Default Fancy wire rope ends?

On Mon, 08 Sep 2008 23:48:48 -0700, with neither quill nor qualm, JR
North quickly quoth:

I don't kniow what the tensile rating is of the chuck joint, but I bet
it's nowhere near that of a properly swaged coupling.


2,680 pounds weight capacity. I wonder if you're supposed to divide
that by the 4mm opening, which would cut it to 422 lbs. Still, that'd
hold a couple large guys standing on one strand of the railing wire.
