FallTech 6' Arc Flash Energy Absorbing Lanyard, Single-leg with Steel Snap Hooks

FallTech 8242AF 6' Arc Flash Energy Absorbing Lanyard with Steel Snap Hooks (Model 8242AF)

The FallTech 8242AF 6' Arc Flash Energy Absorbing Lanyard is built for workers who need dependable fall arrest protection in electrical, utility, industrial, and arc flash hazard environments. Designed with durable Kevlar® leg webbing throughout, this single-leg lanyard delivers strong, job-ready performance for crews working at height where arc flash resistance is an important part of the fall protection system.

This 6-foot fixed-length lanyard features an external Soft Pack energy absorber with a protective Nomex® cover to help manage fall arrest forces while standing up to demanding work conditions. Steel snap hooks at both ends provide secure connection to the worker’s harness and approved anchorage point, making it a practical choice for electrical contractors, utility crews, maintenance teams, and industrial professionals.

With a 5,000 lb minimum static strength, 6-foot free fall rating, 48-inch maximum arrest distance, and 1,800 lb maximum arrest force, the FallTech 8242AF is engineered for reliable performance in compliant personal fall arrest systems. Its arc flash construction makes it especially well suited for applications where traditional polyester or nylon lanyards may not be appropriate.
