I have access to this rope which is made for and marketed to boat racers but the specs look like it may work find for a tether and linemans belt. The 7/16" rope has an average tensile strength of 9,500 lbs. Am I missing anything here?
SAMSON ROPE MLX Innegra™-S/Dyneema® Blended Core Double Braid
This rope is designed for the club racer but is also suitable for the performance-oriented cruiser. MLX is a double-braid construction that incorporates a first-of-its-kind core with a polyester cover. The unique core is a blend of an exclusive fiber, Innegra™ S, a high-modulus polypropylene (HMPP), and Dyneema®, a high-modulus polyethylene (HMPE) that's only available through Samson. This line bridges the performance characteristics and price tags of traditional synthetic fibers, such as nylon and polyester, and high-performance synthetic fibers, such as Technora®, Dyneema®, and Vectran®.
MLX is a lightweight, core-dependent line that has excellent strength and low stretch. The core is Samthane™-coated to match the color of the cover, making the line strippable for greater weight savings
Features:
Applications:
Note: When splicing, use a Double Braid, Core-Dependent Splice, which will allow optimum utilization of the breaking loads.
