Nine inner strands, and 100 m on a spool
Romon 100 m spool of 4 mm army-green cord, nine inner strands
The longest length published in this hub at 100 m, on a spool, with nine inner strands rather than the seven the 550 designation describes — both figures printed by the maker.
What this listing puts on record
A hundred metres of army-green cord, 4 mm across, in high-grade nylon: nine inner triple strands inside a 32-fold braided sheath, described in a later bullet as nylon paracord 550, with a stated breaking load of 250 kg — 550 lbs — and wound on a spool.
A hundred metres on one spool
100 m — stated, and it is the longest length published in this hub. The rest of the shelf runs three, ten, fifteen and eighteen-times-three metres, with one listing publishing no length at all; this one is on its own at the top.
The maker also says how it arrives: wound on a spool, specifically so it can be measured off, cut and used without the coil turning into a knot that cannot be undone. On a hundred metres that is not a small point, and two other listings on this shelf name their packaging — a card sleeve and a spool.
Nine strands, not seven
Nine inner triple strands — stated, in the title and again in the first bullet. The fourth bullet calls the product nylon paracord 550.
Seven is the count this hub attaches to the 550 designation, and four of the seven listings compared here print a type and a strand count that agree on seven. This page prints nine beside 550 and leaves the two side by side without explanation. It is written down here rather than smoothed over, because the strand count is exactly what the name is supposed to promise — and one other listing on this shelf is less consistent still, giving eleven in its title and nine in its bullets.
Around the strands, the specification is full: 4 mm, a 32-fold braided sheath, and the maker’s claims of UV resistance, colour-fastness and resistance to rot and mould.
The uses the maker lists, and whose they are
The third bullet says the cord serves as a safety rope in emergency situations. The fifth suggests using it as tent line, for securing hammocks, and for hanging heavy items such as bicycles and kayaks in a garage or cellar.
Those sentences are the manufacturer’s and are set down here as the manufacturer’s. This page does not repeat them as guidance. The number they sit next to — 250 kg, published as a breaking load — is a maker’s claim about new, straight, undamaged cord, and not a working load; knots, edges and age all reduce it. Five of the seven listings in this hub print that same 250 kg, so the figure ranks nothing. Paracord is not made to the standards that cover climbing ropes and harnesses, this site covers walking, bivouac and light camping rather than climbing or mountaineering, and what any particular cord is intended for is set out in its maker’s instructions.
