Hoochie cord
Both equally non-descriptive names that tell you nothing about the cord. Any retailer can put that label on any cord they like if it might vaguely be used for guy lines.
Not knocking the linked product’s suitability, just pointing out that labelling isn’t the same as describing.
For instance, the lines I use for guy lines are 16 plait polyester, polyester core, 2mm, sailing control line, or arborist throw line. I have used Marlow Excel Pro and Kingfisher mini spools.

But for those that like the Hoochie cord.
Huss Hoochie cord, 8 plait polyester, 650N breaking. No core. 60% the strength of the 2mm 16 plait stuff. 8 plait is grippier that 16 though.

We've used this stuff in 2mm green for a long time. They don't list green on the website, or at least i cant find it just now and from memory it only comes on bulk spools.
