Petzl VECTOR 12.5 mm Low Stretch Kernmantel Rope – Yellow, 100 m, NFPA
The Petzl VECTOR 12.5 mm is a high-strength, low-stretch kernmantle rope designed for professional rescue work and applications involving heavy loads. Its large 12.5 mm diameter provides a secure, comfortable grip, while its low elongation helps improve efficiency when hauling, lowering, or progressing on rope.
This 100 m yellow version (Petzl R078AA10) uses a nylon core and polyester sheath with Petzl's EverFlex construction, providing consistent flexibility and handling even when exposed to conditions such as water, dust, and mud. The yellow color also makes the rope easy to distinguish when organizing multiple ropes or rescue systems.
Key Features
High-strength rescue rope – Developed for professional rescue applications and heavy-load handling.
12.5 mm diameter – Provides excellent grip and helps make the rope easier to control during demanding operations.
Low-stretch construction – Low elongation improves efficiency and control when working with loads.
EverFlex technology – Helps maintain flexibility and consistent handling throughout the rope's service life and across varying conditions.
Nylon core and polyester sheath – The kernmantle construction combines a load-bearing core with a durable outer sheath.
Reduced rope compression – The specific construction helps limit compression when the rope is subjected to heavy loads.
Yellow color – Provides clear visual identification in rescue and rope-access equipment systems.
100 m length – Suitable for applications requiring substantial working length without the need for a shorter rope configuration.
NFPA certified – Meets NFPA 2500 General Use requirements in addition to European certification.
Designed for Professional Rescue
VECTOR is specifically positioned by Petzl as a rope for rescue professionals. Its large diameter and high strength make it particularly appropriate when handling substantial loads, while its low elongation helps provide precise and efficient rope movement.
The rope's construction is also designed to limit compression under load. This helps maintain more predictable handling when used with compatible rescue equipment such as descenders, pulleys, and other rope-system devices.
EverFlex Construction
Petzl's EverFlex technology uses a nylon core with a specially woven polyester sheath. The construction is intended to preserve flexibility over time and under demanding environmental conditions, including exposure to water, dust, and mud.
For rescue teams, this consistent handling can be especially useful when the rope is repeatedly deployed, stored, and used with compatible mechanical devices.
