The Petzl Parallel Rope 10.5 mm Black is a lightweight and flexible low-stretch kernmantel rope designed specifically for rope access applications. Its 10.5 mm diameter provides an effective balance between low weight and flexibility, while its low stretch under load helps improve efficiency when beginning a rope ascent.
The rope combines a nylon core and polyester sheath with Petzl’s EverFlex technology, providing consistent flexibility and handling over time. Designed to perform in a variety of conditions, the PARALLEL 10.5 mm is available in multiple colors and lengths, with custom lengths and sewn terminations available on request.

Lightweight and Flexible Design
The Petzl Parallel Rope 10.5 mm Black uses a relatively small 10.5 mm diameter to reduce weight while maintaining excellent flexibility. At just 75 g per meter, it offers a practical option for rope-access users who need to manage and carry rope efficiently.
The low-stretch construction also helps improve efficiency when the rope is loaded, particularly at the beginning of a rope ascent.
EverFlex Technology for Consistent Handling
The rope features EverFlex technology, which helps maintain flexibility and consistent handling over time and in different working conditions. Its construction uses a nylon core and polyester sheath with a specific weave to support reliable interaction with compatible devices.
The EverFlex treatment is designed to maintain the rope’s flexibility even when exposed to conditions such as water, dust, and mud.
Color Options for Rope Identification
The PARALLEL 10.5 mm is available in six colors: white, yellow, black, blue, red, and orange. The range allows users to differentiate between working ropes, safety ropes, and common-access ropes when organizing rope-access systems.
Multiple Length Options and Custom Terminations
Standard lengths are available in 50, 100, 200, and 500 meters. Custom rope lengths of up to 700 meters can also be ordered on request.
For users who require a ready-to-use configuration, sewn terminations can be manufactured on one or both ends. A protective sheath helps keep the connector in position and facilitates handling. Sewn terminations also provide a rated strength of 22 kN, compared with 15 kN when the rope is tied using a figure-eight knot.
