What is the typical capacity of a properly sized Crosby clip?

The typical capacity of a properly sized Crosby clip equals the load of the rope. This is based on the design and engineering of the clip, which is specifically made to secure a rope while maintaining the same strength as the rope itself. Crosby clips, when correctly sized and installed, are intended to handle the load that the rope can carry without compromising the overall strength of the system.

Crosby clips are made from high-quality materials and undergo rigorous testing to ensure they can sustain loads equal to the rope's rated capacity. Proper application involves selecting a clip that matches the rope’s diameter and follows the manufacturer's recommendations for loading and installation.

This ensures that the efficiency of the rope’s strength is preserved at the point of termination. The other choices would not accurately describe the operational capacities of a Crosby clip: stating that it has no capacity limit could imply unsafe usage, while suggesting it is always 50% weaker than the rope lacks foundational support in design and engineering principles.
