Absorbica-Y 80 Lanyard

Petzl Double Absorbica Y (Rope) Lanyard 80cm

The Petzl Absorbica Y 80 is a rope double lanyard with integrated compact energy absorber, for continuous protection when passing intermediate anchors. It is 80 cm in length, not including connectors. It can accept different types of connectors on the lanyard end and is certified to European and Russian standards.

The Absorbica Y 80 lanyard with its two rope arms allow for continuous protection when passing an intermediate anchor, by allowing the user to successively detach and re-attach the two arms as they move.

The Petzl Absorbica-Y 80 lanyard is used when there is a fall hazard. The lanyard is connected to the sternal or dorsal fall arrest attachment point on the harness (connector sold separately). The integrated absorber provides energy absorption in a fall, thus limiting the impact force on the user. In the case of a fall, the tearing of the energy absorber webbing limits the impact force felt by the user. The progressive tearing of the webbing reduces the deceleration on lightweight users. The Absorbica-Y 80 is designed for users who weigh between 50 and 130 kg.

The energy absorbing component is very compact to avoid hindering the user’s movements or interfere with handling. A durable fabric pouch helps protect the energy absorber from abrasion and potential contaminants.
