Published Cable and Individual Wire Breaking Strengths

Individual Wire Breaking Strength

Camesa also publishes the breaking strengths of the individual wires making up the both the inner and outer armor of the cable.  These breaking strengths are "average" breaking strengths of the individual wires.  Admittedly the average can vary between a minimum acceptable stress level, 267,000 psi (corresponding to 415 lbs. for the 1N32PP) and 300,000 psi (corresponding to 467 lbs. for the same 1M32PP). Nevertheless, the cable user who is trying to determine the tension at which a cable will pull out of a cablehead is better served with an average strength of wire rather than a guaranteed minimum strength. That is the reason that the breaking strength calculated from these average wire break values is greater than the minimum guaranteed cable breaking strength.
