The new directional connector, the DMM Ceros Karabiner, helps align loads in the correct orientation and is simple to use. This added security is achieved with a removable, tamper-resistant captive bar that holds the Ceros captive on a harness or lanyard and a horn which prevents devices moving onto the connector’s spine. Also available with an internal wire gate. A full section top bar resists wear.

DMM’s patented ‘Taperlock’ closing mechanism increases gate push-in and cross gate strength using a special flared profile on the nose of the karabiner, as well as allowing a snag free connection for your ropes, slings, and devices will not catch on gear, bolts, or slings, giving easier clipping and removal from systems.

The I-Beam construction techniques allow karabiners to be lighter without compromising strength. This is achieved through hot forging, a process which allows metal to be made into complex shapes that improve functionality.

A rope running over a full section top bar has more consistent handling characteristics than one running over an I-Beam surface. The belay karabiners feature full section top bars for greater control rope control. Ropes loading over full section bar also bend less than those loaded over I-Beam surfaces, increasing rope longevity.

The top of the Ceros’ spine prevents assisted breaking devices and rope controllers from twisting around the spine and cross-loading while the downward opening internal wire gate gives additional security in one movement, and prevents accidental removal once located
