Price Worksheet for the following Cable Assembly:Revised 03/25/08

                          3/16" Stainless Cable for 1x19 or 7x7 configuration

If printing to use as a worksheet or to send to us, please circle the item(s) you will be using and the type of cable.

Example: A normal railing might consist of 8 cables of CA1060 in a 36" high system. Pick 8 cables say at 50 ft. and if using 1/8" cable multiply 8  X $72.94 to get a subtotal or $583.52 +S&H. Accessories can be added as needed. 

The prices above include the assembly "CA 1060 and CA1070 for both 1/8" and 3/16" cable which is near the middle of the group photo note separate photo at top of page (click on photo to go to a larger photo and use "Back" button to return. Icons should appear on the enlarged photo to enlarge it even more). "click here for group photo" These assemblies are normally used in an angled application or in an area where you have to Face mount the fittings because you can't drill through the end posts such as a large column, highly exposed end posts, etc. We see a lot of this on stairs or projects where there are a lot of existing columns. We have not included attaching hardware in these base prices because we have no idea where there are going. The hardware is available and can be packaged with the cable assemblies. Contact us for pricing..

The "Toggle Jaw" assembly is most often used on a steel application where there are welded bars or tabs to attach the end fittings and 1/4" pin.

You would want to be careful with these assemblies on longer runs of cable. Keep in mind that all the adjustment is on one end and that could cause problems with combined friction as you might go through posts and around arcs, corners, etc. The tension on the bay way down at the far end will be less depending on combined friction of all the posts the able goes through and rubs on. The same problem exists with the CA1020 and CA1030 where we flagged the price sheet at the 50 ft. length to warn you of the issue.

We almost always use at least an extra ft. if not two of cable when we install the same system. This allows something to hang onto when first hand tightening the cable to make sure everything is OK prior to cutting the cable. We can do finished length assemblies if you wish, but would need some very accurate measurements and you would be responsible for the length given us. There always seems to some variable on site that caused length problems and that is why we prefer to sell in this manner to allow you to judge and cut to length each cable in the field. We strongly feel that it prevents a lot of errors and lost time on site.. The 5 ft. increments are a guideline for your pricing needs. We can cut to your specs. if needed and adjust the price accordingly. Cable is pretty inexpensive, the real cost is in the fittings. The graph shown on the CA1010 page is relative to these assemblies.

We are just getting pricing up on the net and you can consider this format to be in draft form. Trying to include drawings or photos to help explain the advantage of making your runs as long as possible before stopping and starting again.

There is a large price drop per linear ft. as the lengths of the assemblies get longer since the same fittings are used whether the cable is 5 ft. or 70 ft. The graph shown on CA1010shows that clearly. It also shows that once the 40 ft. range is approached the cost of cable is less than or comparable with glass infill panels which your customers might be surprised at.
