Product Overview
Quick-release pins on military equipment ride on short cable lanyards like these, so a pulled pin stays with the gear instead of on the ground. The same loop-and-tab layout makes a retaining tether for a camera clamp: the tab goes under a mount bolt and the loop goes around a bar or frame.

- Coated steel wire rope
- Crimped loop at one end
- Flat metal tab with two holes at the other end, held by a crimp sleeve

Applications

- Retaining a small tool or fixture on a vehicle rack or bench
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the steel cable coated?
Yes. The steel wire rope carries an outer coating, which keeps bare strands off painted and finished surfaces.
Is a camera or mount included?
Not included.
Is the wire rope 12 inches long?
Yes. The wire rope measures 12 inches, and each lanyard is 13.25 inches overall with its loop and tab. Flat-rate shipping in the lower 48, and orders over the free-shipping line ship free.
A lanyard made to keep a pin from wandering off a piece of military gear does the same job for a camera clamp. Put the tab under the bolt, wrap the loop around the bar, and the clamp has a backup.
