Cable can have too much deflection allowing body parts to slip through, or cables can merely "pull out" of the end fittings, causing the cable rail to fail. Poorly designed end posts will result in a railing where the cables cannot be properly tensioned without an unacceptable amount of cable deflection.
Stainless-steel cable and fasteners are strong and don’t obscure the view. Contemporary frame systems use plastic-coated steel cables. [6] Glass balusters and glass panels are often used at contemporary architectural projects where unobstructed view is important.

An example of this arrangement is the lower half of the Great Orme Tramway, where the section "above" the passing loop has a three-rail layout (with each pair of adjacent rails having its own conduit which the cable runs through), while the section "below" the passing loop has a two-rail layout (with a single conduit shared by both cars).
