Available in two different grades of stainless steel: 316 and 304. Both are offered by Trinity Sling in cut lengths or as part of an assembly with other stainless-steel attachments. Stainless steel cable comes in 7×19-style wire rope up to 3/8” and 6×19-style for larger sizes. The 7×19 stainless steel rope is often called aircraft cable, but common 7×19 stainless cable should NOT be used in aircraft applications; specially-rated rope is required. Stainless steel rope is excellent for wet applications or where appearance is important.
