Who Needs This Product

This cable is for crews rigging Super Anchor engineered horizontal lifelines: 120 ft typical runs on CRA or CRO anchors with pass-thru intermediates every 20 to 30 ft. The stainless 1055-SX is for coastal, chemical, and wash-down environments, and wherever the anchors and rigging are stainless. Wear gloves when handling wire rope and wrap or tape cut ends; cut wires cause puncture and laceration injuries per the rigging manual warning.

⚠

Wire rope safety and engineering. Cut ends of wire rope cause puncture and laceration injuries; wear gloves and wrap cut ends with tape. HLL runs must be designed by a qualified or competent person with anchors, absorber, and terminations per the 02-2021 rigging manual. Never exceed 130 ft engineered run length, and replace the cable after any fall event.

Compliance Standards

ANSI Z359.1-07 / OSHA 1926.502

HLL cable specified by the 02-2021 CRA rigging manual complies as a system component.

7×19 Aircraft Cable Construction

133-wire construction balances strength with the flexibility field swaging requires.

Engineered System Basis

Runs typically 120 ft, 130 ft maximum with third-party engineering, anchors 20 to 30 ft on center.

Rigging Kit Matched

Thimbles and clamps for both terminations come in the 1050/1051 series rigging kits.

Installation Overview

Ordering and terminating per the 02-2021 manual:

1. Measure the run end anchor to end anchor and add termination allowance: approximately 40 inches of A-end component length plus a 10 inch field swage dead side.
2. Order the footage cut to length; both terminations build on site per the rigging manual.
3. Feed the cable through every pass-thru top and install the 4 No. 5010-SM O-rings before clamping.
4. Build the field swage termination: eye thimble, 3 cable clamps with saddles on the live side, 10 inch dead side, clamps at 2.0 and 4.0 inch centers.
5. Torque clamp nuts to 45 ft-lb with a calibrated wrench, alternating sides evenly, and wrap the cut end with exterior tape or shrink tube.
6. Tension through the turnbuckle until the spring absorber gauge deploys fully, then re-verify clamp torque.

Inspection and Retirement

Inspect before installation and each use, with documented annual inspections. Remove the anchor from service when any of the following apply:

• Broken wires, kinks, birdcaging, or crushed sections anywhere along the run.
• Corrosion beyond surface staining (galvanized) or any pitting (stainless).
• Field swage clamps missing, loose, or below 45 ft-lb torque.
• The run was subjected to a fall; replace the cable and inspect all rigging.
• Cut ends unwrapped or fraying past the clamps.

Tag anchors removed from service to prevent further use until inspected by a qualified or competent person.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I order the right length?Measure end anchor to end anchor, then add the termination allowance: roughly 40 inches of A-end components (turnbuckle, absorber, couplers) plus a 10 inch field swage dead side. Enter the total feet as the quantity; it ships as one continuous length. The specifications listed on this page outline the build details you need for your application.How are the ends terminated?On site, per the 02-2021 rigging manual: a No. 1057-S eye thimble with 3 cable clamps per termination, saddles on the live side, 10 inch dead side, torqued to 45 ft-lb. The rigging kits include the thimbles and clamps for both ends. Verify that the mounting surface is sound and that every fastener is fully seated before the anchor is put into service.Galvanized or stainless?Galvanized 1055-X (14,000 lb) is the standard for most exterior work. Stainless 1055-SX (12,000 lb) is for coastal, chemical, and wash-down sites, matched with the 1051 series stainless rigging kits and stainless clamps. See the Technical Specifications on this page for the exact materials, dimensions, and ratings.What else does a complete lifeline need?End anchors with loop tops, pass-thru intermediates every 20 to 30 ft, a rigging kit (turnbuckle, spring energy absorber, couplers, thimbles, clamps), 5010-SM O-rings for worker travel, and a layout by a qualified or competent person. Pair it only with connectors and equipment that are approved for use together so the complete system performs as designed.How many clamps per termination?Three, saddles on the live side, spaced at 2.0 and 4.0 inch centers with a 10 inch dead side, torqued to 45 ft-lb each with a calibrated wrench in two passes. A correct installation is critical, so confirm the setup matches the manufacturer instructions before any worker ties off.Can workers travel past the intermediate anchors?Yes, with No. 5010-SM O-rings installed on the cable before clamping; the rings pass through the 1091 pass-thru tops so workers move the full run without unclipping. Follow the recommended fastener pattern and placement so the connection is secure, and re-check the installation before you rely on it for fall arrest.When does the cable get replaced?After any fall event, and whenever inspection finds broken wires, kinks, birdcaging, crushed sections, or corrosion beyond surface staining. Inspect before each use along the full run. Inspect it before every use, and retire it right away if you find corrosion, cracks, or bent components.
