Iridium 10.5 mm semi-static cord – Characteristics and uses

The Iridium 10.5 mm semi-static rope is designed for applications requiring high strength and excellent handling. Its compact core and 32-strand polyamide sheath ensure an excellent balance between durability and smooth handling. It belongs to the EN 1891 type A category, intended for professional uses where safety and performance are paramount.

This type of rope is primarily used for working at height , rescue operations , caving , and canyoning . In circus arts, it is perfectly suited for securing aerial equipment such as hoops and trapezes. Its low elasticity (3.1% measured between 50 kg and 150 kg) prevents any unwanted vertical movement of suspended equipment and ensures excellent stability .

NetJuggler's review of the Iridium 10.5 rope

The manufacturer states that this rope is semi-static, but in practice, its elasticity is very low and close to that of a static rope. This makes it a top choice for anyone seeking maximum stability in their anchors. However, it remains flexible enough to offer good maneuverability , which facilitates knots and handling in the field. Its main advantage is its 22 kN certified sewn loop , which offers a safe and practical solution for less experienced users or for supervisors who prioritize speed of setup and reliability.

Safe equipment adapted to professional and artistic activities

The design of the 10.5 mm Iridium rope minimizes the risks associated with wear and abrasion, with zero sheath slippage observed in the laboratory. Its static resistance of 29.2 kN and its resistance with figure-eight knot of 19.5 kN guarantee a high safety margin for professionals and artists alike. In stage practice as well as in intervention, it reduces sudden movements and offers better suspension stability, directly contributing to safety and user comfort.

Understanding this rope in simple terms (explanation for beginners)

The 10.5 mm semi-static rope might seem very technical with all its numerical specifications. In practical terms, this means it's very strong (it can withstand several tons before breaking), it moves very little when suspended (3 cm of elongation per meter of rope under a person's weight), and it's designed to hold and stabilize equipment rather than to cushion a fall. It's therefore ideal for securing a trapeze, a hoop, or for descending/ascending in caving. In short: it's a rope that remains stable, reliable, and durable , even under heavy loads.

Who is this rope for?

The 10.5 mm Iridium rope is designed for professional users as well as demanding climbers looking for a durable and reliable rope. It is particularly suitable for:

Workers at height : rope access technicians, entertainment technicians, tree pruners.
The rescue and intervention teams .
Caving and canyoning enthusiasts.
Circus artists using aerial equipment (trapeze, hoop, hammock).

Recommended uses with rope

Aerial equipment fixing: stable and secure anchoring for circus apparatus.
Working at height: progression, descent and anchoring in the building and tree-pruning trades.
Caving and canyoning: ascending and descending on ropes with low elasticity, limiting pumping.
Rescue and intervention: lifting, evacuation and securing techniques.

Usage and maintenance instructions

Allow a cutting margin (2–3%) to compensate for natural shrinkage after immersion.
Store the rope away from moisture, direct sunlight and chemicals.
Regularly check the sheath (pilling, flat spots) and the usable length .
Never use the rope to arrest a high fall factor: it is not a dynamic rope.
When used in aerial applications, always check the strength of the supporting structure and provide redundant anchor points if necessary.
