load across many wires. The plain ends are ready for termination with clips or thimbles.
Suited for general lifting and rigging.
The working load limit is 140 lb and the breaking strength is 700 lbf, so it fits light-duty lifting, tensioning, guying and marine tie-downs. The unlubricated, uncoated surface keeps contamination low in clean environments. Buyers who need a higher working load limit or a lubricated rope for frequent cycling over sheaves should look at something else. California Proposition 65 warnings apply to this product.
140 lb working load limit decides fit
The single figure that determines whether this cable is the right part is the 140 lb working load limit. Every attachment point, anchor and load calculation must stay at or below that value. The 700 lbf breaking strength provides the safety factor but does not raise the allowable load. Verify the limit against your application before purchase.

Questions about this item
How can I verify the 140 lb working load limit is holding after I rig the 1/8 in 304 stainless cable?
Apply a known test weight up to 140 lb and confirm the 6 x 42 strand construction shows no permanent deformation or slippage at the plain ends.
What comes in the box and what must I source separately for a complete 50 ft lifting assembly?
The box contains the 50 ft unlubricated 304 stainless wire rope with plain ends; you must purchase thimbles, clips, sleeves or other termination hardware separately.
Should I choose the 1/8 in diameter with 700 lbf breaking strength or a different size for my 140 lb WLL requirement?
The listed 1/8 in cable already provides a 700 lbf breaking strength and 140 lb working load limit, matching a 5:1 design factor; select this version when those figures meet your load case.
