A Low-Elongation Static Rope Designed for Rescue, Caving, and High-Altitude Work

I. Panoramica del prodotto
In rope work, static ropes are essential for rescue, caving, high-altitude work, and other scenarios. Unlike dynamic ropes, static ropes have low elongation, maintaining a stable length during use, making them ideal for rope ascending, descending, and hauling systems.
The Xinda 3rd Generation HH9866 is a Type A low-elongation static rope with a diameter of 10.5mm and a breaking load of 28kN. It is CE0082 EN1891 certified and specifically designed for professional rope access applications.

III. Key Features
3.1 Type A Low-Elongation Static Rope
Static ropes are divided into Type A and Type B:
| Tipo | Caratteristiche | Applicazioni |
|---|---|---|
| Type A | Diameter ≥10mm, higher breaking load, more abrasion-resistant | Professional rescue, industrial work, caving |
| Type B | Diameter 9-10mm, lighter weight | Training, lightweight operations |
The HH9866 is a Type A static rope with a diameter of 10.5mm and a breaking load of 28kN, offering higher abrasion resistance and tensile strength for demanding, high-risk professional applications.
3.2 28kN High Breaking Load – Safe and Reliable
| Parametro | Valore | Interpretation |
|---|---|---|
| Carico di rottura | 28 kN | Approx. 2.8 tons – ultimate strength |
| Forza d'urto | 5.5 kN | Approx. 560 kg – force on the user during a fall |
| Falls Held | ≥8 times | Number of falls sustained under EN standard testing |
A breaking load of 28kN means the rope can theoretically withstand an ultimate tensile force of approximately 2.8 tons, providing ample safety margin. The 5.5kN impact force keeps the load on the user within a reasonable range during a fall, reducing the risk of injury.
3.3 Low Elongation – No Stretching During Work
The HH9866 has an elongation rate of only 3.4% under load, meaning:
- The rope does not stretch significantly when loaded
- Ascending and descending position control is more precise
- Hauling systems operate more efficiently
For rescue, caving, and other scenarios requiring precise positioning, low elongation is a critical performance characteristic.
3.4 Highly Abrasion-Resistant Sheath – Long Service Life
The HH9866 features a 48-strand braided construction with a 30% sheath and 70% core:
| Characteristic | Valore | Spiegazione |
|---|---|---|
| Scivolamento della guaina | 0.1% | Sheath stays in place; stable construction |
| Sheath Proportion | 30% | Sufficient abrasion resistance |
| Core Proportion | 70% | Main load-bearing component |
An ultra-low sheath slippage rate of 0.1% means the sheath and core are tightly integrated. The sheath is less likely to bunch up or shift after prolonged use or repeated abrasion, resulting in a longer rope service life.
3.5 CE Certified – Compliant with EN1891
The HH9866 is CE0082 EN1891 certified:
- CE: EU safety certification
- 0082: Notified Body number
- EN1891: European standard for static ropes used in personal fall protection equipment
This certification confirms that the rope meets stringent EU requirements for static rope design, manufacturing, and testing.
3.6 Excellent Knotability
The knotability coefficient is K = 1.1:
- Values closer to 1 indicate less strength loss after knotting
- 1.1 is an excellent result
- Knots are secure and resistant to slipping
In practice, this means the rope retains a high percentage of its original strength even after knotting.

VI. Linee guida per l'uso
- Inspect for wear – Before each use, check the sheath for cuts, abrasion, or fuzzing
- Avoid sharp edges – Prevent rope contact with sharp edges; use rope protectors when necessary
- Keep a usage log – Record the number of uses and any fall events
