There are two types of cable fittings
FE Fixed Ends are non-adjustable end termination fittings that have no tensioning capabilities. Therefore, each Fixed End must be paired with a Tension Adjustment Fitting.
TAF Tension Adjustment Fittings include Threaded Terminals, Turnbuckles and Adjusters that are used to tighten the cable lines. Tension is adjusted by tightening the nuts on the Threaded Terminal fittings, spinning the tubular bodies on the Turnbuckles or rotating the bolt on the Adjusters. Every cable assembly must have at least one Tension Adjustment Fitting.
Please note that CableRail custom cables, fittings and assemblies should never be used for lifting, hanging or other high-load applications.
Fittings can be attached to the cable either at the factory or in the field.
M
Machine swage fittings are attached to the cable at our factory using a hydraulic cold forming press. The finished swaged area
has a smooth, hexagonal shape. Machine swaged assemblies are fabricated to your exact lengths and ship ready for installation. |
C
CableCrimp™ style fittings are attached by the customer in the field with a hand crimp tool (part #3742, sold separately).
The finished swage shaft shows multiple crimp marks. This crimping method has less strength than a machine swage. Most 1/8" and 3/16" cable fittings are
available in CableCrimp™ styles. |

QC
QC Swageless Fittings allow for field installation without the need of special crimping tools. The patented Quick-Connect® one-way jaws lock on to the cable making for strong, labor-saving, efficient cable connections. Simply cut the cable to length, insert it into the Quick-Connect® fitting, and the one-way jaws automatically lock-on. |
