steel cables
Industrial suspension lines
Steel cables are strong, flexible ropes made of multiple steel wires twisted together.
They're used where high tensile strength and durability matter: suspension bridges, elevators, cranes, ski lifts.
The steel cables groaned under the weight of the load.
A single cable may contain dozens or hundreds of individual wires wound in helical patterns.
