Abstract: A high compression thimble is disclosed for use with fiber and particularly wire rope, either spliced thereto or used with compression sleeves. A ring is securely welded within an enlarged semi-circular lower end of the thimble to snugly receive an attachment device, such as a pin therethrough, and the thimble is particularly adapted for high stress uses such as the securement of marine rigging ends as well as other uses involving heavy equipment or the like.
