1/2" diameter (13mm) No Splice Sterling's workhorse of the rigging lines perfect for standard-duty Tightly woven polyester sheath resists picking and protects the core without sacrificing handling Tensile strength of 10,800 lbs. (48kN) Elongation at 10% MBS: 4.1% This 1/2" Atlas rigging line is the workhorse of the Sterling arbor rigging lines, offering a perfect line for standard-duty rigging. The Atlas has a redesigned double-braid 32 strand construction that provides a huge increase in overall strength, while lowering the static elongation, but still allowing the rope to absorb impact forces and limiting peak forces when catching wood in negative rigging applications. The tightly woven polyester sheath resists picking and protects the core without sacrificing handling.
