A fairlead assembly for use with a vehicle-mounted winch and cable, the fairlead assembly is adapted to guide and control the cable as it is spooled in or out by the winch. The fairlead assembly is attached to the vehicle, and comprises a pair of horizontal rollers positioned in parallel and separated by a cable guide space, along with a pair of vertical rollers positioned to the right and left of the cable guide space. The horizontal and vertical rollers control the vertical and horizontal motion of the cable within the cable guide space. The vertical and horizontal rollers may have coplanar central axes, allowing the fairlead assembly to have a reduced profile. The vertical rollers may also each comprise a cable control groove to guide and control the horizontal and vertical motion of the cable when the winch and cable are employed to execute a sideways pull.
