Cable Railing 101

Selecting Cable Fittings

Cable railing is formed using multiple runs of cable and end fittings. End fittings are distinguished by mounting substrate, mounting type, fitting function, swage type and application.

  • Start by selecting fittings by mounting substrate to work with your new or existing metal, wood or concrete framework
  • End fittings are available by mounting type with through-post and surface mount options to meet design preferences and construction requirements
  • Each run of cable requires a tensioning and non-tensioning fitting function
  • Select fittings by swage type for swageless options that install by hand or non-swageless options that requires swaging equipment
  • Further, consider the fitting application to suit level and stair requirements

Planning Your Project

When planning for cable railing, start with the most visible side of the railing framework which will likely be the longest run. To achieve maximum views with no visible hardware, select a through-post fitting. Note that access to the back of the end post is required to secure these fittings. Alternatively, if exposed hardware for a nautical-style railing is preferred, select a surface mount fitting that secures to the inside of the post.

For frameworks with a single corner post, use a through-post and a surface mount fitting to achieve a 90˚ corner on the same plane to create the look of a continuous cable. If only through-post fittings are used the runs need to be offset and may appear unbalanced.

Guidelines

  • A top rail is always necessary for structural integrity when building a railing with cable infill
  • A complete railing will include 11 – 14 rows of cable depending on post height, framework construction and cable spacing
  • A three-inch spacing between rows is recommended to comply with code requirements
  • Cable should be supported by a post, mid-post or cable brace no less than every 48 inches along a run to keep consistent cable spacing and prevent sagging
