This cable is swaged down to 5/8" diameter (it may be slightly larger than 0.625"). Swaged cable starts as a larger size, then is swaged--or pressed--down to a smaller size. This results in a smoother cable that weighs more per foot, and is therefore stronger and more durable than regular cable. The trade-off is that swaged cable is stiffer.
