Kernmantle rope is rope constructed with its interior core protected by a woven exterior sheath designed to optimise strength, durability and flexibility. The core fibres provide the tensile strength of the rope, while the sheath protects the core from abrasion during use.
Pull tested to and minimum requirement: Min requirement is 29.4kN, actual 40kN+ (Have understated the test cert for prudency purposes, the test was stopped at 36kN)
Knot test to and minimum requirement: Min reuirement is 14.7kN, actual 20kN+ (Have understated the test cert for prudency purposes, the test was stopped at 17kN)
Normal 4142.3 rope contains 80g, whereas LINQ rope contains 110g. The outer casing is very tight for abrasion resistance.
