DMM Fidus 8.5mm Loop - Certified Sewn Loop Anchor - EN 795:2012 Type B - 50–105cm

The DMM Fidus 8.5mm Loop is a certified sewn loop rope tool in 8.5mm polyester cord — positioned between the 6.5mm and 10mm Fidus products in the DMM anchor range. The reduced 8.5mm diameter changes the handling feel compared to the 10mm Eye to Eye, offering improved precision and a lighter weight at equivalent or shorter lengths, while maintaining the same dual certification for straight, basket and choked configurations to EN 795:2012 Type B, and rated for two-person rescue loads under PD CEN/TS 16415:2013 (max 300 kg combined). The sewn loop construction — without a separate eye-to-eye termination — creates a single continuous cord loop that connects at the load point in any of the three certified configurations. Black/White/Grey Fidus cord contrasts with main climbing lines and lanyards. Available in six lengths: 50, 55, 65, 75, 90 and 105 cm, from 75g upward. Gustharts is 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

• 8.5mm bespoke polyester cord — narrower diameter than the 10mm Eye to Eye; lighter at equivalent lengths; improved handling precision in system setup and adjustment
• Sewn loop construction — continuous single loop with compact stitch termination; connects at the load point in straight, basket or choked configuration without separate eye attachment points
• Certified in three configurations — straight, basket and choked — same three-configuration certification as the 10mm Eye to Eye; the most versatile certification in the Fidus anchor range
• 75g to ~148g depending on length — consistently the lightest Fidus standalone anchor tool at comparable lengths
• Six stocked lengths: 50, 55, 65, 75, 90 and 105 cm — shorter minimum (50 cm) than the 10mm range, covering compact anchor configurations not achievable with the longer-minimum products
• Black/White/Grey Fidus cord — colour and pattern contrast with main climbing lines, lanyards and the 10mm range for quick in-system identification
• EN 795:2012 Type B and PD CEN/TS 16415:2013 certified — 300 kg two-person rescue rated across all three configurations
• UV resistant, durable polyester construction — proven performance over extended service life in outdoor, high-UV environments

Fidus 8.5mm Loop vs Fidus 10mm Eye to Eye — Which Do You Need?

Both are certified for straight, basket and choked configurations with the same 300 kg two-person rescue rating. The decision comes down to diameter preference, termination type and length range.

Also Known As

The DMM Fidus 8.5mm Loop is also referred to as a certified anchor loop, sewn loop anchor, friction hitch loop, prussik loop, 8.5mm anchor sling and rope tool loop. In some contexts it may be called a Fidus prusik loop due to its suitability as a friction hitch cord at this diameter. For ordering, reference the product code for your chosen length — RPL85-3-BWG-[length] — and confirm the length suffix matches your required loop size.
