What is braided rope?

What is braided rope?

• A. A rope made by twisting fibers
• B. Single weave formed by 3 or more fiber bundles
• C. The rope's core alone
• D. A rope with a double sheath

Answer: (B)

Braided rope is created by interlacing three or more fiber bundles along the length of the rope. This weaving forms a single rope by braiding the fibers together, rather than twisting them into laid strands. That interlaced structure gives braided rope a smooth surface, good flexibility, and even load distribution, which are distinct from the way laid rope is made by twisting fibers. The other ideas describe twisting yarns into a rope, focusing on a core or a sheath, which are not what braided rope is defined by. So the best description is a single braided construction formed from multiple fiber bundles.
