Yes you can use a hawse fairlead with steel cable but the fair lead needs to be a cast iron typeOriginally Posted by weeds

It is not advised to use fairlead rollers with Plasma rope, if you are winching off centre and the plasma rope gets pulled into a corner, i.e. where one vertical roller meets one horizontal roller the plasma rope can squash and get jammed between the two, not a problem with wire rope as it will not squash enough to go into the gap, Regards Frank.

Roller fairleads cause less friction on the wire rope and in a pinch they allow you to run the cable under the car and hook up to something behind to winch out backwards, that's if the vehicle is not bogged to the chassis, Regards Frank.
