Product information & specifications
DMM Fidus 6.5mm Retrieval Loop - Certified Midline Anchor - EN 795:2012 Type B - 31 cm
The DMM Fidus 6.5mm Retrieval Loop (product code RPC65-3T-BWG-31A) is a compact, certified rope tool providing a clean, retrievable attachment point for midline anchoring and work positioning. At just 84g and 31 cm in length, it is the lightest and most compact of the DMM certified anchor range — positioned between the fixed Tryggr Thimble (15 cm, 138g) and the adjustable Tryggr Thimble Vario (70–250 cm). A sewn eye termination with three stainless steel thimbles creates a low-friction, protective interface at the attachment point. With no stopper, configuration and retrieval are simplified. Certified to EN 795:2012 Type B and rated for two-person rescue loads under PD CEN/TS 16415:2013 (max 300 kg combined). Black/White/Grey Fidus cord contrasts clearly with main climbing lines and lanyards for immediate visual identification. 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
- Sewn eye termination with 3 stainless steel thimbles — compact stitch pattern; three thimbles create a low-friction interface at load points and protect both the cord and connected rope from wear
- 84g, 31 cm — the lightest DMM certified anchor in the range; minimal bulk for streamlined system setups
- No stopper — unlike the Tryggr Thimble Vario, the Fidus Retrieval Loop has no stopper; simplified configuration and improved retrieval efficiency
- For midline anchoring and positioning — provides a clean, retrievable attachment point for stationary rope system midline use and work positioning applications
- Retrievable from ground — smooth, reliable recovery after use without re-ascending to the anchor
- Black/White/Grey Fidus cord — contrasting colourway for easy identification against main climbing lines and lanyards; bespoke 6.5mm polyester with UV resistance and resin-coated stitch
- EN 795:2012 Type B and PD CEN/TS 16415:2013 certified — dual certified anchor and rescue rated; 300 kg two-person capacity

Also Known As
The DMM Fidus 6.5mm Retrieval Loop is also referred to as a certified retrieval loop, midline anchor loop, rope tool anchor, sewn eye anchor and retrievable attachment loop. The "Fidus" designation refers to DMM's bespoke 6.5mm polyester cord specification — the same cord used across the Tryggr anchor range and in DMM's Nomad lanyard system hitch cords. For ordering, reference product code RPC65-3T-BWG-31A.

FAQs
What makes the Fidus Retrieval Loop different from the Tryggr Thimble?
The Fidus Retrieval Loop uses a sewn eye termination (not a choking loop) and has three thimbles versus the Tryggr's two. At 84g it is lighter and aimed at midline anchoring and clean retrievable attachment points, where the Tryggr Thimble is designed as a choking anchor around vertical stems.
What does "no stopper" mean and why does it matter?
The Tryggr Thimble Vario includes a stopper that limits the travel of the adjustable loop — useful for controlled positioning. The Fidus Retrieval Loop has no stopper, which simplifies configuration and improves retrieval efficiency. The trade-off is that it does not offer the same adjustable positioning control as the Vario.
Is this certified for rescue use?
Yes. PD CEN/TS 16415:2013 certification confirms a 300 kg maximum combined user weight in two-person rescue configuration. For a full explanation of the certifications, see the DMM Tryggr Thimble product page.
What is the Fidus cord used for in other DMM products?
The same DMM Fidus 6.5mm polyester cord is used in the Tryggr Thimble, Tryggr Thimble Vario, and as the hitch cord in DMM's Nomad lanyard system. It is a bespoke cord specification designed for consistent long-term performance in outdoor, high-UV environments.
Does a retrieval cone come included?
No — unlike the standard Tryggr Thimble (which includes one small retrieval cone), the Fidus Retrieval Loop does not include a cone. The DMM retrieval cone is available separately.
