Tip with adjustable angle 4-5mm, ø 42.4, Satin

The Strofix rope holder is an AISI 304 stainless-steel wire rope fitting designed for Ø42.4 mm railing post tubes. The holder accepts wire ropes up to a maximum diameter of Ø5 mm and has a 19 mm body diameter (D) and 130 mm overall length (L). Supplied in satin finish with screwing elements included.

The rope holder mounts directly onto the Ø42.4 mm post tube and provides a guide point through which the wire rope passes. The 130 mm length and 19 mm body create a substantial fitting that integrates with the standard Strofix Ø42.4 mm post tube system. The maximum rope diameter of Ø5 mm covers the full Strofix wire rope range (Ø4, Ø5 mm). One rope holder is required at each intermediate post along the wire rope run, while railing terminals are used at the end posts to secure and tension the rope. AISI 304 stainless steel is suitable for standard interior and exterior railing installations.

The satin finish provides a uniform appearance that matches other Strofix railing and wire rope system components in the same finish.

FAQ:

What post tube diameter does this holder fit?

The rope holder is designed for Ø42.4 mm railing post tubes. This is the standard post tube diameter in Strofix railing systems.

What is the maximum wire rope diameter?

The holder accepts wire ropes up to a maximum of Ø5 mm (d max = 5 mm). This covers all Strofix stainless-steel wire ropes (Ø4, Ø5 mm).

What are the body dimensions?

The holder has a 19 mm body diameter (D) and 130 mm overall length (L).

How does this differ from the standalone rope holder?

This rope holder includes a mounting interface for Ø42.4 mm round post tubes. The standalone rope holder (SKU TS46S) is a simpler, smaller guide fitting designed for surface-mounted applications without a specific post tube interface. Choose this product when using Ø42.4 mm railing post tubes.

Are screwing elements included?

Yes. Screwing elements are included for securing the holder to the Ø42.4 mm post tube.

How many rope holders do I need?

One rope holder is required at each intermediate post along the wire rope run. End posts use railing terminals instead of rope holders. For example, a railing with 5 posts requires 3 rope holders (for the 3 intermediate posts) and 2 railing terminals (for the 2 end posts), per rope line.

About Wire Rope Systems

A wire rope system is a stainless-steel cable infill for balustrades: horizontal ropes are tensioned between the railing posts to form a light, open infill that keeps the view and lets air through – for balconies, terraces and staircases.

Strofix supplies the components for a Ø3 mm rope system: AISI 316 rope sold by the metre, rope holders for intermediate posts, eye anchors, tensioners, threaded terminals, rope stoppers and crimping pliers.

The rope and tensioning parts are AISI 316 and the rope holders AISI 304, for 40 × 40 mm and Ø42.4 mm posts. The correct set depends on the post profile, the number of rope runs and the length of the run.
