I'm rather out of my depth in speleology - expect more questions!

Static rope yyyyy
Véritable fusion entre l’âme et la gaine, en cas de coupure ou de déchirure, elle reste
solidaire.
Static rope zzzzz
Sa conception est inspirée de la technologie des élagueurs américains.
Sheath slippage
The core (kern) and sheath (mantel) of the rope are two independent components, which, if the construction is not carefully matched, have a tendency to dislocate and slide against each other. Under the effect of a descender the sheath deforms and little by little it bunches, creating a slack zone around the core and bulge points, known as the ***sock effect***. This effect results in more rapid wear, particularly when top roping or other intensive use, and it also risks jamming in descenders or belay devices. The Sheath Slippage test is the only test parameter for which the EuroNorm requirement differs from that of the UIAA. After pulling 2 metres of rope through a designated constriction, the European Standard requires that the sheath slippage should be less than 40 mm, or 2%, whilst the UIAA standard is more severe, requiring a value less than 20mm, or 1%.
The core and the sheath of the rope are two independent components which have a tendency, if the construction is not carefully matched,

The sheath deforms and little by little under the effect of the descender it bunches, creating a slack zone around the core and bulge points: the sock effect.
This phenomenon results in more rapid wear, particularly with top-roping or other intensive use, it also risks jamming in descenders or belay devices.

Every part of the rope works at the same time. Elimination of the unpleasant sock effect, i.e. slippage of the rope sheath.
Rope physics is far from simple and, in a desire to oversimplify a complex issue, ..... a slack zone around the core and bulge points, known as the sock effect
Internal Bulge - Retire. Flat parts - Retire. Another effect. Rumpled sock effect. NO. Inspecting of the condition of the rope.

FYO: In 6 results on Google it's called the Nora Batty stocking effect.
