What Is 7 Wire Strand?

Seven wire strand — or messenger strand — is a steel wire strand that is designed for efficient power transmission. It consists of seven galvanized wires twisted together to form a single, high-strength steel cable that has one center wire and six outer wires.

Bekaert's high-strength 7 wire strands come in various diameters, but they are always flexible and easy to handle.

The Benefits of 7 Wire Strand

In addition to our product's strength and durability, there are several benefits of using Bekaert 7 wire strands for custom steel wire profiles, including:

  • Corrosion-resistance: Bekaert 7 wire galvanized strands make them highly corrosion-resistant. These strands withstand the harshest weather conditions and stand the test of time.
  • Flexibility and versatility: Seven wire strand is lightweight and has a high tensile strength, making it useful for various high-ampacity applications, including high-voltage overhead power lines.
  • Cost-effectiveness: Our products are resistant to breakage or premature failure and their associated costs, making them more cost-effective than non-galvanized alternatives in the long term.

7 Wire Strand Applications

Because 7 wire strands have high tensile strengths and are corrosion-resistant, they suit several applications across various industries, including the energy, utility and telecommunication industries. 

For example, companies have used Bekaert 7 wire strands for the following applications:

  • Overhead power lines
  • Transmission towers
  • Utility poles
  • Concrete structures
  • Cable-stayed bridges
