Cable Tie-Off Adaptor
3M's anchorage connectors are built from quality materials providing high strength and durability to stand up to the toughest environments. Anchorage connectors are the foundation of most fall protection systems, often overlooked but critical components because they securely attach your system to the anchorage. Your choice of anchor depends on the type of work being done. Anchorages are sold by what they connect to (general/all purpose, steel, concrete, roof or specialty), whether they are fixed or mobile, and whether they are permanent or portable.
ANSI Z359.18; OSHA 1910.140; OSHA 1926.502 A compliant anchorage point is the foundation of every personal fall arrest system; this connector installs fast and carries the load.
