Product Overview
What the S2350 Is
The S2350 is a rope thimble produced by Honke Hardware in Longyan City, Fujian Province, China. It is made in Stainless steel, carbon steel and finished by polishing, zinc-plated etc. Sizes are 3mm-12mm.
It belongs to the wire rope clips and thimbles range, which covers 4 items. A clip and a thimble together form the standard field made eye in a wire rope. The thimble protects the rope from crushing in the eye and the clips hold the tail. Honke makes both in stainless steel and carbon steel.
Design is handled as OEM & ODM work, so dimensions, colour and marking can be set against your drawing or your existing sample rather than taken from a fixed list.
Key Benefits
Why Buyers Specify This Item
A finish that cannot flake
Stainless parts are polished rather than coated, so a scratch does not expose a different metal underneath.
Consistent appearance across the range
Shackles, plates, hooks and clips leave the same plant with the same finish, which matters when they sit together on a boat or a balustrade.
Samples before you commit
Free samples available with freight prepaid by the buyer. Sample approval sets the reference for the production run.

Use Guide
Fitting and Caring for the S2350
- Confirm the grade before you order. A polished part gives no visual clue to its material, so put Stainless steel, carbon steel on the purchase order line rather than only in the email thread.
- Match the size to the mating part. Sizes here are 3mm-12mm, so measure the rope, chain, webbing or thread the item has to work with before you specify.
- Keep the material family consistent. Where this item sits in a permanently wet joint with another metal, use the same family throughout to avoid galvanic reaction.
- Load it in the direction it was designed for. Connecting hardware loses capacity sharply when pulled off axis. Where load direction varies, choose a body shape made for it.
- Rinse and operate moving parts. Gates, swivels and threads seize when salt is left to dry in them. Fresh water and regular operation is most of the maintenance.
- Replace rather than repair. A gate that no longer springs shut or a thread that will not seat is retired, not adjusted.
