## How to buy

- **Build a cart:** compose `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link?items=GB-2908-0100-0005:1` (comma-separated SKU:qty pairs) and share the link. Opening it shows a confirmation page with live pricing and stock before anything is added to the cart.
- **Verify the cart first:** fetch `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link/GB-2908-0100-0005:1.md` for live line prices (inc & exc GST, quantity discounts applied), stock and dispatch estimates, and totals. Append `/to/{AU-postcode}` (or `/to/{country-code}:{postcode}`) before `.md` for delivery options and prices to that destination. Unknown, retired, or out-of-stock SKUs are flagged. (Query form `cart/link.md?items=...` also works but some robots parsers refuse query strings here.)
- **Checkout** is completed on-site and includes a captcha at the payment step. Share the cart link; checkout takes it from there.
- **Search the catalogue:** `https://core-electronics.com.au/search/{query}.md` (URL-encode the query; pages 2-3 at `search/{query}/{page}.md`; `search.md?q=` also works)

## Description

This synthetic cable only measures 1mm in diameter, but it's capable of holding up to 45kg! Wind it around a spool to create a winch, connect it to a flap on an r/c airplane, attach it to an animatronic skeleton's phalanges, or tie to a robot's grappling hook—just to name a few use-cases.

The cable has very little memory, which means you can wind it tight, kink it, or run it around a corner without worrying about it holding that shape in the future.

### Tech Tips

Tying a knot can reduce a line’s weight-bearing capacity. When you tie a knot, you create stress concentrations that can weaken the line and make it more prone to breaking.

The reduction in line strength is inversely proportional to the knot’s “knot strength,” which is a knot’s ability to preserve line strength. (This is also known as “knot efficiency.”) The Palomar knot and the Uni knot, for example, are known for their high knot strength, which provides a lower chance of line breakage than knots of weaker knot strength.
