The wire rope should have at least six (6) strands and if it is to pass through several
line guides, a higher number of strands are recommended. A wire rope with fewer
strands may be more resistant to wear whereas a rope with a higher number of
strands is more exible and bends easier through the guides which will make it
more user-friendly.

A compacted rope will have a longer useful life since damage will be
avoided because of the rope’s smoother surface.
