L Galvanized Steel Rely on durable performance and dependable strength with the Koch Industries 002073 Galvanized Steel Wire Rope, a 500-foot length of 3/32-inch (13-gauge) stranded cable built for medium-duty applications where flexibility, abrasion resistance, and corrosion protection are essential. Featuring a 7x7 construction?seven outer strands, each made of seven individual galvanized steel wires?this wire rope delivers an optimal balance of strength, flexibility, and resilience for a wide range of utility and industrial uses. The galvanized finish provides a protective zinc coating that resists rust, corrosion, and environmental wear, making it ideal for both indoor and outdoor applications, including damp or humid conditions. This wire rope is engineered for medium-strength tasks and has a working load limit (WLL) of 184 pounds. **Never exceed the working load limit**?this cable is not designed for overhead lifting or human support. Commonly used in garage door systems, winch assemblies, gate hardware, tie-downs, fencing, and rigging applications, this wire rope combines reliable performance with long-term durability. Its stranded construction allows for smooth bending around pulleys and guides, while maintaining excellent resistance to kinking and fatigue under repeated use. The 3/32-inch diameter and 500-foot length make it suitable for extended runs or multiple projects, and its round rod shape ensures compatibility with standard cable guides, thimbles, and fittings. The silver-polished galvanized surface provides a clean, professional appearance while enhancing visibility during installation and inspection. Weighing 7.6 pounds and wound neatly on a spool (SO/500), the wire rope is easy to unroll, measure, cut, and store. It comes with a compact footprint (7.8" x 3.5" x 7.8"), making it convenient for transport and storage in garages, workshops, or job sites.
