The diameter of the hole in the Petzl Connect Adjust release mechanism is 5mm

2026-11-13

If you want to thread a cord through the hole of the Petzl Connect Adjust lanyard and dont want to buy it first, then measure and then buy the correct size of accessory cord: The hole has a 5mm diameter. A 4mm Beal accessory cord fits just fine. I can't verify it, but the 5mm version is probably too tight.

Snarky comments:

  • why does Petzl not put that information anywhere on the product page?
  • why don't they ship 50cm of cord, possibly even pre-attached when they market that as a feature of the product?

Pictures as proof:
