Stainless Steel Cable Mesh
Stainless Steel Cable Mesh is a premium, high-performance architectural mesh solution engineered for durability, flexibility, and long-term aesthetics. Manufactured from robust, high-grade DIN 1.4401 / AISI 316 stainless steel cables using specialized processes, it forms a uniquely stressable yet flexible structure ideal for demanding two- or three-dimensional applications. X-TEND maintains its precise shape indefinitely, requires minimal maintenance, and offers decades of reliable service. Available in two primary construction types (Ferrule and Inter-Woven), it caters to diverse needs from zoo enclosures and safety barriers to decorative facades and green walls.
Core Material & Construction
-
Material: Manufactured from high-quality, corrosion-resistant stainless steel wire rope. Primary material grades include AISI 304, AISI 316, and AISI 316L to suit different environmental demands.
-
Strand Structure: Wire rope strand structure is selected based on diameter:
-
Diameter < 2.5mm: Typically 7x7 strand construction.
-
Diameter >= 2.5mm: Typically 7x19 strand construction.
-
-
Clamping/Ferrules: Cables are precision-swaged using:
-
Type CX: Tinned Copper Ferrules
-
Type CXE/CXS: Stainless Steel Ferrules
(Aluminum, copper, or other ferrule materials available upon request).
-
-
Surface Finishes: Standard stainless steel finish. Optional surface treatments (e.g., oxidation, spraying) available to meet specific customer requirements.
Product Types & Characteristics
Stainless Steel Cable Mesh is produced using two distinct manufacturing crafts, each offering unique benefits:
-
Ferrule Type Cable Mesh:
- Description: Cables are connected at intersections using pressed stainless steel sleeves (ferrules) in a specialized process. This creates a classic, versatile, and economical mesh, particularly effective with smaller rope diameters.
-
Characteristics: Highly stressable, flexible, excellent shape retention. Offers superior aesthetic appeal and decorative potential. More rigid structure than inter-woven type. Directional (installable vertically or horizontally - requires confirmation during ordering).
-
Mesh Geometry: Standard diamond mesh opening features a 60° top angle. Key production parameters are cable diameter, mesh opening (long-way & short-way dimensions), and panel width/length.
-
Edge Seals: Available in 4 basic standard types (details to be specified).

Ideal For: Architectural facades, balustrade infill, decorative screens, protective barriers, design-focused projects where aesthetics and cost-efficiency are paramount.
-
Inter-Woven Type Cable Mesh:
-
Description: Cables are intricately woven together without ferrules at each intersection, creating a continuous knotless net.
-
Characteristics: Lighter weight, higher flexibility, and significantly greater transparency compared to ferrule type mesh. Exceptional adaptability for complex shapes.
-
Mesh Geometry: Standard diamond mesh opening features a 90° top angle. Key production parameters are cable diameter, mesh size (center-to-center distance), and panel width/length.
-
-
Ideal For: Zoo enclosures & aviaries, large animal cages, fall protection netting, safety barriers, green walls, applications demanding high transparency and flexibility.
Standard Mesh Sizing (Guide)
