Our 6x7 fibre core galvanized steel wire rope is a general-purpose rope suitable for use in a wide range of applications including fencing rope, standard rigging and other general engineering applications. Fibre core 6x7 wire rope offers slightly more flexibility than 7x7 wire strand core rope which is essentially the same rope albeit with a different central core.
Our 6x7 galvanised steel wire rope is available in a wide range of diameters; however, the rope loses some of its flexibility the wider the depth you opt for. For this reason, the 6x7 rope is often favoured in smaller diameters, typically 2mm or less, though they are available up to 16mm.
Where 6x7 ropes are used in applications where a stiffer rope is required, for example when used as a mast stay, then they are often recommended in diameters of 6mm or above.
In a 6x7 rope, the wires tend to be larger than other constructions of the same diameter which lends the rope significantly increased abrasion resistance.
It should be noted however, that this increased abrasion resistance comes at the cost of the ropes overall bendability and you should expect for the rope to have decreased fatigue resistance.
Our 6x7 fibre core rope is designed for harsh conditions where its larger outer wires offer enhanced breaking strength.
