Director Yoke

The Director Yoke is a compact and strong carabiner from DMM, perfect for lanyards and short systems. With a Rope Spacer for optimal compatibility with rope, a textile-friendly eye, an extra-short gate and a 'Rhino Horn' for secure major axis loading.[1][3]

Product description

The Director Yoke is a compact termination carabiner designed to always be loaded in the strongest orientation (major axis). It is ideal for lanyards as it is light, versatile and strong, easy to handle and significantly reduces the overall length of the system.[1][2][3]

The textile-friendly, configurable eye, extra-short gate, generous curve in the loading area and large gate opening make it perfect for sewing, splicing or tying into rope or lanyard systems. It can be retrofitted to ready-made lanyard components or combined with DMM Linkits for ultra-short connectable systems. Together with the DMM Director Swivel Boss, it forms the ultimate swivelling and pivoting double connection.[3]

The model is equipped with a Rope Spacer for optimised compatibility with rope.[3]
