Polyethylene Fiber Cable
Spectra® Cable
Stronger than Polyester or Steel Wire!

Low density Spectra Cable provides high specific strength, low stretch, zero water absorption and superior abrasion resistance in both wet and dry conditions.

Unique to Small Parts, these sizes are specified to achieve high strength in small–diameter cables. Due to the single–braid, multi–strand construction, Spectra is as much as three times stronger than Polyester cables of equivalent weight, and its weight–to–strength ratio is approximately five times stronger than steel wire. A first choice for many marine and geological applications, Spectra is a "soft–hand" cable that is easy to splice. It has very low dielectric constants and loss–tangent with longer flex–fatigue life than other high strength cables. Elongation at break: 4% – 5%. Melts at 284°F (140°C).
