Steel Cable Ends for OEM
& Industrial Applications

Lexco specializes in supplying steel cable ends and wire rope cable ends for OEMs and industrial buyers who require precise, load-rated termination solutions. Each fitting is selected or manufactured based on application-specific requirements including load capacity, environment, connection type, and installation method.

  • Sleeves, Clips, and Clamps: Termination hardware used to create loops, secure cable ends, and connect wire rope.
  • Eye Ends and Fork Ends: Attachment fittings designed for connection to pins, shackles, turnbuckles, and other hardware.
  • Threaded Studs and Plugs: Threaded cable ends designed for direct connection to tensioning and fastening systems.
  • Spelter Sockets: High-strength permanent wire rope terminations commonly used for lifting, rigging, and structural applications.
  • Swageless Fittings: Field-installable fittings that provide secure cable terminations without swaging equipment.
  • Turnbuckles and Tensioning Fittings: Adjustable hardware used to control and maintain cable tension.

Choosing Wire Rope Fittings for Load-Bearing Applications

Not all wire rope fittings are designed for the same load, connection type, or installation method. The right fitting depends on how the assembly will be used and the performance requirements behind it.

When selecting fittings for load-bearing applications, consider:

  • Expected working load and safety requirements
  • Cable diameter, construction, and material
  • Permanent vs. field-installed termination needs
  • Indoor, outdoor, marine, or corrosive environments
  • Connection type, movement, and attachment hardware
  • Inspection, proof-loading, or testing requirements

For high-strength or application-specific assemblies, Lexco can help determine the appropriate wire rope fitting and termination method based on your requirements.
