Armstrong Cables
This type of cable is made of special strength wires primarily for aircraft controls and miscellaneous uses in the aircraft industry. Commercial grade aircraft cable cannot be used for aircraft controls. However, it is used in many general-purpose applications such as slings, winch line, non-aircraft control cables and more.
