DISCONTINUATION NOTICE: 3M™ Protecta® Cabloc™ Ladder Safety Sleeves AC350A & AC351A

As part of our continued effort to optimize the 3M Fall Protection product line, we will be discontinuing the 3M™ Protecta® Cabloc™ Ladder Safety Sleeves AC350A & AC351A. To assist with this transition, we are replacing these items with the current 3M™ DBI-SALA™ Lad-Saf™ X2 & X3 Detachable Cable Sleeves.

The 3M™ Protecta® Cabloc™ Ladder Safety Sleeves AC350A & AC351A will no longer be for sale within the USA by July 31, 2017 due to the new anti-inversion requirements set forth within EN353-1:2014. Also, these travelers do not meet the requirement of two independent means of locking stated in the new ANSI Z359.16 Climbing Ladder Fall Arrest Systems standard.

Replacement solutions, 3M™ DBI-SALA® Lad-Saf™ X2 and 3M™ DBI-SALA® Lad-Saf™ X3 Detachable Cable Sleeves, are designed to meet the new product requirements stated above and are currently available for sale to support this product transition.
