Ocean Polyester

How can it be made of the same construction/materials but be a different class?

 

And some ropes, Yale xtc plus for example, just the jacket provides its strength.

 

 

covers same bro cores different, op-poly, ov-vectran.

 

should have been clearer sorry folks

No, I'm sorry, I misread your original post.

 

Is it the double braids that use both their core and jacket for strength, as the yale xtc plus is spliced with a class 1 eye splice and core dependents ov, Armor Prus etc. should be done with a class 2 splice. Or is there more to it?

Double braid has oth strength in core and cover hence double braid. Xtc is 16 strand so is cover strength. Ov is db class 2 and is core dependent. Technically armour prus is class 2 due to hmpe core but testing has found class 1 to be strong enough when used in a hitch configuration.Samson has great instructions on rope construction and relevant splices- if your not asking questions here, they are a great place to get info from
