3/32" Zinc Plated Steel Cable Thimbles
This pack contains fifteen zinc plated steel cable thimbles designed for 3/32 inch wire rope. They are intended for rigging, lifting and general hardware applications where a protected loop is required. The thimbles maintain the loop shape and reduce wear on the cable strands.
Loop protection and load distribution limits
A thimble prevents the load from bearing directly on the wires inside the loop, which reduces pinching and abrasion. The zinc plating provides a degree of corrosion resistance for indoor or sheltered outdoor use. The component does not increase the rated breaking strength of the wire rope itself.
Simple installation with common tools
Installation requires forming a loop in the cable, inserting the thimble, and securing the dead end with wire rope clips or a swaged fitting. The thimble must seat fully in the loop so the load bears on the groove, not the throat. Using too few clips or the wrong clip size for the rope diameter is the most common cause of slippage.

Questions about this item
How many thimbles are in the 15 pack and what cable size do they fit?
The pack contains 15 zinc-plated steel thimbles sized for 3/32 inch cable loops.
What does the thimble do once it is seated inside a wire-rope loop?
It preserves the loop shape and stops the load from pinching or abrading the individual wires.
What material and finish are used, and how does that affect corrosion resistance?
Zinc-plated steel provides a sacrificial layer that slows rust on the thimble surface in outdoor or damp conditions.
