Is it 12 or 14 MM?

Hello. 7/16" equals roughly a bit over 11mm. 12mm is 1/2"

I know what the metric equivalent of 7/16ths is. That wasn't the question. Alph's website says it makes 10-12-14 mm ropes. No 7/16. So what's the answer to the question.

The answer : the rope is actually 7/16" as was marked on spool I purchased in 2014. The was to spec for a Maine boat builder. I bought it as surplus 660 feet. I paid $1052 for the spool. I used half for halyards on my Crealock 34. It is a very fine product with a Dynema blended core. Hope this helps.
