Product information & specifications
DMM Fidus 10mm Eye to Eye - Certified Anchor Sling - Straight, Basket and Choked - 70–180cm
The DMM Fidus 10mm Eye to Eye is a certified sewn eye-to-eye rope tool — a 10mm polyester anchor sling usable in straight, basket and choked configurations, certified to EN 795:2012 Type B and rated for two-person rescue loads under PD CEN/TS 16415:2013 (max 300 kg combined). The three-configuration certification is the widest of any DMM anchor in this range — straight configuration allows it to function as a direct connection sling, basket wraps around an anchor point, and choked provides a secure, self-tightening loop. Available in Black/White/Grey in lengths from 70 to 180 cm — a wider range than the 6.5mm anchor tools, and specified to contrast clearly from the 8.5mm Fidus range. 10-year maximum service life subject to regular inspection by a suitably qualified person. For work positioning, lightweight rigging and rescue. In stock at Gustharts, an authorised DMM dealer.
DMM is a Welsh manufacturer of professional climbing, rigging and work-at-height hardware, based in Llanberis since 1981.
Key Features
- Certified in three configurations — straight, basket and choked — the most versatile certified use profile in the DMM Fidus anchor range; no other DMM anchor tool covered here is certified for straight-line use
- 10mm bespoke polyester cord — heavier diameter than the 6.5mm Fidus range; UV resistant with consistent long-term performance in harsh outdoor environments
- Sewn eye-to-eye construction — compact terminations at both ends; both eyes can be connected independently for straight configuration or used together for basket and choked configurations
- Available in 70–180 cm lengths — a wider range than the 6.5mm retrieval loop tools, covering a broad spectrum of anchor geometries and system configurations
- Contrasting Black/White/Grey colourway — differentiates from the 8.5mm Fidus range and contrasts clearly within complex systems
- Suitable for lightweight rigging — the 10mm diameter and eye-to-eye construction make it suitable for work positioning, lightweight rigging and rescue applications
- EN 795:2012 Type B and PD CEN/TS 16415:2013 certified — 300 kg two-person rescue rated across all three certified configurations
- 10-year maximum service life — subject to regular inspection by a suitably qualified person

The Three Certified Configurations
The EN 795:2012 Type B certification of the Fidus 10mm Eye to Eye covers three distinct loading configurations — more than any other DMM certified rope tool in this anchor range:
- Straight — both eyes connected at each end as a direct linear connection between anchor point and system. Suitable where a simple, direct load path is appropriate. The 6.5mm Fidus anchor tools are not certified for straight configuration.
- Basket — looped around the anchor structure with both eyes connected to the same point; spreads the load across a wider contact area and increases capacity relative to a choking configuration. Standard configuration for most anchor sling applications.
- Choked — one eye passes through the other around the anchor structure; the self-tightening loop positions securely at the contact point. Useful for smooth or tapered stems where basket positioning would slip.
Always refer to DMM's technical documentation and confirm the appropriate configuration for your specific application and system design before use.
DMM Fidus 10mm vs the 6.5mm Range
| Feature | Fidus 6.5mm range | Fidus 10mm Eye to Eye (this product) |
|---|---|---|
| Cord diameter | 6.5mm | 10mm |
| Certified configurations | Basket only | Straight, Basket and Choked |
| Termination type | Loop (Tryggr) or sewn eye (Retrieval Loop) | Sewn eye at both ends |
| Typical applications | Retrieval anchors; SRS/SRT; midline anchoring | Work positioning; lightweight rigging; rescue; multi-configuration anchor use |
| Adjustable | Tryggr Vario: yes; others: no | No — select length at purchase |
| Max user weight | 300 kg | 300 kg |
| Service life | Not specified | 10 years maximum |
Also Known As
The DMM Fidus 10mm Eye to Eye is also referred to as a certified anchor sling, sewn sling, eye-to-eye sling, work positioning sling, rigging sling and rescue sling. In rigging and rescue contexts it may also be called a 10mm sewn anchor or Fidus anchor loop. For ordering, reference the product code for your chosen length — RPL10-2-BWG-[length] — confirming the length suffix matches the loop size you need.

FAQs
What does "eye to eye" mean in an anchor sling?
Eye to eye means the cord has a sewn loop (eye) at each end. This allows the sling to be used in straight configuration (each eye connected to a different component), basket configuration (both eyes to the same point, looped around the anchor), or choked (one eye passed through the other).
Why use a 10mm sling rather than the 6.5mm Fidus range?
The 10mm diameter provides a larger, more easily handled cord suited to lightweight rigging and multi-configuration anchor use. It is also certified for straight configuration — something the 6.5mm basket-only products are not. Choose the 6.5mm products where compact weight and retrieval efficiency are the priorities.
Is the Fidus 10mm Eye to Eye certified for rescue use?
Yes. PD CEN/TS 16415:2013 certification confirms 300 kg maximum combined user weight in two-person rescue configuration, across all three certified configurations — straight, basket and choked.
How do I select the right length?
Length selection depends on the anchor point circumference and your required system geometry. For most arborist work positioning on typical-diameter stems, shorter lengths (70–90 cm) are sufficient. For larger diameter anchors or configurations requiring more loop length, select a longer variant. If in doubt, contact Gustharts.
What is the maximum service life?
10 years from date of manufacture, subject to regular inspection by a suitably qualified person. Retire immediately if damage, degradation or any compromise of integrity is identified, regardless of age.
