Wire rope itself actually is a type of rope which consists of several strands of metal wire twisted into a helix.  Initially wrought iron wires were used, but today steel is the main material used for wire ropes.  Historically wire rope evolved from steel chains which had a record of mechanical failure.  While flaw in chain links or solid steel bars can lead to catastrophic failure.  Flaws in the wires making up a steel cable are less critical as the other wires easily take up the load.  Friction between the individual wires and strands, as a consequence of their twist, further compensates for any flaws.
