This is a choice that you will face with many kinds of wire rope; do you embrace the superior strength of an
independent wire core, or opt for the flexibility of a fibre core rope?
In the case of this 6x36 construction rope with a 24mm diameter, the load capacities are 32,817kg and 20,421kg respectively. Breaking loads of 322kN and 298kN also distinguish the wire and fibre core examples.
The good news is that in terms of corrosion resistance, it makes no difference which you select. Both ropes are made with AISI-compliant stainless steel, which should settle any questions you might have about the quality and consistency of construction.
