Cable v chain

The likelyhood of having the hitch come loose and actually needing the chains is extremely remote given the very positive locking of the Andersen pin under the ball when connected. I still connect my chains but it's not a big deal to do so.
So do the heavy duty recoil cables have the needed weight rating? I just bought our first 5th wheel and am new at this. Would you happen to have a picture of how you hook the cable to the trailer? This sounds like a much cleaner look than chains.
