Thumbnail Filmstrip of Voile 3-Pin Cable Telemark Bindings Images
Before the advent of compression spring cartridges, telemark binding designs relied on expandable springs to compensate for the rise in the heel when turning. Such springs were typically used in conjunction with some sort of flexible cable.
Enter the Voilé 3-Pin Cable Telemark Binding. Introduced in 1989, the name is a bit of a misnomer. As with all Voilé tele bindings, there really is no cable in the conventional sense. Instead, a pair of long, rigid, coiled springs with hooks and a locking heel piece complete the necessary toe-to-heel loop. The springs expand ever so slightly with each telemark turn and can be easily adjusted on the heel end. It’s a design that has stood the test of time, and still is very popular with skiers who prefer the comfort and flex of leather and softer-plastic telemark boots.
The so-called “cable” assembly hooks to a bomber toe piece akin to that of the Voilé Hardwire 3-Pin. Similarly, it can be removed to facilitate climbing and reattached for making turns.
At 1 lb, 13 oz. per pair, the Voilé 3-Pin Cable binding weighs in like a featherweight and performs like a middleweight. And if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.
Sold as a pair.

I use the three pin spring cable (or traverse) binding on both pairs of my UltraVector skis and for all three of my pairs of boots.. They work great, --- (a lot like Voile's new Transit TTS binding that allows you to attach or reattach the cable for more comfortable touring); only these are for 75 mm instead of the newer NTN boots. I use an old pair of Merrill leather double boots for which I use an old T3 liner. I also use and old pair of T3's with a Garment Excursion liner, and I just bought a new pair of T4's last year in which I also use the Garment Excursion liner.\n And like Mark Christopherson (talking about the Transit TTS binding) on the YouTube video with Free Heel Life, I also attach the heel clamp of the cable behind the heel pads for easy access when I need it for the downhill. I even have three separate pairs of the spring cables and heel clamps for each of my boots because they are all a little different in size. (They're not that expensive and the convenience of having them all pre-adjusted to my boots is worth it.) So I adjust them in the basement and then tape them with color coded tape so I can tell which ones fit which boots.....Great system...simple and bombproof. And like the new Transit binding, if I did happen to break a cable or heel clamp, I can still ski on the pins alone.---GREAT.\n I chose the 20/25 mm or Hardware three pin riser for greater leverage to put the skis on edge, especially effective for my leather boot, as they can take a little more effort to get the fat skis on edge on harder snow. They work great. I only use the 65mm climbing wires on all boots and skis.\n The only problem that one must accept if you use this binding is that, as with any three pin 75mm binding, you have the pins to contend with and getting them properly into the three holes in the 75mm toe lip of your boots. If you don't, the pins can ruin your pin holes. If you buy the smiley plates that FreeHeel Life carries and have them mounted by a cobbler, that will make this way easier and will extend the life of your boots.\n This is a great SIMPLE, BOMBPROOF BINDING that works well for all kinds of three pin 75mm boots.
