  1. Terminals may require additional components -- i.e., washers, ferrules, threaded eyes, etc. -- not shown in the photos.  These additional components will automatically appear in the final bill of material. 
  2. Tensioning is required at only one post -- fixed terminals are recommended for use on post two.  However, particularly in the case of non-concealed terminals, you may request to use a matching tensioning terminal at the end post.  Contact Wagner to make this manual change in your bill of material.
  3. If you opt not to have your cable pre-swaged, Wagner will build into your price a charge for renting the necessary tools required for you to do your own cutting and swaging on site. 
  4. Please familiarize yourself with our notes and disclaimers

How many horizontal cable lines do you need?

Horizontal Cable Lines

Cable Quantity: Measure the vertical infill opening, and -- if you need to meet the 4" sphere rule -- divide by 3.125 and round up to the nearest whole number. 

Check your local building codes to determine your guard height and infill requirements. Generally, guards require a 42" height in commercial applications and 36" height in residential applications.

Cable Size

1/8"

3/16"
Push-Lock and Pull-Lock fittings currently unavailable for 3/16" Cable
Cable is Type 316 Stainless Steel, 1x19 construction. Select cable diameter based on your budget, design, or strength requirements.

Would you like your cable cut and pre-swaged?

Yes

No

Yes if you know your final dimensions and would like Wagner to pre-swage your cables.

No if you are unsure of your your final dimensions or would like to swage your own fittings at the job site. Cable will be sent on a spool and rental swaging equipment will be included in your quote along with installation instructions.

Would you like a Drill Guide?

Yes

No
For wood applications using concealed terminals, straight and plumb through holes are required at all posts. The use of an optional drill guide will assist with this process.

Do you want dual tensioning?

Yes

No
Selecting yes will replace the fixed terminal with the tensioning terminal selected for use at post one.

How many Cable Braces will you need?

Cable Braces

In order to meet codes regarding the 4" sphere rule, cable must be spaced 3.125" on center, tensioned to 400 pounds, and supported every 42". If your post spacing is greater than 42", you will need to add cable braces to your design.

To determine the quantity of cable braces needed, start by measuring the space between your intermediate posts (inches), divide by 42, and round up to the nearest whole inch. Each cable brace comes with a top and bottom plate for securing the brace to the deck and the underside of the top rail.

Disclaimers and Notes:
  • Please review The Wagner Companies catalog or our online installation instructions before beginning your cable rail configuration session. 
  • This Cable Railing configurator is designed to provide you with a quick and easy price for just one single run of cable. You may only configure one straight, level run at a time. For multiple level cable runs that turn corners, just configure each individual straight run segment individually. 
  • This product configurator is intended to provide terminals, cable and all accompanying parts required for a complete cable rail infill for an existing wood rail frame.  No posts or top rail are providedPlease see our online wood post installation guide for more information on post and top rail requirements. Based on your selections, Wagner will supply cables, cable bracing and terminal fittings only along with our standard installation guide and any required rental swaging equipment   Visit www.wagnercompanies.com to view the wide variety of other terminal, post and top rail options.
  • Building codes will vary from location to location. Confirm the requirements of your local jurisdiction prior to specifying. In particular, confirm infill opening limitations and height and load requirements.
  • 4" Sphere Rule: Building codes require that guardrails have no opening that is large enough to allow the passage of a 4" sphere. To meet this 4" sphere rule, cable spacing must not exceed 3-1/8".
  • Swaging is a mechanical process used to permanently attach components to stainless steel cable. Wagner's Ultra-Tec components require power tools for this operation -- the use of hand swaging tools in not acceptable.
  • All cable lengths shown in the bill of material are approximate, depending upon which terminal you select, and how you plan to install the cables. This is particularly important for fixed terminals which may require field swaging, or for cable which you choose to be factory swaged to length.  If you choose pre-cutting and swaging, our engineering staff will specify the exact measurements needed for our factory to supply a cable that matches your installation.
  • For structural integrity of the system, intermediate posts are generally spaced every 4 to 5 feet. However, to meet the 4" Sphere Rule, cable must be supported every 42", spaced 3-1/8" on-center, and tensioned to 400 pounds. Cable bracing will be supplied as specified above.  Please be sure to fill out the cable rail specification form and forward it to us when you place your order
