The Mastrant-Q 8mm MQ08100 is a high-strength technical guy rope designed for applications requiring a robust, durable, lightweight and non-conductive solution.

Suitable for guying masts, antennas, light towers and amateur radio structures, the Mastrant-Q range is optimised to offer an excellent performance-to-price ratio while maintaining good mechanical strength, low elongation and reliable outdoor behaviour.

With an approximate 8.3mm diameter, 1700kg breaking strength, 510kg recommended working load and 3.4% elongation, this rope is suitable for installations where mast or antenna movement needs to be controlled with a high safety margin.

Its braided construction with twisted cores, using a polyester and polypropylene core and polyester outer cover, provides good resistance to UV radiation, humidity, abrasion and wear. As a non-conductive rope, it does not directly affect antenna electrical behaviour in the way metal guy wires can.

This item corresponds to code MQ08100, supplied as a 100 metre roll, ideal for permanent installations, towers, larger masts or systems requiring a stronger guy rope.

Important note

Before use, always confirm the real installation load, mast height, number of guying points, applied tension, wind exposure, fixing method, knots, accessories used and environmental conditions.

The recommended working load must be respected and a suitable safety margin should always be maintained. The final strength of the system depends not only on the rope, but also on knots, terminals, tensioners, anchors, guying angles and installation quality.

Avoid sharp edges, continuous rubbing against abrasive surfaces and contact with heat sources. For outdoor installations, periodic inspection of the rope, fixing points and guying accessories is recommended.

This item corresponds to 1 roll of 100 metres of Mastrant-Q 8mm MQ08100 rope. Masts, tensioners, insulators, anchors and other accessories are not included unless expressly stated otherwise.
