Why Use a Wire Rope Thimble?

Wire rope thimbles are essential in reducing stress and preserving the structure of cable eyelets. Without a thimble, loops are prone to flattening, kinking, or breaking under tension. This 13mm thimble ensures your cable terminations stay safe, secure, and long-lasting—even in tough towing or marine conditions.
