5/16" 6x37 Wire Rope Cable | Bright Steel

Made of strong Extra Improved Plowed grade steel (EIPS), this bright wire rope belongs to the 6x37 class, which is known for flexibility. Along with the 6x19 class, 6x37 wire rope is the perfect general-use steel cable and can be used for many applications, including as hoisting rope, suspension cables, winch lines, and more.

The 6x37 configuration offers higher flexibility and better fatigue-resistance (it can bend repeatedly without breaking) than the 6x19; however, it is less abrasion-resistant.

6x37 Wire Rope Configuration

Our wire rope is made using EIPS-grade cable. EIPS (Extra Improved Plow Steel) refers to the strength of the wire rope - its tensile strength is around 10% greater than an IPS grade, improving the break strength.

The class of this wire rope is 6x37. These numbers nominally refer to the construction of the wire rope - the number of outer strands around the core and an estimation of the number of wires within each of these outer strands. so for a 6x37 class, the number of outer strands is 6, and the number of wires making up each strand can range from 27-49. The construction of the rope you will be receiving is 6x36 - if you are looking for something different, please call.

Finish & Core

This product has a bright steel finish, which means it's uncoated except for an A-1 petroleum-based lubricant. This lubricant offers basic corrosion- and water-resistance and reduces friction to protect the rope. The lubricant is applied to both internal and external wires for more in-depth protection.

Fiber cores (FC) are more flexible than Independent Wire Rope Cores (IWRC), but are less resistant to crushing and should not be exposed to temperatures of greater than 180°F / 82°C per OSHA.

Bright Steel Wire Rope Features:

• Our wire rope meets all dimensional and strength requirements of Federal Specification RR-W-410 (latest revision) and ASTM A1023.
• This item is imported from a vetted vendor - if you are looking for wire rope from a specific country, please call in or fill out our custom wire rope form.
• A certificate of conformity is available for a nominal fee - please request when you place your order.

Wire Rope by the Foot Ordering FAQ

Does this wire rope come as one length? Yes, the quantity you add to the cart will be provided as one unbroken length of rope. So if you add this to the cart with a quantity of 1000, you will receive one 1000-foot long rope.

Can I order multiple separate lengths? Yes. For example, if you need two 1500-foot lengths of rope, you would set the quantity to 1500 and then add that to the cart twice. For each separate instance you add this to the cart, you will get a separate length of rope.

Can I order lengths less than the minimum order quantity if when combined they will be greater than the minimum order quantity? Yes - please call to speak to one of our product experts to place this order.
