The Petzl VECTOR 12.5 mm Rope is a high-strength, low-stretch kernmantle rope engineered specifically for rescue professionals handling heavy loads. Featuring a composite design with a nylon core and a polyester sheath, its 32-carrier weave resists compression under load and provides low 2.4% static elongation for maximum efficiency. Integrated EverFlex technology ensures the rope retains its flexibility and smooth handling over time, even after exposure to water, dust, and mud. Certified to NFPA 2500 General Use and CE EN 1891 Type A standards, it delivers an impressive 45 kN breaking strength and is available in six distinct colors and multiple stock lengths up to 1,200 feet.

• Heavy-Load High Strength: Large 12.7 mm diameter provides a solid grip and a high 45 kN breaking strength rated for NFPA General Use rescue systems.

• Low Elongation Efficiency: Engineered with a nylon core and polyester sheath that minimizes rope stretch (2.4%) and compression under heavy loads.

• EverFlex Technology: Maintains long-term flexibility, knotability, and smooth device handling in harsh conditions like mud, water, and dirt.

• Global Safety Certifications: Fully certified to NFPA 2500 General Use, CE EN 1891 Type A, and Cordage Institute 1801 Low Stretch standards.

• Color-Coded & Custom Options: Offered in six distinct colors for rapid kit identification, with standard lengths up to 1,200 ft and custom sewn termination options.
