Director Yoke

The Director Yoke is a compact and strong carabiner from DMM, perfect for lanyards and short systems. Featuring a Rope Spacer for optimal rope compatibility, a textile-friendly loop, 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 its strongest orientation (major axis). It is ideal for lanyards as it is lightweight, versatile, and strong, easy to handle, and significantly reduces the overall system length.[1][2][3]

Its textile-friendly, configurable loop, extra-short gate, generous curve in the loading area, and large gate opening make it perfect for stitched, spliced, or knotted rope or lanyard systems. It can be retrofitted to existing lanyard components or combined with DMM Linkits for ultra-short connectable systems. Together with the DMM Director Swivel Boss, it forms the ultimate swivel and pivoting double connector.[3]

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