Braided ropes have a round, smooth construction that tends to level somewhat on a supporting surface. This distributes wear over a much larger area, as opposed to the crowns of three strands.

3 or 4 threads are the oldest and simplest rope structure, consisting of 3 or 4 twisted threads laid together. Twisted construction can retain some torque and therefore they tend to bend and rotate under load. Twisted ropes are strong and easily spliced.

Ropes of 8 ropes, also called square knit or braided, are constructed with left and right laid threads to obtain a rope without torque. They can be easily spliced and provide a good rope structure for mooring ropes

The 12-thread ropes are constructed with left and right threads to ensure a balanced torque-free construction. Its circular shape provides excellent abrasion resistance due to the larger contact surface and can offer higher fracture toughness than conventional designs. They can be easily spliced and provide a good rope structure for mooring ropes
