KONG FROG CABLE Automatic Directional Connector | Black
The KONG FROG CABLE is a compact, automatic directional connector designed specifically for attachment to compatible metal cable anchors. Featuring KONG's patented FROG closure system, the connector automatically clamps when it contacts an anchor point, allowing rapid attachment without manually opening a conventional carabiner gate.
Developed in collaboration with Politecnico di Milano, the FROG CABLE is designed for climbing, rope access, and compatible professional attachment systems where quick, reliable connections are important.
Its toothless gate design helps prevent accidental opening under load. Made from high-quality aluminum alloy, the connector offers a 25 kN major-axis strength rating in a compact 89 mm body that weighs just 50 g.
