Frequently Asked Questions about Safe-T-Cable

How do Safe-T-Cable tools differ from traditional safety wire tools?

Safe-T-Cable tools simplify installation by using pre-measured cable lengths, eliminating the need for twisting wires. This results in a faster, more uniform process compared to traditional safety wire pliers.

What are Safe-T-Cable tools used for?

Safe-T-Cable tools are designed to install Safe-T-Cable systems, which secure fasteners and prevent them from loosening in critical applications like aerospace and automotive industries.

What are the key components of a Safe-T-Cable system?

A Safe-T-Cable system includes a cable, ferrules and a termination tool. These work together to secure fasteners effectively, ensuring they remain tight under vibration and stress.

How do I choose the right Safe-T-Cable tool for my needs?

Select a tool based on the cable diameter and application requirements. Ensure it is compatible with the Safe-T-Cable system being used to achieve optimal results.

What materials are Safe-T-Cables made from?

Safe-T-Cables are made from 321 stainless steel or Iconel 600, offering excellent corrosion resistance and strength, making them suitable for demanding environments.

Can Safe-T-Cable tools be used in tight spaces?

Yes, many Safe-T-Cable tools are designed with compact or angled heads, allowing for easy use in confined or hard-to-reach areas.

How do I install Safe-T-Cable?

The cable should be fed through the fasteners in either a positive or neutral direction. After that, the free end of the cable should be inserted through the ferrule and then the cable needs threading through the nose of the Safe-T-Cable tool that you are using. Finally, the tool will apply tension to the cable, then just crimp the ferrule and cut any excess cable.

What diameters is Safe-T-Cable available in?

Safe-T-Cable is available in the following diameters - .022”.032”.040” and .062”.

What lengths is Safe-T-Cable available in?

Safe-T-Cable is available in lengths of 12”, 18”, 21” and 24”.

Why do some Safe-T-Cable's have elongated ferrules?

Elongated ferrules are ideal for use on fasteners that have minimal clearance between the safety wire hole (less than .100”) and the surface of the application, making them ideal for use in hard to reach locations due to their elongated profile. 

Can I reuse Safe-T-Cable and ferrules?

No, reuse is not allowed and new cable and ferrules should always be used for every application according to NASM33540.

How many bolts can be secured with one Safe-T-Cable assembly?

Safe-T-Cable should ideally only be used for two bolt patterns, although three bolts patterns are also allowed, according to AS567.
