Diameter does not correlate to strength. The Beal Cordelette is 5.5mm and rated MBS Rating (daN): 1800. Get something that strong or stronger, in a diameter between 2/3 and 3/4 the diameter of your rope.

Allot has been covered so far. From knot deficiency to KN but something I teach the men on my crew is “ if it doesn’t look right or it doesn’t feel right, it’s not right.” Sometimes your best judge is your gut.
18 kN is the break strength of Beals 5.5mm with a dyneema core, the one with Kevlar is only rated at 15 kN.Diameter does not correlate to strength.

Thoughts on EWO sterling 6mm accessory cord used as a friction hitch on 8mm?
It’s borderline strength wise for my preference, and there’s no cut and heat resistance.
A nice 5mm cord is Beal’s Back Up Line, Kevlar core and nylon and some aramid cover, Wild Line Ropes sells it by the foot.
