Utility Cord for General Tasks
This 12-strand utility cord is built for general lifting and pulling jobs where a lightweight rope is sufficient. The diamond-braid construction uses polypropylene for both core and cover, giving a breaking strength of 1,200 lbf and a working load limit of 240 lb. It comes in a 100-foot hank with plain ends ready for knotting or splicing.
Replaces Worn or Thinner Lines
Swap this cord in when an older line shows fraying, UV damage or has lost its rated strength. The step up is worth it if your current rope is a smaller diameter or a lower strand count that cannot meet the 240-pound working load. For loads that exceed this limit or require dynamic stretch, a different rope class is required.
Suits Light-Duty Rigging and Tie-Downs
This cord suits DIY users, maintenance crews and light industrial settings that need a 3/8-inch diameter rope for hoisting, towing or securing loads within the rated limit. Buyers who need a higher working load, a larger diameter or a rope rated for overhead lifting with certified terminations should look at a different specification.

Questions about this item
What diameter cleat or block will the 3/8 in rope fit through?
The cord measures 3/8 in diameter, so choose hardware rated for at least 3/8 in line.
How do I secure the plain ends after cutting a length?
Melt the cut polypropylene ends or tie a stopper knot; the rope has no factory splices or whippings.
When should I retire the cord based on the 240 lb working load limit?
Replace it if fibres show abrasion, UV chalking, or if it has ever been loaded near the 1,200 lbf breaking strength.
