Cable Jointers (Kwik-Locs)

Kwik-Loc® cable jointers are ideal for numerous field-installed aircraft cable loop applications. They are a fast, reliable way to suspend static loads. Lexco® Cable offers a variety of Kwik-Loc® cable jointers designed for use with varying weight loads and cable diameters from 1/32” to 3/16”.

KL50 cable jointers, designed for 1/32” to 3/64” diameter cable, are typically used for lightweight signs, lighting, and gallery displays.

KL75 cable jointers, designed for 1/16” diameter cable, typically used for light weight lighting and signage applications.

KL100, designed for 1/16” to 3/32” cable, is typically used to hang fluorescent lights, luminaries, lighting rafts, spiral ducts, and cable trays.

KL150, designed for 3/32” to 1/8” diameter cable, is typically used for hanging ducts, cable tray/baskets, sound systems, lighting rafts, luminaries, CCTV cameras, and secondary supports.

KL200 cable jointers, designed for 1/8” to 3/16” cable, is typically used for suspending heavy loads such as fan coil units and HID lights.

KL600 cable jointers, designed for 1/4” diameter cable, are the largest of the Kwik-Loc® series with the highest safe work load limit; the KL-600 can be used as a fast and reliable way to suspend services, lighting, and strut.

Cable jointers, also known as Kwik-Locs, are wire rope fittings used to quickly create adjustable loops for field-installed aircraft cable and suspension applications. They provide a fast, reliable way to suspend static loads without traditional swaging, making them useful for lighting, signage, ductwork, cable trays, displays, CCTV cameras, secondary supports, and other overhead installation needs.

Lexco Cable offers Kwik-Loc cable jointers and Kwik-Grips for a variety of aircraft cable diameters and weight load requirements. Options are available for lightweight display and signage applications as well as heavier-duty suspension systems using larger cable sizes. For field-installed cable assemblies, Lexco can help match the correct cable jointer to the cable diameter, load requirement, and application environment.

Frequently Asked Questions About Cable Jointer

What are cable jointers used for?2026-08-06T20:56:16+00:00

Cable jointers are used to create adjustable loops in aircraft cable for suspending static loads. They are commonly used for lighting, signs, gallery displays, ductwork, cable trays, sound systems, CCTV cameras, secondary supports, and other field-installed cable suspension applications. They provide a fast way to secure cable loops without traditional swaging.

What is a Kwik-Loc cable jointer?2026-08-06T20:56:45+00:00

A Kwik-Loc cable jointer is a type of wire rope fitting designed for aircraft cable loop applications. It allows installers to form a secure cable loop in the field and is available in different sizes for varying cable diameters and load requirements. Kwik-Locs are often used where fast installation and reliable suspension are needed.

How do I choose the right Kwik-Loc size?2026-08-06T20:57:25+00:00

The right Kwik-Loc size depends on the aircraft cable diameter, safe working load requirement, and what the assembly will be suspending. Smaller options are typically used for lightweight signs, lighting, and displays, while larger Kwik-Loc cable jointers are used for heavier loads such as ductwork, cable trays, fan coil units, HID lights, and strut.

Can cable jointers be used for overhead suspension?2026-08-06T20:58:18+00:00

Yes. Cable jointers are commonly used for overhead suspension of static loads, including lighting, ducts, cable trays, and displays. The correct cable jointer must be selected based on the cable diameter, load requirements, and installation conditions. For critical or load-sensitive applications, it is important to confirm compatibility before installation.

What information should I provide when requesting a quote for cable jointers?2026-08-06T20:59:06+00:00

When requesting a quote, provide the aircraft cable diameter, required Kwik-Loc size if known, suspended load weight, application type, installation environment, and any required hardware or cable assembly details. If available, include drawings, photos, specifications, or part numbers so Lexco can recommend the right cable jointer or aircraft cable assembly.
