Forked End Cable Fittings (Fork & Jaw Ends)

Lexco Cable provides forked end cable fittings, including fork ends and jaw ends, for secure articulated connections in industrial, marine, military, and architectural applications

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

Forked end cable fittings are widely used in applications that require secure attachment with controlled articulation.

  • Structural Cable Systems: Tensioned architectural and load-bearing assemblies
  • Marine Rigging: Corrosion-resistant connections for dynamic environments
  • Industrial Equipment: Mechanical linkages and motion transfer systems
  • Aerospace & Military: MIL-SPEC assemblies requiring precision and reliability
  • Construction & Infrastructure: Load-rated cable systems and support structures

Their ability to provide both strength and flexibility makes forked ends a preferred solution in demanding environments.

 Frequently Asked Questions About Fork and Jaw Ends

What is a forked end fitting?2026-07-20T09:11:49+00:00

A forked end fitting is a clevis-style cable termination that attaches directly to wire rope, providing a secure connection point with a pin-based attachment.

What is the difference between fork ends and jaw ends?2026-07-20T09:11:46+00:00

The terms are often used interchangeably, though they may vary slightly in design depending on the application and specification standard.

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?2026-07-20T09:11:03+00:00

Yes. Lexco offers fully assembled cable systems with machine-swaged forked end fittings for consistent performance and reduced installation time.
