Steel cable 5 mm x 70 cm Avenger — security link for gear and stands

Avenger steel cable 5 mm × 70 cm is a braided steel safety link designed to secure stands, lighting fixtures and various studio equipment. Its compact length and robust construction make it suitable as a secondary safety tether to prevent accidental falls of mounted gear during installations, live events, photo shoots and film productions.

Advantages

The cable's braided steel construction provides high tensile strength and resistance to abrasion, offering dependable mechanical security for attached equipment. Its 5 mm diameter balances flexibility with load-bearing capacity, allowing easy routing around stands and through attachment points while maintaining durability. The 70 cm length is long enough for most common safety applications without excess slack, and the compact design supports neat, unobtrusive installation.

Suitable for

• Securing lighting fixtures to stands and trusses
• Secondary safety tether for studio and stage equipment
• Preventing accidental drops of cameras, monitors and accessories
• Use in theater, live events, photo and film production environments

Key specifications

• Material: braided steel cable for enhanced abrasion resistance
• Diameter: 5 mm providing a balance of flexibility and strength
• Length: 70 cm suitable for common tethering and safety loops
• Finish: corrosion-resistant coating to extend service life in typical indoor and controlled environments
• Compatibility: designed for attachment to stands, clamps and dedicated safety points

How to use

Loop the cable around the structural element of the stand or truss and secure it to the designated safety point on the lighting fixture or accessory. Use an appropriate connector (carabiner, quick link or clamp) rated for the intended load to join the cable ends. Ensure the cable is routed to avoid sharp edges and does not interfere with moving parts or cables. After installation, inspect the attachment and tension so the cable functions as a secondary restraint without bearing the primary load.

Usage recommendations

Regularly inspect the braided steel cable for signs of wear, corrosion or fraying before each use. Replace the cable if any damage is found. Do not use the cable as the primary support for heavy loads; always rely on primary mounting hardware rated for the equipment's weight and use the cable solely as a safety tether. Select connectors and attachment points that match the working load limits appropriate for your application.
