Abstract

A wire rope is provided having a central core strand about which are wound outer strands. Spacer strands are present in the gaps between such core strand and outer strands to assume the uniformity of such gaps. A coating, usually of a suitable thermoplastic, is extruded into such rope to provide a spacer between such core and such outer strands, and between adjacent outer strands.
