Tresbro 20FT Reflective Tie Out Cable for Dogs Up to 250 lbs – Pink Steel Wire Leash with Stainless Steel Buckles
The Tresbro 20FT Reflective Tie Out Cable is a heavy-duty steel wire dog leash designed for dogs up to 250 pounds. It features a 5mm diameter stainless steel core, double-crimped ends for strength, and a pink vinyl cover that resists rust and biting. The cable includes two 360° rotatable press safety buckles to prevent tangling, and a reflective coating for visibility at night. Specs: length 20 feet (240 inches), width 0.2 inches, max tensile 5KN. Best for outdoor use in yards, camping, parks.
What makes the Tresbro 20FT reflective tie out cable different?
Unlike many standard tie-out cables, this one uses a 304 stainless steel clasp that resists corrosion and a 5mm wire diameter paired with double-crimped connections for durability. The cable has been tested to withstand up to 5KN of tensile force, which is roughly equivalent to the pull of a very large dog. The vinyl coating adds a layer of protection against weather and chewing, while the reflective strands woven into the jacket help you spot your dog in low light.
The two buckles are press-to-release and rotate 360°, which reduces twisting and keeps the cable from wrapping around legs or objects. This double fixing design means you attach one end to a ground stake or post and the other to your dog’s collar, and both connections stay secure without slipping.

How the clasps and reflective design work
The two clasps feature a push-button mechanism that requires a deliberate press to release, reducing accidental detachment. Each clasp rotates fully, which helps the cable lie flat and not kink. The reflective coating consists of small glass beads or microprisms embedded in the vinyl that bounce back light from flashlights, car headlights, or porch lights—making your dog visible from a distance at night.
The swivel eye hook at one end lets you attach the cable to a stake or post without twisting the entire line. The other end connects to your dog’s collar using the same clasp. Both connection points use the same 304 stainless steel hardware.
Is it suitable for large breeds?
Yes, the cable is rated for dogs up to 250 pounds, which covers most large and giant breeds. The 5mm wire thickness and double-crimped ends are designed to handle strong pulls. However, for extremely aggressive chewers, no cable is indestructible. The vinyl coating adds some resistance, but supervision is still recommended.
Where can you use this tie-out cable?
This 20-foot cable gives your dog a 40-foot diameter circle of freedom. It works best on a stake in a grassy yard, attached to a post on a deck, or wrapped around a tree trunk during camping. The reflective feature is especially useful for early morning or evening walks when visibility is low. The cable is lightweight enough to carry in a backpack for trips to the park or beach.
Frequently asked questions about this dog tie-out cable
Can I use this cable with a double-ended clip to connect two dogs?
The design includes two clasps—one at each end—so you can attach one end to a fixed point and the other to a single dog’s collar. It is not intended as a double leash for two dogs.
Will the pink color fade in the sun?
The vinyl cover is colored pink, and extended exposure to sunlight may cause some fading over time. The cable remains functional regardless of color changes.
How does the 5KN tensile strength compare to other cables?
5 kilonewtons is about 1,124 pounds-force. This means the cable can theoretically withstand a static load well above 250 pounds, but the rating is for the cable itself, not the buckles or attachments. The double-crimped ends and 304 stainless steel hardware are built to match this strength.
