• Replace if the cable has been subjected to loads exceeding the 368 lbs breaking strength.
• Check for deformation or compression damage at connection points.

Installation Tips

• Use a proper cable cutter to ensure a clean, non-frayed end for inserting into sleeves.
• Insert the cable around the thimble to prevent sharp bends and abrasion at connection points.
• Apply a high-quality crimping tool to compress the aluminum sleeves fully; ensure the tool matches the sleeve size.
• Verify that the wire end extends slightly beyond the sleeve after crimping to ensure a secure hold.
• Maintain consistent tension across all lines if using for railing or trellis applications.
