Product description
Contents and naming: The kit includes 10 M5 stainless steel wire rope cable clips and 10 M5 stainless steel thimbles. It’s sold as a combined clip-and-thimble ferrule set intended for use with 3/16 inch (M5) wire rope.
Materials and dimensions: All components are made from stainless steel to resist rust and surface wear. The full kit weighs approximately 295 g (10.41 oz). Pack dimensions measure about 90 x 85 x 35 mm (3.54 x 3.35 x 1.38 inches).
Design details: The cable clip clamps feature an internal anti-slip groove along the inner wall that increases friction on the wire and helps prevent slippage under tension. Thimbles are U-shaped and sized to cradle 3/16" wire rope, protecting the cable bend from abrasion and deformation.
How to use: To form a loop, seat the rope into the U-shaped thimble, then place the tail into the U-bolt of the clip and secure the saddle with the nuts to clamp the two runs together. Alternatively, use a clip to join two wire ends by positioning the wires in the U-bolt and tightening the saddle for a firm connection. Follow standard wire-rope clamping practices for spacing and torque when making load-bearing terminations.
Applications and notes: Suitable for tent guy lines, clotheslines, string lights, fence wire, balcony and patio cable runs, and other light to medium-duty rigging tasks. The set is practical for small installations and repairs and provides enough hardware for multiple terminations.

VerdictThis 10-clip and 10-thimble M5 set offers corrosion-resistant hardware and practical features like anti-slip grooves. It’s a reliable, no-frills option for forming secure wire rope loops in outdoor and light industrial uses. Sturdy feel and correct sizing make installation straightforward, and the kit supplies enough pieces for several small projects or repairs.

Solid clamps and thimbles
Good quality steel parts. I used them to install tensioned wire on my patio and for several runs of fence on our property. They feel well made and held up without issue.

Hard to find locally
Couldn’t source these in my area; they arrived and worked exactly as described.

Sturdy and rust resistant
These clamps are hefty enough for their purpose, fit the rope size, and being stainless they won’t corrode. Satisfied with the purchase.
