Description
This is a 5m length of braided steel suspension cable used to hang pendant lights, chandeliers and other suspended ceiling fittings. The flexible multi-strand construction coils for storage and transport, then runs straight once tensioned by the weight of a fitting, giving a clean vertical drop from ceiling to luminaire.
The cable is intended as a replacement or extension wire for fittings supplied with shorter standard drops, or as a spare for installers working across rooms with varying ceiling heights. It can be cut to the exact length needed on site, allowing precise positioning of a pendant above a dining table, kitchen island or stairwell. Pair with a compatible cable gripper or ceiling rose mechanism appropriate to the fitting being suspended.
The braided steel construction gives the cable its load-bearing strength while keeping the diameter slim enough to read as a discreet line rather than a visible structural element. The bright steel finish suits modern, industrial and classic interiors equally, and the cable can be paired with separate cable covers or sleeves where a coloured or matt finish is preferred. Always check the load rating of the gripper and ceiling fixing against the weight of the light fitting before installation.

Frequently Asked
Can the cable be cut to length?
Yes. The cable is supplied at up to 5m and is intended to be cut on site to suit the required drop. Use a sharp cable cutter to avoid fraying the braided strands, and seat the cut end fully into the gripper or fixing mechanism.
What is it used for?
The cable is used to suspend light fittings from a ceiling fixing — typically pendant lights, chandeliers and longer-drop suspended luminaires. It can also be used as a replacement for a damaged original cable or as an extension where the manufacturer's standard drop is too short for the ceiling height.
What weight will it support?
Load capacity depends on the cable diameter and on the gripper, ceiling rose and fixing it is paired with. Always confirm the rated load of every component in the suspension chain against the weight of the fitting before installation, and use the lowest-rated component as your safe working limit.
Does it come with a gripper or ceiling rose?
No. This is the cable only. Cable grippers, ceiling roses and any required fixings should be sourced separately to match the specific light fitting and ceiling type.
