Wire rope, Dedra Thomsen, resistance 5.65 Ω/m, length 10 m

Dedra Thomsen wire rope, 10 m length, with a specified linear electrical resistance of 5.65 Ω per meter. This conductive wire rope is supplied as a continuous 10 m length and is intended for applications that require a predictable resistive element along a flexible metallic cable. The product is presented as a length of conductive rope suitable for integration in laboratory experiments, prototyping, low-current resistive loads, educational demonstrations, or other setups where linear resistance and mechanical flexibility are both required.

Advantages

The uniform resistance of 5.65 Ω/m provides predictable electrical behaviour along the rope, simplifying calculations for voltage drop and current flow. Delivered as a single continuous 10 m length, the rope allows cutting to custom sizes without altering the specified per-meter resistance. Its rope form gives mechanical flexibility for routing and mechanical fastening in experimental rigs and prototypes. The construction yields a conductive path that can serve both as a resistive element and as a flexible connector where a specific linear resistance is advantageous.

Suitable for

• Electrical grounding experiments and demonstrations
• Resistive load setups and low-current testing
• Prototyping where predictable linear resistance is needed
• Educational labs and training exercises
• Custom cable assemblies requiring a known resistance per meter

Key specifications

• Linear electrical resistance: 5.65 Ω per meter
• Total length: 10 m (continuous)
• Form factor: flexible wire rope / cable
• Typical use: conductive, resistive element for low-current applications

How to use

Measure and cut the rope to the desired length; the specified resistance scales linearly with length (multiply 5.65 Ω by the length in metres to estimate resistance). Strip or prepare the rope ends as required for electrical contact using appropriate tools and ensure secure mechanical and electrical connections. When integrating into circuits, account for contact resistance at terminations and any additional connectors. Use appropriate insulation or routing to avoid unintended short circuits and to protect the rope from mechanical damage.

Usage recommendations

For safe and reliable operation, use the rope in low-current applications consistent with its resistive nature. Avoid exposure to high currents or temperatures that could alter resistance or damage the rope. Verify connections with a multimeter after installation and consider protective insulation and strain relief at connection points to maintain consistent electrical and mechanical performance.
