A wire rope includes a plurality of strands . The strands are formed from individual wires or filaments . The strands are wound about a central axis. A conduit also extends along said central axis. The conduit has walls that are permeable to a lubricating compound. The lubricating compound is injected into the channel defined by the conduit. The lubricating material migrates through the conduit wall and radially outwardly therefrom to provide lubrication to the individual strands and filaments comprising the wire rope.
