Uncoated and Coated Cable

Coating your cable is optional, however, because it is fairly inexpensive and increases the life of your cable, it is recommended. The most common type of coating is a PVC jacket which can be clear or colored. See our color options here:

Uncoated

The cable material types available are:

Stainless Steel – Stainless Steel is used in applications that need corrosion protection.

Black Oxide Coated – Adds corrosion resistance to the wire rope.

The preferred cable for Cable Railing Systems is 1 x 19 for pedestrian railings because it is very rigid and has the lowest stretch under load.
