How to Order CableRail Standard Cable Assemblies

1. Carefully Review: Read all of the installation instructions, frame recommendations and details pages on this site.


2. Section Frames: Divide your railing frame into sections by determining which corner and end posts will be the cable termination posts. Remember that straight runs should not exceed 70 feet and runs with bends (2 bends at most) should not exceed 40 feet.


3. Determine Lengths: Measure the outside lengths of each of your sections from step 2 and select the cable assembly lengths that will fit each section. Be sure that the assemblies are at least 1 foot longer than the length of the section.


4. Calculate Quantities: The number of assemblies depends on your railing design. Remembering that each horizontal cable is a separate assembly and that the cables should not be spaced further than 3 inches apart, calculate the quantities needed for each of your assembly lengths.


5. Check Accessories & Tools Count up all the protector sleeves, rubber grommets, beveled washers, stainless end caps, cutters, drills, saws, lacing needles and cleaner you may need.
