The cable comes packaged beautifully curled. Almost a little too elaborate with additional plastic wrap on the red ends. When you open the package, then fast everything apart. So the rope in addition behaves quite rigid and stubborn. Loose pooling is not possible, you have to fix it somehow always to keep it folded flat. Guess that is with all these ropes that. It affects otherwise high-quality and stable. I tested the strength of course not. One should always expect that you can cut through a rope with Flex or bolt cutters so and it does not provide 100% security. After all, but it should be sufficient for a theft insurance.
