3/16" 1x19 Stainless Steel Strand Cable - 4270 lbs Breaking Strength

1x19 Stainless Steel Cable for Cable Railing – 1/8" and 3/16"

Our unbranded 1x19 stainless steel cable is ideal for modern, low-maintenance cable railing systems. Designed with a smooth, polished profile and minimal stretch, this cable is compatible with all railing systems that specify 1x19 construction—including both surface mount and through-post designs.

Perfect for Decks, Stairs, and Balconies

1x19 cable is the preferred construction for cable railing because it provides a clean, streamlined appearance with minimal elongation under tension. It offers a strong, inflexible structure that resists bending and maintains straight lines—perfect for horizontal runs on decks, stairs, and balconies. The polished finish enhances the aesthetics of any residential or commercial space, whether used indoors or outdoors.

Offered in Marine-Grade Type 316 Stainless Steel

We offer two diameters—1/8" and 3/16"—both made from Type 316 stainless steel for superior corrosion resistance in coastal or humid environments. Type 316 is often specified over 302/304 grades for its enhanced protection against rust and pitting, especially in marine or salt-air applications.
