Helical 3/8" Dead-End Cable Wrap The Helical Line Products 3/8" Dead-End Cable Wrap is built for terminating larger-diameter steel cable in tree cabling and bracing systems. The helical wrap design grips the cable mechanically β the abrasive inner surface bites into the cable strands as tension is applied, creating a firm, secure dead-end without swaging equipment or specialized tools. Marked with an orange identifier for quick size recognition in the field. The go-to choice for arborists working with heavier cabling systems where 3/8" cable is specified.
