A wire rope includes a multi-wire coil (10) formed by twisting several metal wires (11) together forming a coil layer of metal wires (11) with gaps (d1, d2)between each adjacent wire (11). In the wire rope, the gaps (d1, d2) are located between the metal wires (11) along an axis of the multi-wire coil (10). Preferably, the gaps (d1, d2) between the metal wires (11) include a first gap (d1) and a second gap (d2) that differs in width.
