If socketing is properly applied ropes have the highest breaking strength of all end-termination methods. Socketing is done with WIRELOCK resin compound. Sockets fit Standard rope – and most Python® wire rope constructions. Ask for details.

Note: Do not attempt socketing yourself unless person is specially trained and qualified.
