Cable Liner

Okay kiddo, so you know that sometimes a rope or cable can get really dirty or worn out from being used a lot, right? Well, a cable liner is like a special cover that goes over the cable to protect it and make it last longer.

It's kind of like when you put a jacket on when it's really cold outside. The jacket keeps you warm and protected, and the cable liner does the same thing for the rope or cable. It can be made out of different materials, like plastic or rubber, and it wraps around the cable like a sleeve.

By putting a cable liner on, you get a few benefits. First, it can help prevent the cable from getting damaged from things like friction or the weather. Second, it can make the cable easier to handle and use, because it's smoother and doesn't have as much friction.

So, just like how wearing a jacket protects you from the cold and makes it easier to move around, a cable liner protects the cable and helps it work better. Cool, huh?
