It’s a Nomad World
Friction hitch based work positioning lanyard system offering a range of solutions for movement and changing position. These CE certified fall protection systems are available in 12.8mm or 11.8mm diameters, four bright and contrasting colours and a choice of seven lengths.
An additional use is as an anchor assembly for rescue for up to two person loads.
The bespoke rope and hitch cordage has been tailored to interact perfectly for exceptional reliability, performance and durability; especially when paired with DMM hardware.
The Nomad+ is a complete system of eye to eye lanyards with a colour matched Locksafe Ultra O and Director Yoke connector, Triple Attachment Pulley 2 (TAP 2), with a Fidus 8.5mm Eye to Eye and a Fidus 6.5mm Loop.
The Nomad has the same two diameter options, contrasting colours and lengths as the Nomad+ but without the Director Yoke connector and Fidus 6.5mm Loop.
All parts are replaceable for greater lifespan.
Sewn eye termination and stopper knot
Features:
- Four bright rope colours with hitch cords and colour coded hardware for easy identification in complex environments; enhancing safety by helping avoid any confusion with main line or a second lanyard.
- A range of lanyard lengths (3m, 4m, 5m, 7m, 10m, 15m and 20m) to suit the working environment and your climbing style.
- Choice of two rope diameters to suit the weather, season and size of hands. Thicker rope is easier to hold in the cold and wet and also has greater cut resistance. Lower diameter for weight saving and use in the warm and dry.
- Market proven 24 strand count polyester cover double braid rope with a nylon core. Easy to grip and good abrasion resistance.
- The Fidus hitch cords have a polyester core and sheath, offering exceptional and consistent performance over an extended lifespan, even in harsh high UV environments.
- The hitch cordage has been designed to interact smoothly, consistently and reliably in a wide range of conditions.
- DMM TAP 2 to advance the friction hitch early and minimal sit-back. Three holes allow for additional configurations in complex work positioning.
- Paired with DMM Ultra O for correct compatibility between pulley, friction hitch and connection to the harness.
- Nomad+ has a DMM Director Yoke connector with a rope spacer for extremely short connection length at the termination and ensuring correct orientation. Removeable for maintenance away from the rope. The Director Yoke also available separately to upgrade the Nomad lanyard system.
- Available with DMM Fidus 6.5mm Loop, allowing a range of additional configurations and positioning methods. The laminate tab ensures the knot remains correctly set and does not unintentionally move when not in use. The Fidus 6.5mm Loop is available separately to upgrade the Nomad lanyard system.
- Short and strong stitch patterns in sewn eye terminations.
- All Nomad lanyard systems are certified to EN358:2018, EN795B:2012. Not to be used for fall arrest.
- All Nomad Lanyard systems are certified as an anchor assembly for two-person rescue loads (PD CEN/TS 16415:2013).
Doubled – Director Yoke attached to TAP 2.
Rescue, using lanyard as anchor assembly.
Being used for restraint.
Certified in a wide range of configurations:
- Doubled, with two points of attachment on harness - Side D to Side D (excluding suspension)/Forward D to Forward D (including suspension).
- Doubled, with one point of attachment on harness (e.g. bridge/ventral attachment) and the termination connector attached to TAP 2.
- Restraint when connected to a harness/belt attachment point(s) approved for restraint.
- Single, using thimble hitch. Significantly increases the working length of the lanyard and reduces clutter close to the harness.
- Attach further fall protection systems for more work positioning options using additional holes in TAP 2.
- Two doubled configurations using a single lanyard for two points of connection to the structure.
- End to end lanyard connection using full length.
- Rescue, using the lanyard as an anchor assembly.
- Certified with three friction hitches (Distel 5+1, Schwabisch 5+1, VT 5+2) tied using the same length Fidus 8.5mm Eye to Eye.

Nomad FAQs
1. Are the Ultra O and AmericanO specific to 11.8 and 12.8 lanyards respectively?
No. All variants of Nomad and Nomad+ include Ultra Os at the TAP 2 pulley. The Ultra O provided can be replaced with a DMM AmericanO and retain the same system certification.
2. Can other connectors be swapped in? If so, which ones and at what place in the assembly?
Responsibility for Non-Listed Connectors:
If you choose to use a connector not listed on the DMM Nomad compatible components page, it is your responsibility to ensure suitable and sufficient performance in addition to correct and safe compatibility with neighbouring equipment. Ensure any other components used meet the requirements of the jurisdiction(s) within which you carry out work.
Certified vs. Compatible:
Please note that certified and compatible are not the same.
The Nomad+ is a certified assembly, which includes a Director Yoke (with rope spacer) connector at the lanyard termination and an Ultra O (or AmericanO) at the pulley.
The Nomad is a certified assembly up to the termination eye. This provides flexibility for you to select a compatible connector of your choice. Compatibility: The ability of neighbouring components to function together, without detriment to any element beyond normal wear and tear.
3. Can captive bar versions be used?
We do not recommend use of an Ultra O or AmericanO captive bar. There is insufficient area between the captive bar and carabiner to allow these particular components to orient on the connector's major axis.
4. Which Director Yoke spacer is used? Can either rope or webbing spacers be used?
Nomad+ and Nomad are only certified for use with Director Rope Spacers.
5. Are the friction hitch eyes required to be anchored (with Ultra O) to the bottom hole of the TAP only?
Yes, the Fidus 8.5mm hitch provided with the Nomad and Nomad + has been certified and function tested for use in the bottom hole only. Attaching the friction hitch in thislocation leaves the user free to use other work positioning solutions by connecting to the remaining unoccupied attachment hole(s) of the Triple Attachment Pulley.
6. Is heat shrink present anywhere on the lanyard assembly and if so, is it required to stay in place?
Yes, there is heat shrink on all stitching. Heat shrink is only required to help retain the product labels that are present for information, traceability and inspection purposes.
