The Swageless Plain Buckle Connector for 3mm Wire is a compact, high-strength termination fitting used in contemporary stainless steel wire balustrade systems. Manufactured from premium 316 marine-grade stainless steel, it provides outstanding corrosion resistance and structural reliability in outdoor and coastal environments. This connector uses a swageless mechanical grip, allowing installers to secure 3mm wire rope without specialised swaging tools. This makes it an excellent choice for sites with restricted access or projects requiring fast, tidy installation. The plain buckle functions as a fixed, non-adjustable end fitting and is normally paired with a tension adjuster—such as a turnbuckle—on the opposite end of the cable run. Its slim, unobtrusive body maintains a minimal architectural look while delivering consistent mechanical anchoring. This fitting is suitable for stair infills, balcony guards, terrace perimeters, and light commercial cable railing systems. Compatible with all standard 3mm wire rope components and accessories, the swageless plain buckle connector integrates seamlessly with other fittings to deliver a clean, modern and low-maintenance balustrade solution.

No. End posts, start posts, and corner posts always require eyebolts because they anchor and tension the wire. Mid posts usually do NOT require eyebolts, as the wire typically passes straight through the centre of the post. In certain cases—such as very long runs or unique configurations—mid posts may also use eyebolts, but this is not the standard setup.
