--For private homeowners for deck railings, architectural railings as a fencing substitute.
--For a JPL Mars space flight, a cable assembly with a specific breaking strength to tether a robotic arm.
--For car dealerships, a cable assembly to sell as a spare tire lockdown.
--For the trades, cable assemblies, some with bright lime green vinyl-coating, to tie down tools like a rotary saw; cable assemblies for hinges on tool box doors.
--For slot machines in the gaming industry, a push-pull control cable to use as part of the internal mechanism.
--For the airline industry crew to use as fall protection cables (some with safety orange vinyl coating), work crew tethers to a safety anchor; Lexco supplies the cable and hooks that attach to the safety anchor as a backup fall protection.
--For the trucking industry, trailer trucks use cable assemblies to tie down tarpaulins.
--For the chemical industry, cable assemblies are used in fire protection cabinets (stored chemicals ignite; cable assembly has an S link; the link melts and allows the cabinet to shut itself and seal itself).

Wire rope assemblies support a wide range of non-flight-critical aerospace and defense applications but the cable itself is only one part of the equation.

Fittings, coatings, dimensions, tolerances, proof loading, identification, and documentation can all affect the finished assembly. Lexco’s latest blog explores what buyers and engineers should consider when developing a custom aerospace or military cable assembly.

Learn how certified aircraft cable, mil-spec fittings, fabrication processes, and testing requirements come together to meet demanding project specifications https://www.lexcocable.com/resources/blog/the-role-of-wire-rope-in-aerospace-assemblies/

Construction, material, coatings, bend radius, fatigue resistance, and environmental exposure can all influence how a cable performs in aerospace and defense applications.

In our latest blog, we break down:
- MIL-DTL-83420 aircraft cable options
- Differences between 7Ă—7 and 7Ă—19 constructions
- Galvanized vs. stainless steel cable
- Jacketed vs. non-jacketed options
- How fittings, testing, and traceability factor into the finished assembly

If you’re specifying aircraft cable for a non-flight-critical aerospace or defense application, understanding these details can help you make a more informed selection

When a fastener, pin, or cap needs to stay close without getting in the way, a wire rope lanyard can provide a simple, reliable solution. Used across aerospace, defense, marine, automotive, lifting, and industrial applications, wire rope lanyards help prevent lost components, improve safety, and keep equipment connected where it matters most.

Lexco’s latest blog explores:
- Common wire rope and aircraft cable options
- Terminations like stamped eyelets, loops, mounting tabs, pins, and hooks
- Coating and material choices for different environments
- Customization, testing, labeling, and quality requirements

Lexco Cable continues to invest in equipment that supports greater capacity, precision, and flexibility for custom wire rope assemblies. Our new press increases our ability to swage wire rope diameters from 1/4" to 1-1/4", helping us support a wider range of assembly needs. We’ve also added an SR38 CNC machine that expands our CNC capacity, allows us to machine up to 1-1/2" round bar stock, and gives us more axis travel for larger custom wire rope fittings, threaded sleeves, and longer parts.

These additions help us keep more capabilities in-house while supporting efficient production for complex custom projects.

August marks two years since Lexco Cable went live with our Masterplan ERP system, and the upgrade continues to support better service behind the scenes. By helping our team move toward paperless workflows, improve scheduling, and gain clearer visibility into inventory and production details, the system has strengthened how we track, manage, and fulfill customer orders.

Today, our team can assign production orders faster, clock orders with greater accuracy, process repeat assembly orders more efficiently, and maintain stronger inventory accuracy through serialized reels. As we continue refining our processes, our goal remains to deliver accurate, responsive service with the speed and precision customers expect from Lexco.
