Galvanized Jacketed 3 x 19 Construction
Mooring Systems, Inc. specializes in the fabrication of wire
rope assemblies designed specifically for oceanographic
applications.
The 3 x 19 (3 strands, 19 wires per strand) galvanized
jacketed wire rope construction with swaged socket
terminations is the accepted standard for underwater mooring
installations.
Developed at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, this
high performance rope is torque resistant to prevent rotation
and unwinding, and provides superior handling control.
A durable plastic jacket protects against corrosion for
increased mooring longevity.
Reduce Drag & Improve Depth Control
Mooring performance is also improved as the wire rope's low Above: Stress relief boot, galvanized socket, and wire rope
drag coefficient allows better depth control of the top buoy
and in-line mounted instrumentation.

Features:
Torque Resistant Design 100% Proof Tested
Terminations
High Density Plastic
Jacket Polyurethane Boot
Reduces Bending Stress
Kink Resistant
Calibrated Wire Lengths
Excellent Strength to
Drag Ratio Inductive Modem Ready
Superior Resistance to Hydraulically Swaged
Corrosion Galvanized Sockets
Fish Bite Resistant
