Maybe someone with some calipers and some SS rope can help me figure this out.

So I am getting ready to order some SS rope and a thought occurred to me, how accurate is the sizing? I know that when you go buy a 2x4 board it is really only 1.5x3.5 or so. They just round up to the nearest whole inch.

So if I buy a 3/32 SS rope is it exactly 3/32 (2.38mm) or is it really 2mm converted to the nearest fraction? If I buy 2mm is it really 2mm exactly or is it 3/32 rounded down to the nearest mm? Is 2mm and 3/32 in fact the exact same size or are they really different?

The same could be asked of 1/16 (1.59mm) and the 1.5mm SS ropes. Same or actually different?

Does anyone know for sure, can anyone take some measurements?
