{"product_id":"rothco-swat-static-rappelling-rope","title":"Rothco SWAT Static Rappelling Rope","description":"\u003cp class=\"product-lead\"\u003eThe Rothco SWAT Rappelling Rope is a static rescue and tactical rope built for civilian and governmental teams requiring a load-rated, standards-compliant line. Constructed from 100% polyester with a braided poly sheath, it carries a tensile strength rating of 7,660 pounds and meets OSHA, ANSI, and NFPA standards. It is available in two lengths: 150 feet and 200 feet, both at 7\/16-inch diameter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eBuilt to Standards That Matter in the Field\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Rothco SWAT Rappelling Rope meets OSHA, ANSI, and NFPA standards, the benchmarks that rescue teams, rope-access professionals, and tactical units are required to work within. A rated tensile strength of 7,660 pounds means the rope is engineered with a load margin appropriate for life-safety applications, not just general utility use. For teams that must document compliance before a mission or inspection, having a rope that meets these named standards removes a common procurement obstacle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eSheath Construction for Harsh Conditions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe braided poly sheath on the Rothco SWAT Rappelling Rope resists heat, chemicals, and abrasion. A sheath that holds up under friction and chemical exposure extends the working life of the rope and keeps the load-bearing core protected during repeated use over rough surfaces, concrete edges, or metal hardware.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eConsistent Diameter Across Both Lengths\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt 7\/16 inches in diameter, the Rothco SWAT Rappelling Rope is sized to work with standard rappelling hardware and descenders. Both the 150-foot and 200-foot variants share this diameter, so teams can add a longer rope to their kit without changing their rigging setup or retraining on different hardware compatibility.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTensile Strength:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rated to 7,660 pounds of tensile strength\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStandards Compliance:\u003c\/strong\u003e Meets OSHA, ANSI, and NFPA standards\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e 100% polyester construction with braided poly sheath\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSheath Resistance:\u003c\/strong\u003e Resists heat, chemicals, and abrasion\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDiameter:\u003c\/strong\u003e 7\/16 inches across both length variants\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/strong\u003e Made in the USA\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\u003e150 ft Variant\u003c\/th\u003e\n      \u003cth\u003e200 ft Variant\u003c\/th\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/thead\u003e\n  \u003ctbody\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eSKU\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eRTC-279\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eRTC-272\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eLength\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e150 feet\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e200 feet\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eDiameter\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e7\/16 inch\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e7\/16 inch\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd colspan=\"2\"\u003e100% Polyester\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eSheath\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd colspan=\"2\"\u003eBraided poly sheath\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eTensile Strength\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd colspan=\"2\"\u003e7,660 lbs\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eStandards\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd colspan=\"2\"\u003eOSHA, ANSI, NFPA\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eRope Type\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd colspan=\"2\"\u003eStatic\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eWeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e11.3 lb\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e14.14 lb\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eCountry of Origin\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd colspan=\"2\"\u003eUSA\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\"\u003eThe Rothco SWAT Rappelling Rope suits rescue teams, tactical units, rope-access professionals, and training programs that require a static rope meeting OSHA, ANSI, and NFPA standards.

This rating reflects the rope's load capacity under tension and is relevant to life-safety rigging applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 class=\"product-faq-q\"\u003eIs this a static or dynamic rope, and does that distinction matter?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-faq-a\"\u003eThe Rothco SWAT Rappelling Rope is a static rope, meaning it has minimal stretch under load. Static ropes are the correct choice for rappelling, rescue lowering, and descent operations. They are not appropriate for lead climbing or fall-arrest applications, which require a dynamic rope designed to absorb impact through elongation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 class=\"product-faq-q\"\u003eWhat is the rope made of?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-faq-a\"\u003eThe Rothco SWAT Rappelling Rope is constructed from 100% polyester.
