1×12 steel wire rope delivers compact yet powerful strength. Designed for tight spaces and high-tension environments, this rope offers impressive durability and a clean, low-profile look.

Available Diameters: 1.1mm – 1.4mm

Structure: 1×12 (12 wires in 1 strand)

Core: Steel Wire

Material: High Carbon Steel

Finish: Electro-Galvanized

Application Type: Support core in cables

Available Package: Coil / Iron Spool / Wooden Spool

1×12 galvanized steel strand offers a unique combination of high tensile strength and compact size, making it ideal for applications where space is limited but durability is crucial. With 12 wires in a single stranded design, this rope delivers outstanding tension capacity and abrasion resistance, and still maintains a sleek, low-profile appearance.

Finished with electro-galvanization, the 1×12 galvanized steel wire rope offers clean surface quality, cost-effective corrosion protection, and excellent crimping compatibility. It is especially favored by control cable manufacturers looking to optimize for stiffness and performance without using higher strand counts.

  • Better crimping performance due to uniform wire distribution
  • Exceptional tensile strength
  • Suitable for tight-space routing with low flex requirements
  • Low stretch—keeps tension consistent over long runs
  • Optimized for price-sensitive but quality-demanding projects
