<p>A <b>cable machine</b> is an item of equipment used in <a href="Weight_training" class="mw-redirect" title="Weight training">weight training</a> or <a href="Functional_training" title="Functional training">functional training</a>. It consists of a rectangular, vertically oriented <a href="Steel" title="Steel">steel</a> frame about 3 metres wide and 2 metres high, with a <a href="Weight_stack" class="mw-redirect" title="Weight stack">weight stack</a> attached via a <a href="Wire_rope" title="Wire rope">cable</a> and <a href="Pulley" title="Pulley">pulley</a> system to one or more handles.<sup id="cite_ref-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The cables that connect the handles to the weight stacks run through adjustable <a href="Pulley" title="Pulley">pulleys</a> that can be fixed at any height. This allows a variety of <a href="Exercise" title="Exercise">exercises</a> to be performed on the apparatus. One end of the cable is attached to a perforated steel bar that runs down the centre of the weight stack. To select the desired amount of resistance, move the metal pin into the labelled hole in the weight stack. The other end of the cable forms a loop, which allows the user to attach the appropriate handle for the exercise. Most cable machines have a minimum of 20 pounds (~9 kilograms) of resistance in order to counterbalance the weight of the typical attachment.
