Take Back Your Functional Trainer's Weight with THIS | The Dogbone Cable Connector
Every functional trainer splits your resistance across two separate cable stacks. The Dogbone clips both cable ends into a single attachment point, so instead of pulling one stack you're pulling both at once. Select 100 lbs on each side and you're moving 200 lbs total. Same rack, same stack, twice the load.
The Dogbone works with any dual stack functional trainer that accepts standard cable attachments, including the Dane 2.0, Fenrir, and Slim Gym. D-handles and most standard cable accessories connect directly to it, so whatever setup you're running, the Dogbone fits right in.
The Dogbone has 11 holes on each side plus 1 in the middle across 33 inches, allowing you to find your perfect width and grip for your pulls. Multiple attachment points run down the length of the Dogbone, so you're not locked into one grip width. Move your handles in or out to match the movement, your shoulder width, and what actually feels right.

You bought a functional trainer to get stronger, but running one cable at a time means you're only ever pulling against half of what your rack can actually deliver.
Every functional trainer splits your resistance across two separate cable stacks. That's fine for lighter accessory work, but it stops making sense when you want your lat pulldowns, rows, and cable pulls to load the way they should. The simplest way to put both stacks to work is the Dogbone.
The Dogbone Cable Connector combines both cable ends of your functional trainer into a single attachment point. Instead of pulling one stack, you're pulling both at once: select 100 lbs on each side and you're moving 200 lbs total. The rack you already own just became significantly more capable without adding a single piece of equipment to your gym.
That's the whole point. You paid for a weight stack. The Dogbone lets you use all of it.
On a 1:1 system, the Dogbone combines both cable ends into one attachment point and doubles the available load. If you've maxed out your weight stack on lat pulldowns or rows and don't want to add El Toro weight horns, the Dogbone gives you the extra resistance your stack already has, without adding any more weight to the machine.
D-handles and most standard cable accessories connect directly to the Dogbone, so your existing attachments work exactly the same way they always have. Multiple attachment points along its length also mean you can adjust your grip width without swapping anything out.
At 2.6 lbs and 33.5 inches long, the Dogbone stores easily on your rack and works with the Dane 2.0, Slim Gym dual tower configuration, and any other functional trainer that accepts standard cable attachments.
Your rack can handle more weight than pulling one cable at a time lets you feel. The Dogbone closes that gap.
On a 2:1 pulley system, connecting both cable ends to the Dogbone combines them into a single attachment point, effectively delivering a 1:1 felt load. If your rack is 2:1 and you select 100 lbs, the Dogbone makes it feel like 100 lbs instead of 50 lbs. For those with a 1:1 ratio, the Dogbone lets you can double your weight without weight adders or weight horns.
A pulley ratio describes how the weight you select compares to the weight you actually feel. A 1:1 ratio means 100 lbs selected feels like 100 lbs. A 2:1 ratio means 100 lbs selected feels like 50 lbs. Most functional trainers, including the Dane 2.0, run a 2:1 ratio. The Dogbone converts that to a 1:1 felt load by combining both cable ends into a single attachment point.
Yes. The Dogbone was designed for the Dane 2.0 and is fully compatible with it.
The Dogbone works with any functional trainer that accepts standard cable attachments. If your machine uses D-handles or Z-handles, the Dogbone connects to the same points.
Yes. D-handles, and most standard cable accessories connect directly to the Dogbone.
Perfect length for the Rogue Indy rack, and the finish is nicer than I expected. My only complaint is that I wish the holes were slightly larger. Rogue carabiners are thicker than average, making them a tight fit.
The Dog one is a nice addition to my Dane 2.0. It gives a different feel than using my lat pulldown bar on one stack. The D handles with the Dogbone provide a deep stretch and can be anywhere from narrow to wide. Excellent quality and great price point.
I like it a lot so far. I was using something from Amazon before, but very glad Fringe came up with the dogbone. My previous connector reduced ROM, and despite being heavier, felt flimsy. I am pretty sure it even bent in the middle a bit, which is not going to happen with the db.
Have an inspire sf3 machine and maxed out on seated cable rows…this allows me to double the weight! Spent $50 to save me from upgrading my cable machine!
Does exactly what is advertised. Lighter than I expected. Solid addition for a reasonable price.
Amazing drop as always. Fringe Sport has never disappointed me. Very sleek design, only used a couple of time but it's super versatile. Rows, curls, pull downs, and tying the stacks to do lying leg curls is great. 10 out of 10.
The holes for the jabalines are to small.
I've been looking for an option to combine the weight stacks of my Dane 2.0 and am thrilled that Fringe came out with this product. It is a great addition to the rack and far more affordable than other options. My only wish is that the tube was larger diameter and had some knurling for use without an attachment. Also, the tiny little carabiners are really not easily usable. I immediately swapped them out for larger carabiners that I had on hand.
I cannot say enough good things about both Fringe as a company and the Dogbone Connector. I ordered it the day it came out and I received it the next day. It was well packaged and well made. My favorite thing about the Dogbone is I am a bigger guy who has never been able to do a pullup. Even bands weren't heavy duty enough, but with the Dogbone, I can now do assisted pullups and target my back in a way I never could. It also opens up so much for me with rows. Either using the Dogbone itself for wide grip or putting d-handles on the well spaced holes for close grip, the Dogbone opens up my rowing world. I love this piece of equipment and I will be buying more from Fringe in the future!
Perfect
Another outstanding/highly useful piece by Fringe Sport. Just like every piece of Fringe equipment I own, it is well built, and ready to work. I highly recommend Fringe Sport! The owner listens to the Home Gym community, and their customer service is second to none!
Honestly wasn't expecting much from a little piece of metal, but the Dogbone made a real difference on my Slim Gym. Now I get to use both my stacks. Took me like 30 seconds to hook up to my handles. Small thing, glad I got it.
