5/16 inch 6×19 FC wire rope is a classification of cable often referred to as 6×25 construction. A general purpose preformed cable known for it’s superior flexibility & strength. This cable is more flexible around pulleys, drums & winches than a similar size wire center core. More abrasion resistant, but not as “flexible” as a 6×36 or 6×37 construction fiber core center.

Center fiber core strand is either a polypropylene or natural fiber rope which allows A-1 lubrication to store & permeate the outer cables. The drawback is less strength & internal crushing of fiber cores compared to a wire center cores.
