Cable pulling rod Extralink Pilot 8mm 50m glass fibre FRP yellow

The Extralink Pilot 8mm 50m cable pulling rod is a fiberglass (FRP) rod engineered for guided cable installation in ducts, conduits and over obstacles. With an 8 mm diameter and 50 m working length, the rod is coated in yellow PE for protection and improved sliding. The construction emphasizes flexibility, resistance to bending and tearing, and lightweight handling to support efficient pulling and guiding of cables during installation tasks.

Advantages

The fiberglass composition provides a balance of high elasticity and tensile resistance while remaining lightweight for manual handling. The yellow PE outer coating protects the core from abrasion, reduces friction during insertion and improves visibility in work environments. The rod is fitted with a guiding head to simplify attachment of pulling lines and to navigate bends. The design minimizes the risk of damage to ducts and cables during installation.

Key specifications

How to use

Feed the rod into the duct or conduit while maintaining steady tension to allow the rod to flex and follow the path. Attach the cable or pulling line to the guiding head using an appropriate connector or swivel to prevent twisting. Pull the cable steadily while advancing or retracting the rod as needed; avoid sharp jerks or excessive force that could overstress the rod or damage duct walls. If routing through long or curved runs, work from both ends when possible and use intermediate guidance points to reduce friction.

Recommendations

Inspect the rod and guiding head before each use for signs of wear or damage. Use personal protective equipment and follow site safety procedures. Store the rod coiled on a suitable reel or rack in a dry place away from direct UV exposure to extend the service life of the PE coating and FRP core.
