Swaged terminations provide strong end connections and are resistant to wire fatigue where the cable enters the socket, making this configuration a practical choice for demanding wire rope assemblies.

- Open & Closed Swage Sockets: Features an open socket with a pin on one end and a closed socket designed to accept a compatible pin or bolt on the other.
- Fatigue-Resistant Swage Terminations: Swage sockets provide good resistance to wire fatigue at the point where the cable and socket connect.
Common Applications
