It is listed as: x77a String, Cord Thin (Undetermined Length) I see x77a listed with various lengths in the description. After someone tells me length for set 6462 is it allowed to cut a longer string to that length. OR does that mean I have ruined the string as a true Lego part? How is it done to keep the set authentic? How to know proper string length? Thanks, Mark Brickowl has it as 50cm long. So long as the longer string is genuine LEGO I think you can use one that has been cut. After all, the strings were all originally cut from a longer roll before being put into sets. I think the undetermined refers to the length not being consistent over its production time. The length doesn't really affect the play and it doesn't matter if it is off by a couple of cm in production. Actually, the undetermined refers to the fact that no one has yet to correct the inventory with the proper length of string that came with the set.
