DekPro Pre-Drilled Cable Brace (also commonly called an intermediate baluster or picket) is a component in the Prestige Cable Railing system. The cable brace is for use between newel posts that are greater than 48” apart to keep cables from deflecting over 4”. It can be used in cable railing with or without a bottom rail (sold separately). These braces are 3/4" in diameter and made of high-quality aluminum. Both level and stair braces are 42” long. Braces are trimmable to fit any rail height.

Cable Braces are pre-drilled with 12 holes spaced 3-1/8” apart on center for level and stair runs. The stair pickets have oblong slots for cable at an angle. They can accommodate a 30-40 degree stair angle.

DekPro Intermediate pickets are available in the colors black and anodized. Black is typically chosen to match black posts and railing. Anodized is a more popular option for individuals wanting a less visible appearance that matches the color of the cable.
