3/8" 7x19 Aircraft Cable | 316 Stainless Steel
This 3/8" 7x19 aircraft cable is manufactured from Type 316 stainless steel and is a popular choice for marine rigging, boat lifts, deck railing systems, pulleys, winches, and other applications exposed to harsh environments. The 7x19 construction utilizes smaller individual wires to provide exceptional flexibility and fatigue resistance, making it easy to handle while delivering long-lasting performance in demanding conditions.
Note: Despite the name, aircraft cable is not intended for aircraft use. Consult a qualified rigging professional before using this cable in critical overhead lifting applications.
Marine-Grade Stainless Steel Cable for Boat Rigging, Railings & Outdoor Applications
Type 316 stainless steel is widely recognized as the preferred material for marine and coastal environments due to its superior corrosion resistance. The addition of molybdenum improves protection against rust, saltwater exposure, and harsh weather conditions. While 316 stainless steel is slightly less strong than Type 304 stainless steel, it provides the highest level of corrosion resistance available for stainless aircraft cable applications.
How Does Aircraft Cable Differ From Wire Rope?
Aircraft cable is typically available in diameters up to 3/8", while traditional wire rope is commonly manufactured in much larger diameters. The smaller strand construction found in aircraft cable creates greater flexibility, making it ideal for cable railing systems, pulleys, fitness equipment, marine applications, and other installations requiring repeated bending.
7x19 Aircraft Cable Configuration
This aircraft cable is manufactured from Type 316 stainless steel. Often referred to as marine-grade stainless steel, Type 316 offers outstanding corrosion resistance and is commonly used in environments exposed to moisture, saltwater, chemicals, and extreme weather.
The class of this cable is 7x19. In aircraft cable construction, these numbers represent the total number of strands, including the core strand, and an approximation of the number of wires within each strand. A 7x19 construction consists of seven strands, each containing approximately 15-26 individual wires, creating a highly flexible and fatigue-resistant cable.

Accessories & More
Complete your aircraft cable assembly with compatible wire rope fittings and rigging hardware. We carry a variety of type 316 stainless steel accessories, including wire rope clips, turnbuckles, and eye bolts, to help you create a secure and dependable cable system. For optimal corrosion resistance and long-term performance, we recommend using type 316 stainless steel components throughout your assembly, as mixing different materials or finishes can increase the risk of galvanic corrosion.
