New England KMIII Static Kernmantle Lines 11mm (7/16″) (blue).

KM III is an exceptional static rope for rappelling, caving, rescue, top roping, fixed rope applications, hauling, and life safety applications. The unique polyester sheath differentiates KM-III from other static ropes. The polyester sheath is balanced with a nylon core to limit rotation, bouncing, and stretch. KM III is NFPA and CE approved, and all come with an NFPA certification tag and CE labels. Thirty-two bobbins provide the correct sheath for the unique demands of static rope and the optimum sheath/core ratio. This allows for an incredibly smooth sheath, higher tensile strengths, and superior handling characteristics.

Static KM-III excels with:

• 32-strand cover for optimum cover/core ratio
• polyester over polyamide with a balanced, torque free construction
• excellent handling and knot holding characteristics
• high abrasion resistance
• excellent UV protection
