KONG FROG ANSI Automatic Directional Connector with 12 cm Sling
The KONG FROG ANSI is a professional directional connector with KONG's patented automatic gate-closure system. Designed for rapid attachment to compatible anchor points, the connector closes automatically on contact, allowing a quick, secure connection without manually opening a conventional carabiner gate.
This ANSI-compliant version incorporates a 120 mm (12 cm) lanyard with a reinforced attachment loop and an integrated NFC chip for equipment identification and traceability.
Manufactured from aluminum alloy, the FROG ANSI provides a 24 kN major-axis strength rating. Its compact design suits professional work-at-height, industrial rope access, arboriculture, and compatible fall-protection applications.
Developed and manufactured entirely in Italy, the FROG ANSI combines automatic connection technology with traceability features for professional equipment management.
