wire rope
Braided metal cable
Wire rope is rope made from twisted metal strands rather than fiber, used where strength and durability matter most—cables for suspension bridges, elevator hoists, crane rigging, ship moorings.
The strands spiral around a core in configurations that balance flexibility with tensile strength.
The wire rope on the winch had started to fray.
