Async Ruby
Async has async-websocket gem. I don't have experience with it so can't tell how it compares to ActionCable.

Rails web socket server with external web socket client (also in Ruby)
Keep in mind that ActionCable implements its own JSON-based payload structure on top of web sockets. So you would need to build something on top of the basic web socket package to be able to exchange messages with a Rails backend. A quick google suggests there are a couple of ruby-based projects that have done that. You might check out action-cable-client, which doesn't look particularly maintained, but might give you a place to start.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing async-websocket and Action Cable Client you can also consider the following projects:
AnyCable - AnyCable for Ruby applications
Faye - Simple pub/sub messaging for the web
HTTP - HTTP (The Gem! a.k.a. http.rb) - a fast Ruby HTTP client with a chainable API, streaming support, and timeouts
