1055-X Galvanized 3/8 Inch HLL Cable by the Foot
The Super Anchor 1055-X is the HLL wire rope the CRA lifeline system is engineered around: 3/8 inch 7x19 galvanized cable with a 14,000 lb minimum tensile strength, sold by the foot and cut to your run length. Enter your footage as the quantity and one continuous length ships.
Cable ships cut to length as one continuous piece. Terminations build on site with eye thimbles and cable clamps per the 02-2021 rigging manual, or ask about factory swaged assemblies when ordering a complete system. Pairs with the 1050 series galvanized rigging kits.
Who Needs This Product
This cable is for crews rigging Super Anchor engineered horizontal lifelines: 120 ft typical runs on CRA or CRO anchors with pass-thru intermediates every 20 to 30 ft. The galvanized 1055-X is the standard choice for typical exterior service. Wear gloves when handling wire rope and wrap or tape cut ends; cut wires cause puncture and laceration injuries per the rigging manual warning.

Wire rope safety and engineering. Cut ends of wire rope cause puncture and laceration injuries; wear gloves and wrap cut ends with tape. HLL runs must be designed by a qualified or competent person with anchors, absorber, and terminations per the 02-2021 rigging manual. Never exceed 130 ft engineered run length, and replace the cable after any fall event.
Compliance Standards
ANSI Z359.1-07 / OSHA 1926.502
HLL cable specified by the 02-2021 CRA rigging manual complies as a system component.
7x19 Aircraft Cable Construction
133-wire construction balances strength with the flexibility field swaging requires.
Engineered System Basis
Runs typically 120 ft, 130 ft maximum with third-party engineering, anchors 20 to 30 ft on center.
Rigging Kit Matched
Thimbles and clamps for both terminations come in the 1050/1051 series rigging kits.
Typical Applications
Installation Overview
Ordering and terminating per the 02-2021 manual:
- Measure the run end anchor to end anchor and add termination allowance: approximately 40 inches of A-end component length plus a 10 inch field swage dead side.
- Order the footage cut to length; both terminations build on site per the rigging manual.
- Feed the cable through every pass-thru top and install the 4 No. 5010-SM O-rings before clamping.
- Build the field swage termination: eye thimble, 3 cable clamps with saddles on the live side, 10 inch dead side, clamps at 2.0 and 4.0 inch centers.
- Torque clamp nuts to 45 ft-lb with a calibrated wrench, alternating sides evenly, and wrap the cut end with exterior tape or shrink tube.
- Tension through the turnbuckle until the spring absorber gauge deploys fully, then re-verify clamp torque.
Inspection and Retirement
Inspect before installation and each use, with documented annual inspections. Remove the anchor from service when any of the following apply:
- Broken wires, kinks, birdcaging, or crushed sections anywhere along the run.
- Corrosion beyond surface staining (galvanized) or any pitting (stainless).
- Field swage clamps missing, loose, or below 45 ft-lb torque.
- The run was subjected to a fall; replace the cable and inspect all rigging.
- Cut ends unwrapped or fraying past the clamps.
Tag anchors removed from service to prevent further use until inspected by a qualified or competent person.
