steel cable
Suspension bridge support
Steel cable is rope made of twisted steel wires, used where high strength and durability are required.
Steel cables support suspension bridges, operate elevators, and rig heavy equipment.
The construction—multiple strands wound around a core—provides flexibility despite the rigidity of steel itself: The crane's steel cable snapped under the load.
