Cable railing systems offer a sleek, modern alternative to traditional railings by using high-tension stainless steel cables for safety and style. They provide unobstructed views and are ideal for both residential and commercial applications. With options for straight, angled, and vertical runs, they adapt easily to various architectural needs. Choosing the right components—like frames, cables, and tensioners—is essential for durability, strength, and aesthetics.

Most people are familiar with bungee cords. They are a simple but useful tool that you probably have in your home or garage.

Push-pull controls are a wide class of mechanical controls that utilize cables that can be pulled or pushed for precise control. There are a wide variety of push-pull cables for many different applications, including the automotive, aerospace, and heavy machinery industries. These cables are used for adjusting and maneuvering control systems and play a critical role despite their relatively simple function. They are reliable and precise analog controls that are preferred for those applications where fast, intuitive, exact controls are required.

Steel cable and wire rope are useful in both large and small-scale applications. On the small-scale side, wire ropes and steel cabling can be useful for applications in both commercial and consumer tasks, such as towing trailers, boatlift cable assemblies, and cable winches; they can even be found in cable exercise machines. If you plan to cut or modify wire rope and steel cable, it is important to understand how to do so properly.
