What is an Accessory Cord Used For?

Our accessory cord is a small yet strong piece of cord that provides many uses for outdoor enthusiasts. Smaller diameter cords are ideal for simply replacing a broken shoelace, whereas cords with a larger diameter are useful for anchor ropes in construction or mountain climbing. In mountain climbing especially, the accessory cord is a simple component that is an essential part of your safety gear.

Accessory Cord Materials

Polyester Cord

Accessory cords are generally available as either polyester cords or nylon cords.  Polyester cord offers very high tensile strength and low stretch while being both pliant and easy to knot, which is why it makes a great Bungee Shock Cord!  For instance, SGT KNOTS Polyester Reflective Accessory Cord is a perfect polyester cord option for creating campsite boundaries, tent tie-downs, visible trail markers, tarping down a truckload of stuff, or for use at the docks.

Another great polyester rope option for everything from new bootlaces and crafting projects to camping and survival is the polyester-sheathed Spectra Accessory Cord.  This cord was created with a durable polyester cord sheath around a high-strength spectra core 15 times stronger than steel and about 40% stronger than Kevlar.  This super-strong, highly visible all-purpose accessory cord is extremely resistant to abrasion, UV degradation, and cutting, and will repel moisture while floating on the surface of the water. Use this polyester cord for a range of indoor and outdoor activities without fail!

Looking for another great outdoor or marine polyester core option? Dacron Polyester Accessory Cord is it! Calling all landscape and lawn mower businesses! If you are looking for a strong and reliable pull cord option to go the extra mile, SGT KNOTS Dacron Polyester Pull Cord is up for the challenge.

Nylon Cord

Nylon Accessory Cord is another popular accessory cord material choice that is resistant to abrasion while offering low stretch and great shock absorption.  Unlike polyester cord, nylon cord absorbs water, making it a better accessory cord option for land rather than at sea.  You will often find that nylon is used to create Paracord and both braided and twisted rope options for a variety of applications.  SGT KNOTS carries a great selection of military-grade Nylon Rope and cord products to best suit your needs.

FAQs about Accessory Cord

What is the accessory cord used for?

Accessory cord is a strong, versatile rope designed for outdoor gear, tie-downs, tent lines, and everyday utility projects. Many people also use an accessory cord for camping, crafting, and as a lightweight backup for a climbing cord.

What is the difference between nylon and polyester cord?

Nylon cord is flexible, strong, and absorbs shock, making it ideal for climbing cords and outdoor gear. Polyester cord has lower stretch, better UV resistance, and long-lasting durability, especially in marine or harsh outdoor environments.

How do I choose the right size accessory cord?

Accessory cord comes in different diameters. Thinner rope (2–4 mm) works best for lashing and crafts, while thicker cord (5–8 mm) is better for camping and climbing systems. Always choose the rope size based on the strength required for your project.

Is the accessory cord safe for climbing?

Accessory cord is commonly used for knots, prusiks, and anchors as a secondary climbing cord. However, it should never replace a certified climbing rope when your safety is at risk.

Can I buy an accessory cord by foot or in bulk?

Yes, accessory cord is available by the foot, by the meter, or in bulk spools. Buying rope in bulk is cost-effective for outdoor use, DIY projects, and anyone who frequently needs strong nylon or polyester cord.

Does the accessory cord hold up in outdoor weather?

Yes. Polyester cord is especially resistant to UV rays and abrasion, making it one of the best ropes for outdoor use. Nylon cord is also durable, but it absorbs water and may stretch more in wet conditions.
