Lexco Cable Manufacturing
Do you need to hold it down, hold it up, restrain it or release it? Lexco fabricates mechanical cable and bungee assemblies to do just these things.
--For an international leather goods manufacturer for use in retail shops, a vinyl-coated cable assembly to hold down purses
--For Alaska fishermen to use as a boat anchor, a bridle cable assembly.
--For private homeowners for deck railings, archi

Choosing the wrong wire rope can lead to premature failure, safety risks, and costly downtime. Not all wire ropes are built the same, even when they look similar. Construction, materials, coatings, and core design all impact how a cable performs under load, in motion, and in harsh environments.
So how do you choose the right one? In our latest blog, we break it down into four key factors:
- Strength for your load requirements
- Flexibility for movement and bending cycles
- Abrasion resistance for wear-heavy environments
- Corrosion resistance for long-term durability
If you’re working in construction, marine, aerospace, or OEM manufacturing, getting this balance right is critical to performance and safety.

In honor of Women’s History Month, we want to recognize the women who contribute to the strength and success of our industry. Here at Lexco, women play a vital role in advancing innovation, maintaining quality standards, and supporting customers. As we head into a new season of projects, we want to say thank you to the women whose work continues to strengthen our manufacturing community.
Not all wire ropes with the same diameter have the same load capacity.
Construction, outer strands, material selection, and terminations all impact wire rope breaking strength and long-term performance. Stainless steel and galvanized wire offer different corrosion resistance and tensile properties, which directly affect load ratings over time.
Understanding wire rope load ratings helps you select the right steel cable for your specific application and avoid premature failure.
