Petzl ABSORBICA-I VARIO

Adjustable single lanyard with integrated energy absorber

ABSORBICA-I VARIO is an adjustable single lanyard with compact energy absorber designed for progression on a horizontal lifeline (rope or cable) or an elevated platform, without passing intermediate anchors. It features the VARIO adjustment system, allowing the lanyard length to be adjusted to reduce the potential fall height. Depending on the connectors used, ABSORBICA-I VARIO is certified to North American, European, and Russian standards.

Features:

Designed for progression on a horizontal lifeline (rope or cable) or on an elevated platform, without passing intermediate anchors

VARIO adjustment system allows the lanyard length to be adjusted from 100 to 150 cm in order to reduce the potential fall height

Absorbs energy in case of a fall:

• tearing of the energy absorber webbing limits the impact force on the user
• works with users who weigh between 50 and 130 kg
• progressive tearing reduces the deceleration on lightweight users

Minimal bulk: compact energy absorber facilitates handling

Durable fabric pouch with opening system at each end, protects the energy absorber from abrasion or contaminants while allowing for regular inspection of the absorber

Two options for installation on the harness, depending on use:

• frequent connection/disconnection: with a carabiner held in correct position by the STRING positioning accessory (included with the lanyard)
• semi-permanent connection: with a RING OPEN gated ring, whose circular shape ensures optimal positioning

Two connector options for the end of the lanyard: a locking carabiner, or MGO OPEN connector with large gate opening
