SOCKETS SOCKETS

Applications

Sockets are used as a connection to attach steel wire
rope to a fixed point. This may be an anchoring system

for tubes or pipes, anchor wires for dredging materials,

anchor cables for oil platforms, fastening points for
towing cables or for fastening cables in constructions such
as bridges, roofs etc. Sockets are designed for in-line use only.

Sockets are the strongest steel wire rope end fittings available.

If they are assembled in the proper way they meet or exceed the
breaking strength of the steel wire rope.
