Editorial assessment by Steven Eaton, WC Safety editor, based on published Werner specifications and category fit. We did not laboratory-test this product.
The Werner C361200 DeCoil Cable is a single-leg shock-absorbing lanyard built from vinyl-coated 1/4-inch cable that resists heat, abrasion, and sparks, making it suited to welding, steel erection, and hot work where polyester web lanyards risk melting or degradation. It uses Werner's DCELL Shock Pack, has a snap hook on the harness end and a rebar hook on the anchor end, a 6-ft length, and a 130 to 310 lb capacity, and meets OSHA 1926.502 and ANSI Z359.13.

Why the Werner C361200 survives hot work
A polyester web lanyard has no business near a welding arc β sparks and slag melt and weaken the fibers where you can't see it. The C361200 solves that with vinyl-coated 1/4-inch cable that resists heat, abrasion, and sparks, so it holds up in welding, steel erection, and hot work. It keeps the DCELL Shock Pack that decelerates a fall with a controlled tearing action, holding arrest force below 900 lb, and a rebar hook that clamps to structural members and pipe. As lanyards go, this is the hot-work pick, and the best fall protection lanyards guide and fall protection equipment guide cover how the pieces fit. It stands up where web fails.
Safety first: this lanyard is only one component of a complete personal fall arrest system β pair it with a compatible ANSI Z359.11 full-body harness at the dorsal D-ring and a structural member or anchor rated for at least 5,000 lb per OSHA 1926.502(d)(15). The cable resists heat and sparks, but you must still inspect it before every use for cut strands, kinks, and coating damage, and calculate fall clearance: free fall, the deployed shock-pack length, D-ring height, and a safety factor. Capacity is 130 to 310 lb and arrest force stays below 900 lb. Retire the lanyard after any fall. Confirm requirements with the OSHA 1926 fall protection guide.
What the Werner C361200 listing documents
From the published specs: a single-leg design; vinyl-coated 1/4-inch cable that resists heat, abrasion, and sparks; a snap hook harness connector and a rebar hook anchor connector; a DCELL Shock Pack holding arrest force below 900 lb; a 6-ft length; a 130 to 310 lb capacity; and OSHA 1926.502 / ANSI Z359.13 compliance. These are true cable lanyard credentials and a genuine welding lanyard β a heat-resistant shock absorbing lanyard for hot work.
How the Werner C361200 compares to other lanyards
For the web rebar-hook DeCoil, the Werner C311200; for the snap-hook DeCoil, the Werner C311100; for the twin-leg DeCoil, the Werner C411100; for other rebar single-legs, the Elk River 35374 NoPac; and for a dual-leg rebar option, the Guardian 11203. The safety harness guide pairs the harness.
Building a complete fall arrest system
A lanyard is one of three parts. For the harness, the full-body harnesses collection; for anchors, the anchor points collection and roof anchors guide; for complete sets, the fall protection kits collection and kits guide; and the full fall protection collection, the lanyards and lifelines collection, plus self-retracting lifelines span every category.
Where it fits by job and crew orders
The C361200 suits welders, steel erectors, and hot-work crews who need a lanyard that shrugs off sparks and abrasion β compare tool-lanyard options in the tool lanyards collection for dropped-object control. Inspect the cable for heat damage, verify each structural anchor, and retire the lanyard after any fall.

Frequently asked questions
What is the Werner C361200 DeCoil Cable?
A single-leg shock-absorbing lanyard from Werner's DeCoil series built from vinyl-coated 1/4-inch cable with the DCELL Shock Pack. It meets OSHA 1926.502 and ANSI Z359.13, with a snap hook on the harness end, a rebar hook on the anchor end, a 6-ft length, and a 130 to 310 lb capacity.
Why a cable lanyard instead of web?
The vinyl-coated cable construction is heat, abrasion, and spark resistant - so it holds up in welding, steel erection, and hot work where a polyester web lanyard is at risk of melting or degradation from sparks and slag.
What is the DCELL Shock Pack?
Unlike a traditional stitched tear-strip pouch, the DCELL Shock Pack uses a controlled tearing action to decelerate a fall gradually, limiting maximum arresting force below 900 lb in a lighter, more compact package.
What is the rebar hook for?
The rebar hook anchor connector clamps to vertical rebar, scaffold pipe, and structural members common in steel erection and concrete work, where a standard snap hook cannot safely gate around.
What is the capacity?
The listing states a capacity range of 130 to 310 lb - the combined weight of the worker plus tools and equipment must fall within that range for the shock pack to perform as designed.
What harness and anchor do I need?
Connect the harness snap hook to the dorsal D-ring of any ANSI Z359.11 full-body harness and the rebar hook to a certified anchor or structural member rated for 5,000 lb. The lanyard alone is not a complete system.
How much fall clearance do I need?
Calculate total fall clearance before work: free fall, the deployed shock-pack length, D-ring height, and a safety factor. Too little clearance risks striking a lower level before arrest.
Does the cable still need inspection for heat damage?
Yes - even a heat-resistant cable must be inspected before every use for cut strands, kinks, corrosion, and coating damage, and retired if the cable or the DCELL Shock Pack shows damage or prior deployment.
How is it different from the web C311200?
Both are DeCoil rebar-hook single-legs; the C361200 uses vinyl-coated cable for heat and spark resistance in hot work, while the C311200 uses polyester web. Choose the cable C361200 for welding and steel erection.
What work is it for?
Welding, steel erection, and hot work environments where sparks, slag, and abrasion would damage a web lanyard, plus general rebar and structural tie-off.
When must it be retired?
Retire the lanyard immediately after it arrests a fall - the shock pack is spent - or if the cable, coating, or hardware shows cuts, kinks, corrosion, or deformation. Inspect before every use.
How do I order for a crew?
Quantity purchasing runs through a free Amazon Business account - volume pricing, PO numbers at checkout, and tax-exempt eligibility for qualifying organizations. The bulk-ordering walkthrough is linked in our site footer.
