The more cable drop in the middle, the more weight on the tensioning device, ergo the more load on the threads. Proof strength must be greater than load. Cable diameter and properties: The next variable is the diameter of the cable. Cables can be any wire rope, which meets load strength requirements by the ICC. [7]
In stricter senses, the term wire rope refers to a diameter larger than 9.5 mm (3 ⁄ 8 in), with smaller gauges designated cable or cords. [1] Initially wrought iron wires were used, but today steel is the main material used for wire ropes. Historically, wire rope evolved from wrought iron chains, which had a record of mechanical failure.
Comparison of SWG (red), AWG (blue) and IEC 60228 (black) wire gauge sizes from 0.03 to 200 mm² to scale on a 1 mm grid – in the SVG file, hover over a size to highlight it. In engineering applications, it is often most convenient to describe a wire in terms of its cross-section area, rather than its diameter, because the cross section is directly proportional to its strength and weight ...
Ropes suspended at operating level, permanently or temporarily. Ropes held on the water surface by buoys. Cables suspended underwater, permanently or temporarily. Ground cables normally resting on the bottom, pulled to the surface near the ferry. Possible forces and catenaries for a small cable ferry with chain or wire rope compared.
This type of compressed sleeve is commonly used to make mechanical or conductive connections. These sleeves join or terminate wire rope, aircraft cable, synthetic cable, fibrous rope, or electrical conductor cables. Oval swaged sleeve
A Bowden cable (/ ˈ b oʊ d ən / BOH-dən) [1] is a type of flexible cable used to transmit mechanical force or energy by the movement of an inner cable relative to a hollow outer cable housing. The housing is generally of composite construction, consisting of an inner lining, a longitudinally incompressible layer such as a helical winding or ...

A cable barrier separating lanes on a 2+1 road in Sweden. A cable barrier, sometimes referred to as guard cable or wire rope safety barrier (WRSB), is a type of roadside or median safety traffic barrier/guard rail. It consists of steel wire ropes mounted on weak posts.
