Guy wire is a tensioned cable that anchors tall structures—such as towers, antennas, and utility poles—to the ground, distributing loads to prevent toppling or bending under wind and environmental forces. Originally used in maritime applications to secure ship masts, it is now essential in power transmission, telecommunications, broadcasting, and supporting wind turbines and temporary structures.
The cable typically features high-quality steel strands coated with zinc through hot-dip galvanizing, providing resistance to moisture, corrosion, and chemicals. Galvanized coatings conform to Class A, B, or C standards based on environmental demands, while stainless steel variants extend service life in wet or marine conditions. Configuration options include 1×7 strand designs (stiffer, suited for most tensioning) and 1×19 designs (more flexible, higher working load limits), with diameters from 1/4 inch to 1 inch.
Guy wire delivers high tensile strength—reaching up to 6800 pounds for 5/16-inch diameter—with minimal elongation under load, meeting standards such as American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) A475, BS 183, and International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) 61089. Compatible hardware includes big grip dead ends, end sleeves, wire rope clips, turnbuckles for tension adjustment, and thimbles for abrasion protection, all designed to match rated strength and ensure secure installations in demanding outdoor applications.

Frequently Asked Questions
RaxPower's guy wire is a high-strength, lightweight tensioned cable designed to provide stability to towers, antennas, and other utility structures by distributing weight and preventing toppling, twisting, or breaking. It has very little stretch for reliable performance.
RaxPower's guy wire is commonly used to secure utility poles, telephone poles, power poles, communication towers, wind turbines, and large temporary structures, providing essential stability against wind and storms.
RaxPower's guy wire is hot-dipped galvanized, providing a zinc coating that protects against corrosion and rust from environmental elements. It meets or exceeds ASTM A475 standards, ensuring high tensile strength, quality, and long-term reliability for power transmission, telecommunications, and other demanding applications.
RaxPower offers guy wire in two configurations: 1x7 and 1x19 strands. The 1x7 type is stiffer and ideal for most tensioning setups, while the 1x19 provides more flexibility and a higher working load limit, perfect for telecommunications, renewable energy, and structural support.
RaxPower's guy wire is compatible with various hardware, including big grip dead ends for secure termination, end sleeves to prevent unraveling, wire rope clips for clamping, turnbuckles for tension adjustment, shackles for connections, and thimbles for eye protection. All hardware is galvanized for corrosion resistance.
Installation of RaxPower's guy wire should only be done by experienced professionals. It involves attaching wires to structures and ground anchors, proper tensioning, and using approved hardware. For safety, consult professionals or organizations like The National Association of Tower Erectors.
We provide guy wires in bulk quantities with competitive pricing and can meet custom requirements, supported by efficient supply chain processes to ensure on-time delivery and consistent quality for projects like utility expansions or renewable energy installations.
