Introduction to Basic Braid Patterns

Regular braid pattern: This is a common pattern that uses 16 wires in a one-under-two, over-two pattern.

Diamond braid pattern: A diamond braid pattern also uses 16 wires but differs from the regular braid pattern in that it produces a two-under-two, over-two wire pattern. This pattern tends to provide better torque and more kink resistance than the regular braid pattern but also has a slightly higher cost.

Diamond braid pattern, half load: By utilizing half the number of wires, the diamond pattern can be produced in a one-under-one, over-one wire pattern. This pattern provides more torque than the regular diamond pattern but incurs a much higher cost due to the reduced wire load.
