Wire Rope Sleeves
Steel Cable Stops Buttons Sleeves
Stainless steel cable stops, also known as steel cable stop buttons or round ferrules, are precision-machined components used to secure the end of a wire rope in splicing applications. They prevent slippage and maintain the integrity of the assembly under load. Available in sizes from 1/8 inch to 1 1/4 inch, they are made from 304 or 316 stainless steel and are designed for use in marine, industrial, construction, and outdoor environments where corrosion resistance and high strength are required.

How It Compares With The Alternatives
An honest read on where this pattern wins and where another one would serve you better.
| Alternative | Honest Trade Off |
|---|---|
| Copper or aluminum ferrules | Stainless steel offers superior corrosion resistance and strength, especially in marine and outdoor use, while copper and aluminum degrade faster under salt and moisture |
| Welded or forged end fittings | Machined and extruded buttons are lighter and easier to install with standard crimping tools, though forged fittings may offer higher strength in extreme load cases |
| Swaged sleeves with no internal cavity | Round ferrules provide a consistent internal diameter for precise fit and are easier to crimp uniformly across a range of wire rope sizes |
| Non-metallic cable stops | Stainless steel withstands higher temperatures and mechanical wear, while non-metallic options are lighter but degrade faster under UV and abrasion |
Use Guide
How To Use And Inspect Steel Cable Stops Buttons Sleeves
- Select the correct size based on the wire rope diameter to ensure a snug fit
- Use a proper crimping tool rated for the material and size to avoid under- or over-crimping
- Ensure the wire rope end is fully inserted into the ferrule before crimping
- Inspect the crimped joint for uniform compression and no gaps or bulges
- Do not reuse a crimped ferrule—always use a new one for each splicing operation
- Retire the stop if the crimp shows signs of deformation or the wire rope begins to slip
