The catenary represents the profile of a simple suspension bridge, or the cable of a suspended-deck suspension bridge on which its deck and hangers have negligible weight compared to its cable. The parabola represents the profile of the cable of a suspended-deck suspension bridge on which its cable and hangers have negligible weight compared to its deck. The profile of the cable of a real suspension bridge with the same span and sag lies between the two curves.
