So my rope for full suspension hanging is obscenely too long and I need to cut it to size (12mm, nylon double braided dockline with plenty of tensile strength). When I cut it, I ended up with significant fraying (see photo). Does anyone have a solution for how to avoid the fraying?

What about a lighter to gently melt the cut end to stop the fraying? If the integrity of the rope is in question, it would also be easy and relatively cheap to just replace it too if that was a big concern.
Wishing you all the best in whatever you decide.

Wrap tape around it near the frayed end.
Cut off the frayed part about a finger width away from the tape.
Use a lighter to gently melt the cut end. Use your fingers to tamp the melted part together, it will be hot.
Remove the tape.

Tie a simple overhand knot, thightly. Leave the frayed parts out of it + 1 or 2cm, then burn it, you can do more overhand knots, more=stronger, wouldn't say it's necessary though
