The "Borromean chain mail" knot -- two rings (here the red and blue) in a Borromean rings configuration (or L6a4 knot) with each of two other rings, such that no two rings are directly linked. The whole is L10n107. Cutting the either the red or the blue rings frees the other three (leaving three separate disconnected loops), but cutting the yellow or green rings doesn't (so this is not a Brunnian link.)

For an indefinitely-extended Borromean chainmail pattern, see Image:Borromean-chainmail-tile.gif .

Self-made.
