Abstract: A method for making a wire rope comprising a core; a plastic jacket placed over the core; a plurality of outer strands laid on the circumference of the jacket core; and a plurality of substantially round wormings. The method comprises the steps of: i) extruding the plastic jacket over the core; ii) simultaneously laying on the circumference of the jacketed core a plurality of loose and substantially round wormings, and a plurality of outer stands, whereby the wormings are compressed by the outer strands to substantially fill the voids comprised between two adjacent outer strands and the core.
