CMI Cable Gage For Ziplines

Ensuring the safety of zipline users is paramount, and the CMI Cable Gage is an essential tool for maintaining equipment integrity. This precision device is specifically designed to measure cable wear accurately, providing peace of mind for both operators and participants. The Outdoor Warehouse understands the importance of reliable gear, and this cable gage exemplifies quality and dependability.

The CMI Cable Gage is meticulously sized to accommodate the most common cable dimensions: 1/2", 3/8", and 1/4". Its user-friendly design makes cable inspection straightforward and efficient. A key feature is the convenient hole on one end, allowing for easy attachment to a harness via a small accessory cord, keeping the gage readily accessible during inspections. The bright red anodized finish enhances visibility, preventing loss and ensuring quick identification in various environments.

This cable gage operates on a simple yet effective principle: new cables will not fit into the precisely machined grooves. As a cable undergoes wear and tear, reducing its diameter by just 5%, it will begin to slip into the groove of the gage. This clear indication signals that the cable requires immediate replacement, preventing potential hazards and maintaining optimal performance.
