Helical 5/16" Dead-End Cable Wrap

Helical 5/16" Dead-End Cable Wrap

The Helical Line Products 5/16" Dead-End Cable Wrap is a field-ready termination solution for 5/16" steel cable in tree cabling and bracing systems. The helical wrap design grips the cable mechanically — the abrasive inner surface bites into the cable strands as tension is applied, creating a firm, secure dead-end without swaging equipment or specialized tools.

Marked with a black identifier for quick size recognition in the field. A reliable, proven component for arborists installing or repairing mid-size cabling systems.
