At 3\/8\" (9.5 mm) diameter and 75' (22.9 m) length, it fits many 9,500–13,500 lb winches and provides a safe working load when used within rated limits. The cable is laid with 6 outer strands wrapped around one core wire for balanced flexibility and strength, and the assembly finishes with a powder-coated, self-locking swivel hook that rotates 360° to reduce twisting during pulls.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow strong is this winch cable and what loads can it handle?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe cable has a rated breaking strength of 15,200 lbs (67.6 kN) and a recommended safe working load of up to 5,033 lbs (22.4 kN) based on typical safety factors.
