Most paracord, including virtually everything else offered by this seller, is ~3/8" diameter, yet the description here says 1/8". Is this a typo?

The specs on 550 paracord is closer to 3/16". I think the technical specs for 550 paracord are 4.3 mm or 0.169". This is very close to a standard size paracord, but may be a tiny bit thicker than china made paracord. It is not 3/8"

It's either a typo or someone was heavy handed with a pair of calipers for measurement. I've ordered 100' sections to 1000' spools from them and everything has been exactly what I expected. 3/8 sounds a little big for a measurement to me but I haven't ever actually checked the diameter. Either way it's the same diameter as all other 550 paracord I've worked with and seemed better quality than some others I've found.

I believe that the 3/8 is usually the buckle size used. There is a size difference in 550 & 450 paracord!!

Easy to pick up from a hardware store. I think it's 3/8" but compare to a section of your existing cord when buying and check the WLL of the new cord.

If I measured correctly, it is 3/8ths of an inch. If I measured incorrectly, I'd say it is 1/4 inch. [Wow, I just looked at another answer, and it measured much larger than I did. Mine is from the wall to the outside of the plug, but does not include the slight hump where the actual cord comes off the plug. Still, I measure no more than 1/2".]

So that I could get a diameter that worked, I ordered the package of three. I don't know the diameter that I ended up using, but it probably is the 7/8" diameter. Mine has ridges on the side.

Diameter of the rope...sorta. I got the 1/8" ones and the rope is just a little thicker than 1/8", more like 3/16". I have seen the 1/4" ones in a store and they were almost 3/8" thick.

I would say it's in between. Very good quality, easy to work with and most important to anyone crafting with Paracord, it splices very good. I have never had any problems with Paracord Planet cord.

When I ordered quantity 1 was just 1. The 3 in the description refers to the distance (3 inches) between the attachment points.

It's pretty thin, about an inch wide without the paracord. I ended up just making a wooden handle for it. It has 2 holes in the tang, so you won't have to drill them out yourself.

Specs are listed in the product details. Hit MORE details to see it. Thread size is listed there too (1/8" NPT)

It has a pretty strong spring so it will go down to a small size. My max size is 1/8 for shock cord. When you melt / char the end of the chord to prevent it's unraveling, the melted end will barely pass through the lock, so I would say 1/8 is about max. I tried a heat shrinkable cap on the end, but it would not pass through the lock. I have used the locks on regular elastic shoe laces before I bought the shock cord. Even when the elastic inside the shoe lace had broken, and just the braided outer cover was all that was holding, the lock still held and prevented the lace from slipping. These are the strongest springs in this type of cord lock I have encountered.

The webbing I am using actually measures 1 3/8 inches and the connection hardware measures 1 inch. Hope this helps. If not give me another holler....glad to assist!RBW

Lisa, I didn't ask what the paracord diameter was, I asked if I should double check the 100' measurement of my order, as several people have come up 7-10 feet short on their 100' orders. But thanks for the info, I appreciate it! JT.

This one is 1/8", which is the same as 3.5mm. If you need 1/4", I recommend either buying a 1/8" to 1/4" converter along with this (if you foresee a need for 1/8") or buying a different cable.

No.This one is 3/8". I did order a 1/2" one from Amazon earlier but I can't remember the seller"s name. Very similar product, one is just thicker than the other.

Thank you for your interest in our products. For the 3/16" size, the thread length is 3 1/2" and for the 1/8" size, the length is 3 1/8". The only restriction is our warning that these fittings are not to be used for lifting or hoisting purposes, but are intended for use in architectural railing systems. Customers do use these fittings in a variety of applications and properly swaged fittings can approach the breaking strength of the wire rope, but is dependent on many factors. To be assured a cable assembly will meet a certain working load, you would need to go to a rigging company to proof test the assembly. Thanks Eric 888-686-7245

Depends on your overal length being used. Under weight, 550 paracord can stretch 1" per foot...slightly more if wet.

This one was 1 3/8" long, but I'm pretty sure that they make them 1 3/4" as well. I think when we bought these, we debated about the longer one.
