Dayton 304 Stainless Wire Rope
This Dayton wire rope is a 100 ft length of 304 stainless steel cable designed for lifting and pulling tasks. It suits riggers, maintenance teams and marine users who need corrosion-resistant strength. The plain ends allow custom termination on site. It is not for buyers who require factory-fitted hooks, thimbles or swaged fittings.
Capacity and working limits
The rope carries a working load limit of 980 lb and a breaking strength of 4,900 lbf, giving a 5:1 design factor. The 6 x 42 strand construction over a fiber core provides flexibility for sheave work. It runs out when loads exceed the 980 lb WLL or when abrasion reduces the effective cross-section below the rated capacity.
Stainless 304 constraints
Grade 304 stainless steel resists rust in fresh water and mild industrial atmospheres but can pit in sustained salt-spray or chlorinated environments. The unlubricated, uncoated surface requires field lubrication for cyclic bending applications. California Proposition 65 warnings apply for cancer and reproductive-harm chemicals present in the material.

Questions about this item
Will the 5/16 in diameter rope fit standard 5/16 in shackles and thimbles I already own?
Yes, the 5/16 in overall diameter matches common hardware sized for that dimension, so existing shackles and thimbles rated for 5/16 in wire rope will accept it.
How can I verify the 6 x 42 strand construction is intact after installing the 100 ft length?
Inspect the rope along its full 100 ft length; the 6 x 42 classification means six outer strands of 42 wires each should appear uniform with no broken wires, kinks or corrosion on the silver 304 stainless surface.
Does the 100 ft coil arrive with any end fittings or lubrication, or must I supply thimbles, clips and lubricant separately?
The rope has plain ends and is unlubricated, so you will need to purchase thimbles, wire-rope clips or swage sleeves and apply a suitable wire-rope lubricant before putting it into service.
