Braided 12mm steel cable, 1.2 metres long. Built for outdoor use and visible theft deterrence.


Visible Theft Deterrence – thanks to 12mm braided steel

Multiple steel strands woven into a 12mm braid increase cross-sectional density and create a stiff, substantial cable. The braid resists simple tampering by handheld tools and presents a clear physical barrier.

A strong, obvious anchor discourages opportunistic thieves and reduces the chance of quick snatch attempts.

Scratch Protection – with vinyl-coated sheath

A vinyl outer layer covers the steel braid to isolate metal from painted or plated surfaces. The coating also reduces direct contact with moisture at contact points.

Paintwork and metal finishes stay protected during daily locking and unlocking, cutting down on cosmetic damage.

Practical Reach for Everyday Use – thanks to 1.2m length

At 1.2 metres, the braided cable offers enough length to loop through frames and around common anchor points while retaining stiffness. The construction balances flexibility with shape retention.

Enough room to secure a bicycle to a post or link several items together without excessive slack to manage.
