Pliable 7-Strand Galvanized Steel Cable for Tree Cabling & Support SystemsOur 7-strand pliable galvanized steel cable is designed for workability and corrosion resistance — the two most important qualities for long-term tree support installations. The 7-strand construction provides flexibility for easy handling and installation, while the galvanized coating protects against rust and weathering over the life of the system. Available in four diameters with varying MBS ratings and spool lengths, plus EHS (Extra High Strength) grade in select diameters.Available Sizes & Specifications 3/16" x 250' — MBS: 1,150 lbs 1/4" x 250' — MBS: 1,900 lbs 5/16" x 200' — MBS: 3,200 lbs 3/8" x 150' — MBS: 4,250 lbs EHS (Extra High Strength) grade is also available in select diameters — specify when ordering.Key Features 7-strand construction — pliable and easy to work with during installation Galvanized steel — corrosion-resistant for long-term outdoor use Multiple diameters available — select the right MBS for your application EHS grade available — for higher strength requirements in select diameters Quick Decision Guide Installing a static cabling system on a co-dominant stem? Select the diameter based on the load requirements of the union being supported. Need higher strength than standard grade? Ask about EHS grade availability in your required diameter.

Frequently Asked QuestionsWhat does 7-strand mean?7-strand cable is made from 7 individual wire strands twisted together. This construction makes the cable more flexible and easier to handle than solid wire, which is important for routing cable through tree canopies and around hardware during installation.What is EHS grade cable?EHS stands for Extra High Strength. EHS grade cable has a higher MBS rating than standard grade cable of the same diameter, making it suitable for applications where additional strength is required.Why is galvanized coating important for tree cabling?Tree cabling installations are permanent or semi-permanent outdoor installations exposed to rain, humidity, and temperature changes. Galvanized coating protects the steel from rust and corrosion, extending the service life of the installation.
