Swage sockets are recommended for use on 6x19 or 6x37 IWRC regular lay ropes. They are also satisfactory on galvanized bridge rope. They are not recommended for use on fiber core or lang lay ropes. Before using sockets with other type lay, construction or grade of wire rope, it is recommended that the termination be proofloaded to prove the adequacy of the assembly.
These open swage stainless steel sockets are designed to be crimped on to wire rope or aircraft cable.
