Quality 3/32 " cable

I'm impressed with the 3/32" cable. It seems stronger than I expected but still flexible enough. Be sure to obtain the correct size wire thimbles when making loops. I use this to hang bistro lights and it works really well. Be sure to pay it straight off the spool (e.g. by sticking a screwdriver in the hole) so there are no kinks.

Pros
  • Easy to read control panel
Cons
  • New competition has arrived

Some of these cables are rusty

Unfortunately some, but not all, of the cables I have used have rusted after a few months.

I've never worked with this type of cable, so maybe that's why. Maybe there is a way to remove the rust…

Pros
  • Several competitors
Cons
  • are unreliable

Zipline Cable

This cable is ideal for ziplining. I researched for weeks to design a longer than usual zipline. For such cables longer than 200 feet, they specify a larger wire gauge for safety/liability reasons.

I originally wanted to run a 5 to 600 foot cable across the pond, but due to availability I could not get a…

Pros
  • Excellent Overall Performance
Cons
  • Doubtful
