Most paracord, including virtually everything else offered by this seller, is ~3/8" diameter, yet the description here says 1/8". Is this a typo?

The specs on 550 paracord is closer to 3/16". I think the technical specs for 550 paracord are 4.3 mm or 0.169". This is very close to a standard size paracord, but may be a tiny bit thicker than china made paracord. It is not 3/8"

It's either a typo or someone was heavy handed with a pair of calipers for measurement. I've ordered 100' sections to 1000' spools from them and everything has been exactly what I expected. 3/8 sounds a little big for a measurement to me but I haven't ever actually checked the diameter. Either way it's the same diameter as all other 550 paracord I've worked with and seemed better quality than some others I've found.

I believe that the 3/8 is usually the buckle size used. There is a size difference in 550 & 450 paracord!!

One point of confusion here is that the description had this as a 5.5mm x 2.1mm, but, the photo has the embedded text indicating it is a "DC 5.5/2.5mm". Both are a common size of connector. Not claiming an answer to the question here, just pointing out a spot of confusion.

Yes 1/4" and 3/8" refers to hose size not connector. Larger hose just flows air better. I actually have both and it works well with either one. But I am not a contractor doing speed work. Your compressors ability to keep up will be more noticeable than hose size.

4mm is correct. the 1inch is probably for shipping concerns or because the form they were using only allowed inches and the smallest being 1" The product is actually only 4mm in thickness.

Engineer here: definitely not 1/8". I am not sure how the other are measuring. I am getting 0.059" to 0.063" with a digital caliper which puts it close to 1/16".

I believe this is a typo on Amazon's page. Manufacturer's website shows 3 5/8" bolt circle.

The steel cable is 1/16" diameter. But the outside diameter of the vinyl coating is 3/32". I purchased cable clamps of sizes 1/16" which fiit fine, even a bit extra big. I would not purchase the cable clamps described as covering ranges 3/32" to 1/8" because they are way too big.

No.This one is 3/8". I did order a 1/2" one from Amazon earlier but I can't remember the seller"s name. Very similar product, one is just thicker than the other.

I used a digital vernier on 4 random pieces and got 0.22-0.23 in i.d. or 5.7-5.8 mm i.d., Atlantco "7-strand" 550 paracord is roughly 0.15 in o.d. or 3.8 mm o.d. for example (compresses too easily to get a vernier on) so regulation paracord easily passses thru the holes.

I just measured mine to make sure and it is 1 3/8", I think it may have shrunk or stretched a bit over the almost two years I've used it as I seem to remember it being 1 1/2" when it was new. This is not to say that they're all the same. Mine carries quite a load but has held up well.

no , the dia. is smaller . but this tough-grid 750 paracord is probaly more that the strenth you need, for a small dia. cord .

The diameter is 19/32" at the end (1/4" plastic cap). The entire end piece appears to be brass, a total of about 2 1/2" long including the plastic cap. The leading 3/4" is about 9/16" diameter. The next 1 1/4" is about 1/2" diameter. The last 3/8" tapers down to about 9/32" diameter. The cable is about 3/16" diameter. "More than you ever wanted to know", I guess.

Everything works fine with the 750lb paracord except the notches to tie off/lock the cord. The cord is too big for those notches.

Laura. This string is very strong, but it is nowhere near 1/8 inch thick. More like 1/32" thick! To get that type of thickness, you are going to have to go to shock cord, or parachute cord. I deal with cording and string all of the time, and I have yet to find any cotton, hemp, or nylon string in that thickness! Here is a link to 1/8 inch string, or cord, here on Amazon.

We don't splice our Paracord anywhere. That said; our 1000 Footers "May come in up-to two sections." It sometimes happens but we avoid it. All of our other lengths 50, 100, 200 and 500Ft. are guaranteed continuous with no splices. Bill... TOUGH-GRID

The diameter of the spool the roll is on is 3/8 inch, as the other answer indicates, the roll with tape is 2 3/4".

Biggest I go with is 3/32" cable and sleeves so not sure about 1/8". I don't think so, though. It's nice and portable for what we do. Next step up you're going with the big swagers. This fits in a belt or bucket.
