Lightweight and Flexible Rope Access Design
The Petzl Parallel Rope 10.5 mm Orange is designed with a relatively small diameter to provide excellent flexibility while keeping overall rope weight low. At 75 g per meter, it is well suited to rope-access systems where efficient rope handling and reduced carrying weight are important.
Its low-stretch construction helps reduce elongation when the rope is loaded, improving efficiency when beginning a rope ascent.
EverFlex Technology
The PARALLEL 10.5 mm features EverFlex technology, which helps the rope maintain flexibility and consistent handling over time. Its nylon core and polyester sheath use a specific construction designed to provide reliable interaction with compatible devices.
EverFlex also helps preserve flexibility under different working conditions, including exposure to water, dust, and mud.
Orange Color for Easy Identification
The orange version provides clear visual identification within a rope-access setup. Petzl offers the PARALLEL 10.5 mm in six colors—white, yellow, black, blue, red, and orange—allowing users to differentiate working ropes, safety ropes, and common-access ropes.
Custom Lengths and Sewn Terminations
The rope is available in standard lengths of 50, 100, 200, and 500 meters. Custom lengths of up to 700 meters can also be ordered on request.
Sewn terminations can be added to one or both ends to create a ready-to-use rope. The protective sheath helps keep the connector in position and makes the termination easier to handle. Sewn terminations have a rated strength of 22 kN, compared with 15 kN for a figure-eight knot.
