Corrosion resistant cable

A cable comprising:

• a core including a plurality of first wires;
• and
• a plurality of strands surrounding the core, each strand including a plurality of second wires,
• wherein the plurality of first wires includes nineteen first wires, wherein the plurality of second wires includes seven second wires, and wherein the plurality of strands includes eight strands,
• wherein the cable defines a maximum cross-sectional dimension less than 2 millimeters,
• wherein the cable has a breaking strength of at least 2000 Newtons,
• wherein the cable elastically elongates less than 1% of its total length and plastically elongates less than 0.05% of its total length under a tensile load of about 60% of the breaking strength, and
• wherein the cable has a corrosion resistance under ASTM B117 greater than 312 hours.

A window regulator system comprising:

• a track;
• a carriage coupled to the track for movement along the track;
• a window coupled to the carriage for movement with the carriage along the track;
• a cable coupled to the carriage, the cable including
• a core having a plurality of first wires made of carbon steel, and
• a plurality of strands surrounding the core, each strand having a plurality of second wires made of stainless steel;
• and
• a motor coupled to the cable and operable to move the carriage along the track via the cable,
• wherein the cable has a maximum cross-sectional dimension less than 2 millimeters, and
• wherein the cable has a breaking strength of at least 2000 Newtons.
