• Complete kit: Includes 220 ft of 1/8' vinyl coated stainless cable plus 192 accessories so you can set up wire runs without hunting for parts.
• 304 stainless steel: Corrosion resistant construction provides long life outdoors and reduces worry about rust on fixtures and cable.

• Varied hardware: Thimbles, sleeves, clips, eye screws, anchors and pegs cover mounting to wood, masonry and temporary tent setups.
• Tools included: The kit ships with a socket wrench and tape measure to speed installation and reduce the need for additional tools.

Who It's For

The kit is ideal for DIY homeowners installing long runs of string lights, trellis systems, or clotheslines, and for small event planners who need a weatherproof hanging solution that can be tightened with turnbuckles. Gardeners wanting strong plant support lines or people making outdoor rope displays will appreciate the combination of cable length and matching fittings.

Less suitable for precision industrial lifting or heavy structural use where certified load-rated hardware and inspection records are required; likewise, users needing thicker or different strand constructions should choose a different cable type.
