I need a lightweight security cable to secure some items in my garage. It had to be light and flexible (to get through tight corners, but strong enough to secure my stuff). This cable lived up to the bill, it was flexible, strong (braided steel cables), had a protective plastic cover over the entire cable and the cable diameter (10mm) was small enough for my lock (2" shackle) to fully close and secure Both ends. It comes in a variety of lengths (I ordered the 15ft version). I am happy with my purchase and would recommend it to anyone looking for a good security cable.
