  • Chain and Wire Rope (FSC 4010): This includes various types of metal chains and wire ropes used for lifting, securing, and anchoring purposes. Examples include:
    • Lifting slings for heavy machinery
    • Tow cables for vehicles
    • Mooring lines for ships
    • Security chains for fencing
  • Fiber Rope, Cordage, and Twine (FSC 4020): This sub-group covers natural and synthetic fiber ropes used for various applications, such as:
    • Mooring lines for smaller boats
    • Marine rigging
    • Scaffolding ropes
    • Decorative ropes
  • Fittings for Rope, Cable, and Chain (FSC 4030): This category includes the hardware used to connect, terminate, and secure ropes, cables, and chains. Examples include:
