{"product_id":"rothco-nylon-paracord-550lb-600ft-spool","title":"Rothco Nylon Paracord 550 lb 600 ft Spool","description":"\u003cp class=\"product-lead\"\u003eRothco's Nylon Paracord is a 100% nylon, 7-strand core parachute cord rated to 550 lbs of tested strength, supplied on a 600-foot spool. Manufactured in the USA by a certified U.S. Government Contractor, it is available in Black and Olive Drab and measures 5\/32 inch in diameter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eBuilt for Load and Repeated Use\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 7-strand inner core gives this paracord its 550 lb tested strength rating, distributing tension across multiple strands rather than a single braid. That construction means the cord resists fraying and maintains integrity under sustained load, making it useful when securing heavy gear, rigging a tarp, or lashing equipment where a single-strand failure would matter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eLightweight Enough to Carry in Quantity\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt 5\/32 inch diameter and made entirely from nylon, this paracord is light relative to its rated strength. A 600-foot spool gives a camper, hiker, or preparedness-minded buyer enough cord to handle multiple simultaneous tasks (shelter lines, gear ties, and a reserve length) without meaningful pack weight added. Nylon also resists moisture better than natural-fiber cordage, which matters when the cord stays rigged overnight or in wet conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eEnough Length for Projects and Contingencies\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSix hundred feet is substantially more than a typical single-use field length. That surplus makes this spool practical for crafting uses such as bracelets, keychains, and handle wraps, as well as for cutting and distributing lengths to multiple kits or team members. Having cord to spare means not rationing during a project or an unplanned situation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e550 lb tested strength:\u003c\/strong\u003e 7-strand nylon core tested to hold up to 550 lbs.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e100% nylon construction:\u003c\/strong\u003e Lightweight, moisture-resistant, and durable under rugged use.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e5\/32 inch diameter:\u003c\/strong\u003e Standard paracord diameter, compatible with common cord accessories and tools.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e600-foot spool:\u003c\/strong\u003e Generous length for field use, crafting, and reserve supply.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMade in the USA:\u003c\/strong\u003e Manufactured by a certified U.S. Government Contractor.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTwo color options:\u003c\/strong\u003e Available in Black and Olive Drab.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n  \u003cthead\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003cth\u003eSpecification\u003c\/th\u003e\n      \u003cth\u003eDetail\u003c\/th\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/thead\u003e\n  \u003ctbody\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e100% Nylon\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eCore construction\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e7-strand\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eTested strength\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e550 lb\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eDiameter\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e5\/32 inch\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eLength per spool\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e600 feet\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eWeight per spool\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e2.75 lb\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eAvailable colors\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eBlack, Olive Drab\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eOrigin\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eMade in the USA\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWho This Is For and Isn't\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-fit-yes\"\u003eThis spool suits campers, hikers, hunters, and preparedness-minded buyers who want a large quantity of general-purpose 550 lb paracord on hand for shelter rigging, gear securing, crafting, or kit building. The 600-foot length makes it practical for both field use and cutting down into smaller working lengths.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-fit-no\"\u003eThis is a general-purpose utility cord, not a rated climbing rope or load-bearing life-safety line. The 550 lb figure is a tested tensile strength, not a working load limit for overhead or life-safety applications. Buyers needing certified climbing or rescue rope should look for equipment rated and certified for those specific uses.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCommon Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"product-faq-q\"\u003eWhat does the 550 lb rating mean?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-faq-a\"\u003eThe 550 lb figure is the tested tensile strength of this paracord's 7-strand nylon core: the load at which the cord was tested before breaking. It is not a working load limit. For life-safety or overhead lifting applications, a rated and certified rope designed for those uses is required. For camping, gear securing, and crafting, the 550 lb tested strength indicates a robust, reliable cord.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 class=\"product-faq-q\"\u003eIs this paracord suitable for making bracelets and keychains?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-faq-a\"\u003eYes. Bracelet and keychain crafting are listed uses for this paracord. At 5\/32 inch diameter and 600 feet per spool, there is ample length for multiple crafting projects alongside field use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 class=\"product-faq-q\"\u003eWhat colors are available?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-faq-a\"\u003eThis Rothco paracord spool is available in Black and Olive Drab.
