SINGLE EYE
This is the most commonly used cable stocking. The stocking is a tubular woven covering. One end is open, and one end is closed with a single eye. It is fitted onto the end of a cable in order to pull it into place.
SINGLE EYE LACE UP
One end open, one end closed with a single eye. Much the same as the single eye, however the stocking is “split” so that it can be wrapped around the cable and then laced.
TWIN EYE
This tubular woven design allows the cable to pass clear through the stocking so it can be fitted any distance from the cable end. Both ends open with a double eye at one end. This “open” design allows the cable to pass through the stocking hence the cable can be pulled either at the end or at any point along the cable.
TWIN EYE LACE UP
Flat (lace-up) stocking with a double eye. The stocking is “split” so that it can be wrapped around the cable and then laced.
OPEN ENDED
Open both ends without eyes. Designed to join two ropes for installation purposes. Allows reasonably smooth join to pass over sheaves.
OFFSET EYE
This design allows the cable to pass clear through the stocking so it can be fitted any distance from the cable end. Its main use is to support electrical cables and hydraulic and other hoses in maritime, industrial and mining applications. This stocking can also be used for strain relief on trailing supply lines.
