- Core: the six-strand ropes have a fibre core (FC). The 1×7 and 1×19 single-strand ropes have no core.

Typical applications
Thinner ropes in 6×7 and single-strand constructions are used for fencing, guy wires, mast bracing, suspensions and cable balustrades. Medium sizes in 6×19 suit construction machinery, winches and agricultural use. Thicker 6×37 ropes are used with winches, davits and pulley blocks, where flexibility over sheaves matters.
