can us use vinyl coated cable instead of rope?

I would use the nylon rope supplied , it's easyer to bend around the pulleys

This is a single strand wire coated with vinyl. Seems to be very strong and easy to work with. I noticed that the green color will fade in the sun to a silver grey if that matters. A braided wire would be stronger but would cost a lot more money. I made four lines from a 100 ft. package to divide the work load and this works fine!

I know my network cables. I assume you are using stranded wire? Most reels of CAT5 I've used are not designed for the kind of uses where you wind them up frequently. This thing bends the wire a lot which is fine for cables designed to do that. The thinner wire will probably grip quite well and being PVC covered it'll be just like a small power cable.

to &#8540; inch should work fine...but it might be difficult getting the proper tension with rope over cable...

I suspose, but you would have to run the cable through a block and tackle or a pully to keep from kinking the cable.

Hi I really dont think it would be a good idea. the rope is very slick and unless it has lots of wear and tear on it I dont think it would be a good idea. im using my rope now for about a month and its still pretty smooth. i would suggest getting a rope thay frays. hope this was helpful

Hi Mark, thank you for your interest in Defender. It is recommended that you protect your cable connections from the elements by running them in conduit. We have had several customers in the past wrap the connections with electrical tape to protect them.

No. I would not recommend burying this cable. In my opinion the outer covering is only meant to be used above ground

This water proof cable could easily be cut by a shovel as it is quite thin. The PVC will add another layer of protection and warning should some be digging unaware. I laid the full 100 feet along a fence line and put it inside a continuos piece of flexible PVC conduit. The environment is pretty wet (Seattle).

The cable is 3/16" I've had the cable out 40' and still had plenty on the spool. I see no reason why the cable couldn't be replaced with nylon rope.

I used nails. Tacked the top rope and then wrapped it tightly around the post. It was a two person operation for us. Wear gloves and in a garage or some place like that.

If the height is adjusted correctly yes. But keep in mind that once the rope is adjusted, done by severing the existing cable, the height can only be adjusted from there to accommodate a shorter person.

No. But you could likely use a large hook with nails on each side - like the kind used for cables.

They are plastic/vinyl. Add more weights? You can as there is room for more and the cables claim to be tolerant to 2000 lbs, but I would refer that question to impex-fitness.com customer service to be sure it's safe.

Agree with below responses. It is difficult to work with. It does NOT tie like string as it advertises. I would use wire or other line meant to hold 100 lbs.

Yes it can. I have and still do use it for cables. Fine slippery coating stops rusting and makes actuation quicker and smoother.

We got other rope that was stronger than what came with it and never really used the ones they sent. lI don't know if you can get them from the manufacturer.
