Petzl Low Stretch Kernmantel Rope 200 m Black, NFPA
The Petzl VECTOR 12.5 mm Low Stretch Kernmantel Rope is a high-strength rope designed for professional rescue applications where dependable handling, strength, and controlled elongation are essential. Its large diameter provides a substantial grip when managing heavy loads, while its low-stretch construction helps improve efficiency and precision during rope-based operations.
This version features a 200 m length and black sheath and is identified by Petzl reference R078BA14. The rope uses a nylon core and polyester sheath, with a construction designed to limit compression when heavily loaded. Petzl's EverFlex technology helps maintain flexibility and handling characteristics over time and in conditions such as water, dust, and mud.

Built for Professional Rescue
The VECTOR 12.5 mm is designed specifically for rescue professionals. Its large diameter provides a secure, substantial grip while delivering the strength required for handling heavy loads.
The rope combines a nylon core with a polyester sheath using a construction intended to limit compression under load. Its low elongation supports efficient handling and greater precision when progressing on rope or managing loaded rescue systems.
EverFlex Technology
Petzl's EverFlex technology is designed to preserve flexibility and handling characteristics over time. The rope is intended to maintain consistent handling under a range of conditions, including exposure to water, dust, and mud.
This flexibility is beneficial when the rope is used with compatible equipment and devices, helping provide predictable handling during professional rope operations.
Strength and Low-Stretch Performance
The VECTOR 12.5 mm has a published 45 kN strength and 2.4% static elongation. Petzl specifies a 25 kN strength when tied with a figure-eight knot and 34 kN with a sewn termination.
Additional published test values include an impact force of 5.4 kN at factor 0.3 and more than 20 factor-1 falls under the manufacturer's specified test conditions. These figures describe the rope's tested characteristics and should not be interpreted as the safety rating of an entire rescue system.
200 m Black Configuration
The 200 m black VECTOR 12.5 mm is identified by Petzl as R078BA14. Petzl's current metric reference table lists the 200 m VECTOR 12.5 mm in white, yellow, black, blue, red, and orange.
The black sheath provides a distinct color option for organizations that manage multiple ropes or equipment configurations and want clear visual differentiation.
Typical Applications
The Petzl VECTOR 12.5 mm 200 m rope is designed for professional applications such as:
Technical rescue
High-angle rescue
Confined-space rescue
Rope rescue systems
Professional rescue training
Heavy-load handling
Extended rope-system configurations
Applications requiring a certified low-stretch rope
The rope should always be evaluated as part of the complete system, including anchors, compatible equipment, knots or terminations, loads, environmental conditions, and operating procedures.

Certifications and Standards
The VECTOR 12.5 mm is listed with the following certifications and standards:
CE EN 1891 Type A
NFPA 2500 General Use
Cordage Institute 1801 Low Stretch
XF 494
These certifications and standards apply to the specified rope configuration. They should not be interpreted as certification of an entire rescue system, since overall system safety also depends on compatible equipment, anchors, connections, operating procedures, and user training.
Available Lengths and Colors
Petzl currently lists the metric VECTOR 12.5 mm range in 50 m, 100 m, and 200 m standard lengths, with a 500 m white configuration also listed. The 50 m, 100 m, and 200 m sizes are available in white, yellow, black, blue, red, and orange.
Petzl also indicates that customized rope lengths can be ordered on request, allowing configurations to be tailored to particular professional requirements.
Inspection and Maintenance
The VECTOR 12.5 mm is professional life-safety equipment and should be inspected and maintained according to Petzl's instructions. Before use, inspect the rope for abnormal wear, sheath damage, contamination, deformation, or other conditions that could affect its performance.
Petzl provides a technical notice, declaration of conformity, PPE inspection procedure, PPE checklist, and maintenance guidance for the VECTOR rope.
Safety Note
This rope is intended for trained and competent users. Always follow the manufacturer's instructions and use the rope within the limitations of the complete rescue system.
Do not judge system safety from rope strength alone. Anchors, compatible hardware, knots, terminations, loading conditions, environmental factors, inspection history, and user training all contribute to the safety and performance of the complete system.
