7 EYE SPLICE IN DYNEEMA ROPES

The principle of a Dyneema eye is a core-to-core splice, in which a length of at least 60 times the diameter of the rope is taken back into itself. Several sources recommend using 50–70 times the diameter for coated Dyneema. DSM advises using 60 times the diameter for coated Dyneema, and 100 times the diameter for uncoated Dyneema. For a 6mm coated rope that would mean 36cm.

If you want to splice in a stainless steel thimble with Dyneema, you need a thimble that is closed on the narrow side. It is not possible to crush this thimble so it can withstand much higher forces.
