Braid Optimized for Bending (BOB®) 12×12

Dyneema® SK75 & Vectran Blend, 12-Strand

BOB® 12×12 Strand is a high strength, low elongating single braided rope construction with excellent long term creep resistance and superior cyclic fatigue performance, especially in bend-over-sheave applications. In the 12×12 strand construction, each strand consists of a smaller 12 strand rope produced using a proprietary blend of fibers. This design maximizes the strength of the fiber while allowing damaged rope strands to be removed and replaced if necessary. BOB® 12×12 Strand comes standard with a specially formulated coating that is designed to maximize the rope’s durability in bending situations.

BOB 12×12 Strand is easily spliced using a lockstitch type splice, Brummel splice, 4-3-2 or 5-4-3 Tuck splice. The soft, torque free braided construction provides easy handling.
