Hilink introduces a complete stainless steel cable railing system — a one-stop solution for residential decks, commercial stairs, and architectural facades. The system uses tool-free swageless terminals, adjustable turnbuckles, and 1×19 stainless cable. Install in minutes, no swaging tool needed. Pre-engineered for safety compliance on residential and commercial guardrails.
System Components
- Swageless Terminal (Push-Pull Lock) — tool-free cable termination, hand-tighten to install. Field-replaceable.
- Swageless Terminal (Pull-Lock) — for permanent terminations, smooth dome profile.
- Adjustable Turnbuckle — fine-tunes cable tension after installation. Jaw or fitting end.
- Stainless Cable — 1×19 strand, AISI 316, diameter 3 mm to 8 mm, mill coils or pre-cut lengths.
- End Caps, Washers, Posts — completes the railing assembly.
Why Swageless?
Traditional cable railings require a hydraulic swager to crimp the terminals onto the cable. Swageless terminals use a wedge or collet mechanism that grips the cable as tension is applied — no special tool, no swager rental, no power source on site. The result is a clean installation that any contractor or DIY homeowner can complete in an afternoon.
