How should I rate this cable with safety regulations, I do not know, and indeed not at all. This is where my criticism:
(1) Abus has not, as usual, assign a security level for his Cobras. One can guess this only.
(2) "12mm steel cable" or "10mm steel cable" is an outright deception, what I had but I already thought so. Of course, is counted in this figure the plastic sheath. What is really interesting but the strength of the steel cable inside it, and that is not on-destrukitve manner undetectable. I guess 8mm maximum. Therefore, I also have the "12mm" chosen design.
(3) 120cm is for connecting a bicycle (incl. Front and rear) rather too short. 150cm would be OK, but there is not. 200cm There are only in the - in my opinion, ridiculous - diameter of 10mm.
I would like more spent on a loop cable which is longer and a defined security standard is sufficient and has a guaranteed steel diameter of at least 10mm. It would be nice if there were more options to choose from here, and if the customer would also have a Abus security level as a selection criterion.
At the processing there is nothing to complain about, and of course it is correspondingly easy what angehem. The price is cheap. I'll keep the cord, anti-theft protection in low risk of theft situations. But as said at the beginning, I would have expected more from Abus.
