Rope Characteristic
Vectrus is a single-braided rope of 100% Vectran (LCP-Liquid Crystal Polymer), maxijacket coated to enhance abrasion resistance. LCP is more tolerant of tighter bending radii in terminations than other high modulus fibers. Vectran LCP thrives at high loads and carries a four to one load rating. Vectrus is normally coated with clear Maxijacket urethane enhancing its ultraviolet resistance, abrasion life, and snag resistance.
