No, cast aluminium is for synthetic.
The cast Iron fairlead is for steel cable.

Warn uses the same fairlead on the VR series for both steel and synthetic line.

learn something new everyday is my motto. thx.
so the seller should double his market and not just say, "for use with synthetic rope".

Aluminum for for synthetic.

Cast iron can be used with either.

That is true, but I like to use a roller fairlead with steel cable.

I have had both synthetic and steel Warn VR10's and the steel line just kills the hawse fairleads. I think it is just a way for warn to save money as a rolller is more money to make i am sure.

Steel will kill the aluminium hawse fairlead but not the cast iron. We had a 1970s forestry truck which ran the same cast iron fairlead for 40 years. Zero sign of wear.

reason I wanted this one is the cast iron one that came with my VR10 with steel line and this fairlead is pretty chewed up after half a dozen pulls. I suppose a forestry truck is just pulling straight on maybe a log or something. On my jeep pulling at all different angles

You might find a professional winching course will help.

I hang out with the guys who teach them There are some times and situations your steel is going to grind on your fairlead.

Not to hijack your sale ad but since you've sold it, I have one that I just took off of my VR12 that has never been used. Free to good home if someone needs it. Ron
