While it offers almost the same mechanical performance as stainless steel knotted rope mesh, the ferrule system gives it a clean, contemporary look, stable panel geometry, and makes installation easier on straight, curved, or irregular structures.
Types of Ferrules for Stainless Steel Rope Mesh
Stainless steel oval ferrules
Stainless steel oval ferrules are the most common type, swaged onto two overlapping cables to create strong, neat diamond-shaped mesh openings that match the look and corrosion resistance of the rope.
End ferrules (terminal ferrules)
End ferrules are pressed on the free ends of the cables to form clean terminations or loops, improving safety at the edges and allowing easy connection to frames or tensioning hardware.
Threaded ferrules
Threaded ferrules have internal or external threads so the cable can be directly connected to turnbuckles, bolts or other fittings, making alignment and tension adjustment more precise and convenient.
Cross ferrules and clamps
Cross ferrules or X-shaped clamps connect intersecting cables at right angles, helping to build rigid cable grids or reinforce specific areas of the mesh where additional support is required.
Stop ferrules
Stop ferrules are small end sleeves pressed on a single cable to act as a mechanical stop, preventing the cable from slipping through holes, slots or other fittings in the support structure.
