Dayton 5/16 in 100 ft Cable

This Dayton cable is a 100-foot length of 5/16 inch diameter galvanized steel wire rope. It uses a 7x19 strand construction with an IWRC core for lifting and pulling tasks. The working load limit is 1,960 lb with a breaking strength of 9,800 lbf. A vinyl coating covers the silver steel surface.

Suits general lifting and rigging

The cable fits applications needing a 100-foot run with a 1,960 lb working load limit. Buyers who need a higher working load limit or a longer continuous length should look at other options. The plain ends require termination hardware for most installations. The vinyl coating adds handling comfort but does not change the rated capacity.

Check diameter and end fittings

Verify that 5/16 inch diameter matches your sheaves, drums, or connector hardware. Confirm that plain-cut ends are acceptable or plan for swaging, clips, or thimbles. Ensure the 13/32 inch overall diameter with coating clears any fairleads or guides. California Proposition 65 warnings apply to this product.

Questions about this item

What fittings or hardware do I need to attach the 5/16 in galvanized steel cable with plain ends for lifting?

You will need compatible wire-rope clips, thimbles, or swaged sleeves rated for 5/16 in diameter and a 1,960 lb working load limit to terminate the plain ends safely.

Can I run this 7x19 vinyl-coated cable over existing sheaves or pulleys sized for uncoated 5/16 in rope?

The vinyl coating increases the overall diameter to 13/32 in, so sheaves grooved for bare 5/16 in rope may be too narrow and cause premature wear.

How can I verify the cable meets its 9,800 lbf breaking strength after installation?

A proof-load test to twice the 1,960 lb working load limit, performed by a qualified inspector with calibrated equipment, confirms the assembly holds the rated strength.
