Coated mechanical cable is a process of applying molten material to bare cable to provide "a jacket" around the cable. This protective layer surrounding the wire rope serves many functions, including protecting the cable from harmful environmental conditions.
The cable can be coated in a variety of materials including nylon, vinyl, and FEP (Teflon).
In this video, Craig provides tips that help you ensure your application serves its intended function along with maximizing the cable's lifespan.
