Black Oxide Cable

We provide type 316 stainless steel cable and termination hardware for our customers unless they ask for a different product. In the recent two years, we have provided Black Oxide Cable for different cable rail projects. This requires having a Black Oxide finish applied to the cable and the related termination hardware. This can be done on stainless steel cable, galvanized cable, and the stainless steel termination hardware.
