What is cable ferrule?
In the context of wiring, a ferrule is a small deformable metal tube, generally made out of tin plated copper. This short tube (or long ring) is placed over a section of stranded wire extending from stripped insulation, then compressed with a crimping tool to hold the strands together.
What is a swaged fitting?
Swaging is a method of securing cable railing wire with a permanently fitted cable or sleeve. The connection typically exceeds the rated breaking strength of the wire rope or cable. This is accomplished using fittings known as swages. By definition, a swage fitting is a wire rope component.
What size swage do I need?
Swages per Sleeve 2 swages are required for sizes 1/16ths” and 3/32nds” sleeves. 3 swages are required for sizes 1/8th” and 5/32nds” sleeves. 4 swages are required for 3/16ths” and ¼ inch sleeves. 5 swages are required for 5/16ths” and 3/8ths” sleeves.
Should I use ferrules?
In addition to providing protection against damage, ferrules offer mechanical advantages during wiring by preventing the splaying and over bending of individual litz wire ends. This is particularly beneficial when performing multiple rewiring operations in the control cabinet – not least from a safety point of view.
Can you crimp ferrules with pliers?
7 Answers. Just crush the thing with any tool you have around. If you can use a big vise to crush them down, that’s probably the most ‘controlled’ way. Otherwise, use pliers, or get a hammer and chisel and dent the sleeve at two or three points with the chisel.

How to add ferrule to fiberglass tubing?
Mix the epoxy then apply a generous layer around the end of the tubing or rod. Slide on the ferrule and allow time to set. During the adhesive setting time, be sure the ferrule is in-line with the tube or rod. If using on Max-Gain Systems fiberglass tube or rod, the tolerances are close where achieving this will be more simple.
