Black PVC Coated Steel Wire Rope 3/4 mm – 100 Metres

This black PVC coated steel wire rope 3/4 mm combines a galvanised steel wire rope core with a smooth black PVC outer coating. The steel wire rope has a diameter of 3 mm and an overall diameter of 4 mm including the coating. Supplied on a 100-metre reel, it can be used for a wide range of fastening, guiding and general construction applications.

The black PVC coating provides a neat finish and helps protect the underlying steel wires from direct contact with moisture, dirt and surrounding materials. Its dark appearance makes this black coated wire rope particularly useful where a discreet cable installation or a black finish is preferred.

• Stated working load: 301 kg
• Supplied length: 100 metres per reel

6x7+PP wire rope construction

The galvanised steel core features a 6x7+PP construction. This means the wire rope consists of six strands, each containing seven steel wires, arranged around a polypropylene (PP) core.

The steel wires are galvanised to provide a protective zinc layer. The black PVC coating forms an additional protective covering around the wire rope and helps reduce direct exposure to moisture and contact with adjacent surfaces.

What does 3/4 mm mean?

PVC coated steel wire rope is commonly specified using two diameters:

• 3 mm: diameter of the galvanised steel wire rope without the PVC coating.
• 4 mm: overall outside diameter including the black PVC coating.

The nominal coating thickness is therefore 0.5 mm around the wire rope. When selecting fittings or fastening components, consider the overall diameter and the required method of attachment.

Tensile properties and breaking load

This black PVC coated steel wire rope has the following stated strength values:

• Minimum breaking load: 1,509 kg
• Stated working load: 301 kg

The minimum breaking load is the stated load at which the wire rope breaks under tensile loading. The stated working load is a lower reference value and should not be confused with the breaking load.

The actual load capacity of an assembled cable system also depends on end fittings, connections, installation and operating conditions. These values do not constitute a general safe load rating for every installation.

Typical applications

Black PVC coated steel wire rope is used for a variety of technical and general-purpose applications, including:

• Greenhouse construction: wire rope connections, guides and supporting structures.
• Cabinet construction: technical fastening and guiding arrangements.
• Garden and outdoor projects: fastening and cable guiding applications.
• Interior and decorative projects: installations where a black cable finish is preferred.
• General assembly: wire rope connections and fastening systems.

Benefits of the black PVC coating

• Protective plastic covering around the galvanised steel wire rope.
• Smooth outer surface that reduces direct contact with surrounding materials.
• UV-resistant coating for applications exposed to sunlight.
• Discreet black appearance for dark structures and installations.
• Supplied on a 100-metre reel for cutting into required lengths.

Please note: PVC coating does not provide complete corrosion protection. Moisture may reach the steel wires through damaged coating or exposed cable ends.

Frequently asked questions

Is this black wire rope 3 mm or 4 mm in diameter?

The galvanised steel wire rope core is 3 mm in diameter. Including the black PVC coating, the overall outside diameter is 4 mm.

Is the black PVC coating UV resistant?

Yes. The coating on this version is specified as UV resistant. Service life depends on exposure and operating conditions.

What does 6x7+PP construction mean?

The wire rope consists of six strands containing seven steel wires each, arranged around a polypropylene core.

What is the minimum breaking load?

The stated minimum breaking load is 1,509 kg and the stated working load is 301 kg. The load capacity of a complete installation also depends on the end fittings and mounting arrangement.

How much wire rope is supplied?

Each reel contains 100 metres of black PVC coated steel wire rope.
