Wire Rope Clip Installation Diagram - Dead End vs Live End Cable Clamp Orientation

This document is a small illustrated diagram showing the correct installation of wire rope clips (cable clamps) on a steel cable. The drawing depicts a cable formed into an eye loop and secured by three U-bolt style clips, each with a saddle and two nuts. Two labeled arrows identify the cable strands: the upper, terminating strand is labeled the "Dead (short) end" and the lower, load-bearing strand is labeled the "Live (long) end." The clips are shown oriented so the U-bolt portion bears on the dead (short) end while the saddle supports the live (long) end — the conventional "never saddle a dead horse" arrangement. There are no part numbers, torque specifications, dimensions, spacing measurements, or vehicle-specific information visible in the image; the only text present is the two end labels. A reader can learn from this diagram which end of a clamped cable is the dead end versus the live end, and how the clips should be oriented relative to those ends when terminating a cable eye. Although filed with a 1993 Ford Bronco (likely related to winch cable or rigging work), the diagram itself is generic rigging reference material with no stated vehicle applicability.
