Both, I understand the terms are interchangeable. Dyneema seems to be favored in Europe, Spectra in the USA. Have no idea about diameter, also as they are woven, the diameter varies as a function of load and stretching. People usually worry about working strength which is on the order of 500 lbs but can be higher or lower in some cases.
