Module 6. Materials & hardware

Cable stops are manufactured from

  • stainless steel.
  • copper.
  • magnesium alloy.

Explanation

Cable end stops (swaged ferrules) are made of a soft, malleable metal such as copper so they deform tightly around the cable when swaged without cutting the wires. A hard material like stainless steel or a brittle magnesium alloy would not grip reliably or could damage the cable.
