Sterling Rope Company, Inc., the life-safety manufacturer that built the first ever 100 percent Technora® fire escape rope for FDNY, launches a competitively-priced rescue device that clearly puts the firefighter first. Not only does the FCX offer superior descent modulation and over-pull protection, it is also available in over thirty-six different kit configurations and seven complete escape systems.
“The FCX’s smart and intuitive design gives firefighters confidence in knowing they can get out quickly and safely, even without knowing what lies ahead,” says Josh Walls, R&D Director at Sterling.
FCX Features:
- Superior braking modulation for a controlled descent, backed with over-pull protection
- Click-to-neutral capability makes quick work of horizontal movement and payout
- Spring-loaded handle stays out of the way until needed, preventing snags
- Elevated side rails eliminate glove and sill interference
- Built from U.S precision-machined 7075-T6 aluminum
- Strong and lightweight with an MBS of 3,035 lbs and weighing only 7.8 oz.
- UL-Certified to NFPA 1983 individually and as a part of integrated Sterling Escape Systems
From every FCX device sold, $1 will be donated to the Lt. Joseph P. DiBernardo Memorial Foundation to aid fire departments in purchasing personal life safety systems and send teams to firefighter survival training.

The FCX device is available individually, in multiple kit configurations and in seven different UL-Certified NFPA Escape Systems. Kit components include the FCX, 50’ of heat resistant escape rope, an anchor hook, SafeD™ carabiner to attach to a harness, as well as a heat resistant bag for storage.
