Wire Rope Eyelets & Cable
Eye End Fittings

Lexco Cable offers wire rope eyelets and cable eye end fittings for creating secure attachment points on wire rope, aircraft cable, and custom cable assemblies. Options include stamped eyelets, marine eyes, strap eyes, ring eyes, pin eye terminals, closed swage sockets, and other wire rope end fittings for commercial and military applications.

These fittings connect cable assemblies to pins, hooks, shackles, clevises, brackets, and other hardware. Lexco can help match the fitting to the required cable diameter, load, material, environment, and connection style.

Choosing a Wire Rope Eyelet or Swage Eye Fitting

Choosing the right eye end depends on the cable diameter, load requirements, mating hardware, material, and environment. Stamped eyelets and ring eyes provide compact attachment points, while strap eyes, pin eye terminals, and closed swage sockets support different connection and load requirements.

Stainless steel fittings may be preferred where corrosion resistance is important. Lexco can supply individual fittings or incorporate them into a complete custom cable assembly.
