Cable Chain
Cross sectional view of a 7 x 19 cable 5/16″ diameter
With cable the load is shared over 133 wires. When cable becomes fatigued the wires break one by one over a long period of time with little effect on the overall strength. This is the way cable alerts the user to the need for replacement.

Chain
With chain the weight of the entire chute system rests on a single link. If you lose a link then you lose it all with potentially fatal consequences. Chain provides no obvious visible warning before failing. The low quality chain that is used by other chute makers is inconsistent, unreliable & unsafe.
A chain is only as strong as the weakest link.
