Properties & applications:
Elevator rope. This construction is slightly more flexible than the traditional 8x19S so it has better fatigue resistance but it is slightly less resistant to abrasion. It is becoming more and more common as hoist rope on traction drive elevators.
Information for use and maintenance:
Rope Category Number (RCN): 05 Rope ends must be secured against rotation.
