In summary, the speaker is designing an escape system that uses a metal rope and is looking for information on a stopper to prevent the cable from being pulled too far. They came across a compression sleeve named "stop sleeve" on McMaster Carr but do not know the technical jargon to research it further. They are hoping someone can provide more information on this type of sleeve.

I'm in the process of designing an escape system that uses a metal rope. I'm hoping to use a stopper so that the cable is not pulled too far and came across the attached. Unfortunately i do not know the jargon to be able to research it (Possible Materials, strength, sizes, etc) and was hoping someone here could let me know what it is called.

Thank you.
