To ensure a permanent and high-load capacity bond, these terminals require a hydraulic crimping tool (swager) for installation. Versatile Application Scenarios Ideal for a wide range of projects, including: Home deck and balcony guardrails Indoor and outdoor stair railings Garden fencing and boundary markers Marine and dockside balustrades Note: Proper installation requires a hydraulic swaging tool to secure the cable to the terminal.
