Do knots affect the strength of a rope?

Knots reduce the strength of ropes by up to 50% because they cause the fibers to get distorted and to cut into each other. Some sizes of our ropes can be fitted with swaged eye terminations which are much more efficient than knots, resulting in only minimal strength loss.
