I have a client that is wanting a 24" 14Kt cable chain. Either 6.5mm
or 9.1 mm. My regular suppliers do not carry this size. Can you
recommend suppliers for this size chain?
Thanks in advance.

What is a 6.5mm cable chain? Cable chain machines are typically
speced by the wire diameter and the rings per inch I think - at least
mine were when I bought them. For cable chain I personally would like
to know the length and width and wire size of the rings.
For example I have a machine that makes a cable chain with rings
that are made from 1mm (0.040") wire - rings are 0.212" (5.4mm) x
0.175" (4.5mm). This is about 7.5 rings per inch. So I’d call the
chain 4.5mm x 5.4mm x 1mm wire.
