Vectrus

Vectrus is a single-braid rope of 100% Vectran™ LCP (Liquid Crystal Polymer) and is always treated with Yale’s Maxijacket coating to increase abrasion resistance and enhance the fibers’ UV resistance. LCP is more tolerant of tighter bending radii in terminations than other high-modulus fibers.

620°F (325°C) melting point allows for high temperature applications previously exclusive to wire rope
Little to no creep
Enhanced UV resistance

* Knots and abrupt bends significantly reduce the strength of all ropes and lower the maximum working load.
** Working load is based on static or moderately dynamic lifting/pulling operations. Instantaneous changes in load, up or down, in excess of 10% of the rope’s rated 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.

Green working 232 ft. lbs./lb.
Red ultimate 4,446 ft. lbs./lb.

Specific Gravity: 1.40

Dielectric Strength: The maximum allowable leakage for clean, dry Vectrus is 100 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.
