Dayton 5/16 in 100 ft Stainless Cable
This Dayton cable is a 100-foot length of 5/16 inch diameter wire rope made from 304 stainless steel. It features a 1 x 19 strand construction with an independent wire rope core and comes unlubricated with plain ends. The silver finish is uncoated and the product carries California Proposition 65 warnings for cancer and reproductive harm.
For Lifting Jobs Needing Corrosion Resistance
The cable suits rigging, lifting, and pulling tasks where a 2,500 lb working load limit and 12,500 lbf breaking strength are required. Its stainless build resists rust in marine or outdoor settings. Buyers who need a lubricated line, a different end termination, or a higher working load limit should look at something else.
2,500 lb Working Load Limit
The working load limit of 2,500 lb is the key figure that decides if this cable matches the load requirements of the job. Exceeding this limit risks failure even though the breaking strength is rated at 12,500 lbf. Always match the working load limit to the maximum intended load for safe operation.

Questions about this item
How do I install the 5/16 in cable and what step is often missed?
Uncoil the 100 ft length slowly to avoid kinks in the 1 x 19 strand 304 stainless steel rope. The step people miss is confirming the plain ends are properly terminated before applying any load.
What maintenance or replacement will the unlubricated 304 stainless steel cable need?
Inspect the IWRC core and 1 x 19 strands regularly for wear, corrosion or broken wires. Replace the cable if any strand damage appears, as the unlubricated, uncoated surface offers no internal corrosion protection.
What limit appears first when the cable is used continuously at its 2500 lb working load?
The 2500 lb working load limit is reached long before the 12,500 lbf breaking strength. Sustained loading at the WLL leaves no safety margin, so the working load limit is the first constraint encountered.
