Xinda 3rd Generation H-Series HH9866 Static Rope

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

I. Product Overview

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:

Type	Characteristics	Applications
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

Parameter	Value	Interpretation
Breaking Load	28 kN	Approx. 2.8 tons – ultimate strength
Impact Force	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	Value	Explanation
Sheath Slippage	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.

Climbing / Mountaineering	Glacier travel, big wall aid climbing
Rappelling	Multi-pitch descents – precise position control
Engineering protection	Safety ropes, lanyards

VI. Usage Guidelines

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
Replace periodically – Replace every 3–5 years depending on frequency of use
Store properly – Avoid direct sunlight, high temperatures, and chemical exposure
Clean and maintain – Wash with water and a soft brush; air dry naturally
Not for lead climbing – Do not use for lead climbing protection (dynamic ropes are required for impact absorption)
