End fittings are accessories designed to protect steel cables at points where loops or eyelets are formed. Their function is to prevent premature wear of the cable due to friction, crushing or direct contact with shackles, eyebolts or other metal elements, maintaining the shape of the eyelet and reducing damage to the support area.

At CHAVESBAO, we supply thimbles made of steel in accordance with the DIN 6899-A standard, suitable for fastening, lashing and tensioning applications where the cable is under load or subject to repetitive movements.

Cable protection in live systems

The cable clamp is placed inside the cable loop, distributing the load more evenly and reducing friction in the contact area. This design helps prevent localised deformation and preserves the cable cross-section in installations subject to continuous use.
It is commonly used in moorings, cable lines, enclosures, fastening systems and technical assemblies where cable reliability is a key factor.

How to choose the right cable guard

The choice of cable guard depends on the diameter of the cable and the type of application. It is essential to select a model that complies with DIN 6899-A and fits the cable correctly to ensure effective protection and stable support.
In outdoor installations or exposed environments, corrosion resistance is directly related to the material and type of finish used. Correct assembly, combined with cable ties or other suitable fasteners, ensures reliable system performance and reduces cable wear.
