5.3.3 Wire Rope to Wire Rope Splice (alternate)
Note: Use this splice when splicing two different size wire ropes together
Step A Extend 8"-10" [200 mm to 250 mm] of each wire rope to be spliced.
Step B Unravel each of the 8"-10" sections (to approximately the same length) into two sections to form
a Y with three adjacent spiral strands on one side, three adjacent spiral strands with center strand
on the other.
Step C Taking one end of the first cable, fold over the 4-strand section of the Y to form a loop. Join the
3-strand section to the 4-strand section. Wrap the 3-strand section around the 4-strand section
so the strands appear as in the original undisturbed cable.
Step D Take the second cable Y end and place the 4-strand end through the eye of the first cable loop.
Step E Repeat steps A through C.
Step F Using a pair of pliers, crimp the ends of the loops.
Step G Spiral wrap the splice tightly, using electrical tape.
