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 | 11m |
| Average Spliced Break Strength | 3,310kg |
| Minimum Spliced Break Strength* | 2,979kg |
| Maximum** Working Load 5:1 | 331kg |
| Weight | 8.2kg / 100m |
* Knots and abrupt bends significantly reduce the strength of all ropes and lower maximum working load.
** Working load is based on static or moderately dyanmic lifting/pulling operations. Instantaneous changes in load, up or down, in excess or 10% of the rope’s related working load constitute
hazardous shock load and would void the normal working-load recommendation. Consult Yale Cordage for guidelines for working loads and the safe use of rope.
