Yale Kernmaster Explore 11mm (per metre)
Description
YALE Kernmaster Explore 11mm
This classic Kernmaster is constructed with a nylon core and is CE certified to EN 1891 standards. The Nylon core provides slightly more elongation than Kernmaster Phantom.
- Classic XTC-48 design with CE0598 EN Type A 1891 certification
- Available in 11mm
- Designed to run smoothly in ascenders, hitches, or SRS devices
- While primarly intended for SRS climbing, Explore can be used in MRS systems but a friction saver or cambium saver should be used to prevent damage to the sleeve.
Kernmaster is a static-rappelling line constructed with a traditional “mantle” sleeve consisting of 48 strands of polyester. The inside, or “kern,” is a braided core of energy-absorbing nylon. The core is fully steam-stabilized to enhance the rope’s flexibility and prevent hardening in service.
The braid also bends more easily and with less fatiguing of the core when cycled over sheaves or dropped over a parapet. The sleeve is either white with red tracers or solution-cast fiber (color added prior to yarn production), which makes for lasting colors and enhanced wear resistance.
| Diameter (mm) | 11 |
| Average Break Strength *(kg) | 3,310 |
| Minimum Spliced Break Strength *(kg) | 2,979 |
| Maximum Working Load 10:1 **(kg) | 331 |
| Weight (Kg/100m) | 8.2 |
* Knots and abrupt bends significantly reduce the strength of all ropes and lower the maximum working load.
** For situations where a person is NOT on the rope, the working load may be doubled (5:1).

Specific Gravity: 1.23 Dielectric Strength: The maximum allowable leakage for clean, dry Kernmaster is 500 micro- amperes when tested at 100kV per Yale Method 712-1701 Rev 1 "Routine Production Test." Absorbed and entrained moisture or impurities will increase rope’s conductivity dramatically. Maximum Working Load
