More information is needed really as the answer depends hugely on the application. For example, yes you could tow a friends broken down car with a steel cable of equal strength to the nylon tow rope. ....but not, you could not replace a nylon rope used to moor a boat with (untreated) steel cable as it wuold rust. Nylon rope also has some "give" in it, allowing it to absorb some shock as tension is taken, it is also an excellent insulator. Steel has almost no give at all and is a fairly good conductor (though not brilliant when efficient conduction is required). So it depends massively on your application - all answers from "absolutely not" to "it would be even better" can appy. Mark
Using 6x19 fiber core steel rope, you need only 1/4" which has a breaking strength of 6,020 pounds. Each cable must be able to support the full weight of the load; however, shock loading also needs to be considered. With this in mind you should use 1/2" steel rope (23,600 pound) to lift/suspend this load.

Yeah you can. It's better to use the plastic blockers that come on the rope, But it won't hurt your rope to use wire blocks.
Steel wire is commonly known as wire rope. Several layers of metal wire are twisted to form a rope. Steel is the main material used in wire rope today. The product was developed in the 1830's and was primarily used in mining when applications that could lift and hoist weights in elevators were essential.
You can buy steel wire rope online at Amazon.com. Most of the other corporations do not have purchasing available online. You can visit Amazon's Cable & Wire Rope section here: http://www.amazon.com/b?ie=UTF8&node=16413891.

There are multiple options to prevent rope ends from fraying and splitting. The most commonly used is a process known as whipping. This involves wrapping twine at the ends of the rope and secure them among themselves.

Density of steel is taken as 7850 kg/cum. Hence unit weight of 50mm dia steel rope will be approximately 15.42 kg/m.

Nylon is a commonly used material in rope because it is exceptionally strong and rope and wire are basicly the same thing. So pretty much it just means making rope out of nylon.
The world's longest rope is the Bandalasta-rope which is made from a fibrous material with a length of 8373 meters.
