Overview
The KUPO SW-01 is a silver galvanized safety wire for secondary retention of standard entertainment lighting fixtures. Built with 3.2 mm 7 x 19 galvanized steel wire rope, a steel snap hook with eyelet, and an aluminum ferrule termination, it is a familiar workhorse safety cable for stage, studio, and venue inventories.
Why It Matters
This is the straightforward silver version many crews expect to see in a lighting kit. The 75 cm length gives useful reach around common yokes and pipe positions, while the 10 kg Working Load Limit (WLL) keeps the rating clear for properly matched fixtures.
Key Features
- 3.2 mm, 7 x 19 galvanized steel wire rope construction gives the safety cable the right balance of flexibility and strength for entertainment fixture retention.
- 10 kg Working Load Limit (WLL) supports secondary safety use when matched correctly to the installed equipment.
- 75 cm length gives crews enough reach around common yokes, pipe positions, and fixture hardware without excessive slack.
- aluminum ferrule termination and steel snap hook with eyelet provide a ready-to-use connection for typical lighting safety points.
- Steel wire rope conforms to EN 12385-4.
Applications
Use for secondary safety retention on compatible lighting fixtures, small effects equipment, venue lighting positions, and touring setups that use standard silver safety wires.
Compatibility
Match the SW-01 to equipment within its 10 kg WLL, attaching only to approved safety points and following the applicable venue, fixture, and production rules.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the SW-01 meant to lift equipment?
No. This safety wire is for secondary retention of static equipment only. It is not a hoist, sling, or lifting device.
How do I choose between this safety wire and a heavier model?
Start with the equipment weight, site rules, and the required Working Load Limit (WLL). This model is rated at 10 kg, so move to a higher rated safety wire when the fixture or accessory requires it.
Does the finish affect the basic safety function?
The silver galvanized finish is the standard visible finish. It does not replace the need to choose by WLL, inspect the cable, and attach it through approved safety points.
