🔍 Key Concepts

• Efficiency (strength) of terminations compared to the rope’s original breaking strength • Differences between mechanical sockets, splices, and wire rope clips (clamps) • How zinc-poured sockets perform under high, steady loads

💭 Think About

• Consider which method most closely preserves the full strength of the original wire rope, rather than reducing it significantly. • Think about which method is preferred for permanent terminations in critical applications like lifting, towing, or standing rigging. • Ask yourself: Which termination type is often rated as near 100% of rope strength, and which are usually de-rated (e.g., 80–90% or less)?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which option is a poured socket and recall its typical efficiency rating relative to original rope strength. • Compare spliced eyes versus clipped eyes in terms of strength loss and common USCG/industry guidance. • Verify which of these methods is normally used where maximum and reliable strength is required, not just convenience or adjustability.
