Optimus
Optimus
Optimus is a single-braid 12-strand rope manufactured from a solution-dyed polyester and coated with our riggers-grade, abrasion-resistant coating to maximize protection. The vibrant polyester colorfast fibers are resistant to fading and provide lifelong visibility.
- Provides optimal UV and weather resistance while maintaining its lightweight and flexible characteristics.
- Color coded by diameter for easy identification in the field.
- Manufactured with a braid angle specifically designed for slings and splicing.
Optimus Splicing Instructions
Approved Splice Technique: #10015101 (Single Braid Eye Splice).
Industrial Single Braid – Eye Splice
Optimus Specifications and Data
* 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.
Specific Gravity: 1.38
Dielectric Strength: The maximum allowable leakage for clean, dry Optimus 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.
