  • Our take on the 3/16" Wire Core MFP

    This is a solid braid polypropylene rope with a galvanized steel wire core running through the center. The 3/16-inch size carries a breaking strength of about 1,200 lbs, and the wire core makes it much harder to cut than plain rope. It is built for flagpole halyards and other static outdoor tie-off jobs. The trade-off is UV life: polypropylene degrades in sunlight faster than polyester or nylon, so a sunny, permanent outdoor spot shortens its service life.

    About the 3/16" Wire Core MFP

    This Wire Core MFP rope combines strength and flexibility. It has a solid braid polypropylene cover over a steel wire core. The cover resists abrasion, rot and mildew.

    The core is a 3/32" galvanized steel cable. It adds strength and makes the rope harder to cut. The rope can be used as a flagpole halyard.

    The polypropylene outer fiber is more susceptible to UV rays than polyester or nylon. It is less suited to long-term use in sunny outdoor conditions than a polyester wire core rope.

    Questions and answers

    Is this rope strong enough for a flagpole halyard?
    Yes. At 3/16 inch it is rated around 1,200 lbs breaking strength, well above the load of a typical flag and halyard hardware. The wire core also keeps it from being cut or frayed through.
    How does it compare with the polyester wire core version?
    The polyester version holds up to sunlight much longer. This polypropylene version is the lighter-duty choice for shaded or seasonal outdoor use.
    Can I cut and splice it?
    Cutting takes wire cutters or a hacksaw because of the steel core. Splicing is difficult; most users finish the ends with thimbles, clamps or knots instead.
    Will the steel core rust?
    The core is galvanized, so it resists rust, but water reaching bare core through a worn or cut jacket can start corrosion. Keep the jacket intact.
    What is it not good for?
    It is not a running line. The wire core does not like tight sheaves or repeated bending, and polypropylene loses strength with long sun exposure.
    Where is the 3/16" Wire Core MFP cheapest?
    At Knot & Rope Supply, for $110.00, as of our latest check.
    What do buyers say about the 3/16" Wire Core MFP?
