Lexco Cable is proudly ISO9001 certified, and recognized for quality and clear communication structures. This internationally recognized standard acts as a benchmark of Lexco Cable’s dedication and expertise.
Our custom assemblies have made us a go-to for several leading names within the industry seeking innovative solutions in every channel- from construction and flight to landing and storage. The aerospace industry turns to Lexco Cable for wire rope and mechanical cable assemblies such as:
Lexco Cable has even left the atmosphere, having created a cable that traveled to Mars. There, it was designed to fail at a specific tensile point in order to deploy a parachute.
With extensive expertise, Lexco Cable is able to perfectly meet the specialized, specific non-flight-critical wire rope and cable needs of the aerospace industry. If need be, assemblies can be put through a pull-test or proof-load to ensure they’ll meet those crucial requirements, and an AS9102 can be provided to ensure quality. Lexco Cable is also capable of meeting precise tolerances and providing DFARS-compliant assemblies.

Lexco Cable carries a DOD Code of 252.225-7002 per DFARS compliance. In addition, Lexco Cable is International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) registered. Lexco’s CAGE code is 1VXG5.
Wire rope has an abundance of uses in the aerospace industry at every level. Cranes that assist in aircraft construction use robust steel cables to lift and lower heavy parts. Planes use aerospace wire and cables internally, specifically Bowden cables, to connect the pedals and levers within the cockpit. The aerospace industry uses wire ropes and cables as shock vibration absorbers - especially in military jets.
In fact, the aerospace industry makes so much use of wire rope and cable assemblies that this type of cable is now usually referred to as ‘aircraft cable’ - even when it’s not being used for flight controls.
The aerospace industry uses wire rope because it is strong, reliable, and able to withstand high amounts of force and pressure - such as when it is thousands of feet in the air. These cables also need to be corrosion and heat-resistant.
Bowden cables, as mentioned, are used because they help transmit energy and force between the cowl flaps, throttle, propellor pitch, and other aircraft areas.
Lexco Cable wire ropes are the favored choice of the aerospace industry because they are safe, adaptable, and strong
