Cable Fork Ends & Wire Rope
Jaw Fittings

Lexco Cable supplies cable fork ends, wire rope jaw fittings, swage forks, open swage sockets, and clevis-style fittings for secure pin-connected terminations in wire rope and aircraft cable assemblies.

These fittings are used where the cable needs to connect to a bracket, tab, clevis, or other mounting point while allowing controlled articulation. Options are available in stainless steel, carbon steel, commercial, NAS, and military-specification configurations.

Forked End Cable Fittings for OEM & Structural Applications

Lexco supplies forked end cable fittings for OEM manufacturers, rigging professionals, and structural engineers who require reliable, load-rated cable terminations. Each forked end is selected or manufactured based on application-specific requirements, including cable construction, load conditions, and environmental exposure.

Our team supports both bulk supply and fully assembled cable systems, ensuring proper fit, strength, and performance across production and field applications.

Applications for Forked End Cable Fittings

Cable fork and jaw fittings are used in structural cable systems, marine rigging, industrial machinery, mechanical linkages, aerospace and military assemblies, and OEM equipment.

Selection should account for cable diameter and construction, pin size, jaw opening, material, load requirements, corrosion exposure, and mating hardware.

 Frequently Asked Questions About Fork and Jaw Ends

What is a forked end fitting?2026-09-29T16:16:43+00:00

A forked end fitting is a wire rope termination with two parallel sides that connect to a mating tab or bracket using a pin. It creates a secure connection while allowing controlled movement at the cable end.

What is the difference between fork ends and jaw ends?2026-09-29T16:17:24+00:00

Fork ends and jaw ends serve similar functions and both create pin-connected cable terminations. Specific fittings may differ in jaw width, pin size, material, swage configuration, and overall geometry.

Are forked ends stronger than cable loops?2026-07-20T09:11:15+00:00

Forked ends can provide greater strength and reliability due to direct swaging and reduced component complexity.

Do forked end fittings include clevis pins?2026-07-20T09:11:10+00:00

Commercial-grade fittings typically include pins, while MIL-SPEC fittings often require pins to be ordered separately.

Can Lexco provide assembled cables with forked ends installed?2026-09-29T16:18:01+00:00

Yes. Lexco can manufacture complete wire rope and aircraft cable assemblies with fork ends, jaw fittings, swage forks, open swage sockets, and related fittings installed to the required dimensions.
