Nylon is an extremely durable material that is resilient to abrasion and impact. It offers a long cycle life, especially in high-use environments where it moves along pulleys or sheaves. It can withstand harsh conditions as well as temperature shifts while remaining intact and in use.
A nylon coated cable includes a wire rope enclosed in a protective nylon casing. The coating features a smooth surface which is robust and durable. Even though nylon cables have a strong coating, they remain flexible enough to use in many different ways.
