5/16 inch heavy duty wire rope thimble.  Thimbles are designed to protect the eyes of wire rope assemblies from damage when using attachments such as shackles or hooks.  The thimble, when installed inside the loop of a wire rope assembly prevents the load from coming into direct contact with the wires.  The thimble also reinforces the natural shape of the loop.  Thimbles help to distribute the load over a larger area, increasing cable life.
