Why?
If you use insulating rope there is no need to buy insulators.
I use them for strain relief. *Wrapping a wire or a rope around an
insulator with a 3/4 inch radius puts less wear and tear on either
material per square mm of contact surface than tying the rope directly
to the wire. *I cannot prove (off the top o' my head) this
quantitatively, but intuitively it seems right.
Having said that. I am sure there is nothing to gain electrically from
omitting the insulator.
