Product Description
The AN100-5 is a rope thimble designed to form and protect eye splices in aircraft wire rope. Sized for 5/32 inch cable per AN100 specifications, this metal thimble maintains loop shape and reduces wear at cable terminations. Commonly used in control cable and lanyard applications where secure, protected connections are critical.
Installation involves forming the cable around the thimble and securing with an approved compression sleeve. The thimble's rigid structure prevents cable deformation and extends service life in high-vibration aircraft environments.
