The spliced end is protected with a strong transparent protective covering sleeve, which not only protects the splicing but also makes the splicing visible for easy inspection before use
The loops at the end are protected by an abrasion-resistant thimble, which prevents the rope from being damaged by the metallic contact of the connector
The rope also has a colored tracer strand (age indicator) which loses its color in due course of time, to show that the lanyard is now unfit for further use
They are available in lengths 1.0m, 1.5m, 1.8m, and 2.0m
