Thanks for your reply Andy The reason I was interested in this rope was the possibility of going for a smaller diameter with the same strenght thus allowing me to put more on the standard drum, and not having the modify the winch drum to take an acceptable amount of 11/12 mm cable.
I agree about the cables not lasting forever and I have used most ropes on the market including Plasma, dyneema etc, all are good when new but with time and usage they deteriorate and break. Usually we tend to replace the rope after they break once as I have found once they start breaking then its usually the end and I have no confidence in the rope.
