Cable like this has a published Breaking Strength, but not an assigned Working Load Limit (WLL). There are many variables that come into play when determining the proper WLL, but generally, wire rope such as this has a 5:1 (1280 lbs) or 10:1 safety factor (640 lbs). It really depends on how the cable is being used, how the ends are terminated/secured, etc.
