Extralink Pilot Cable Pulling Rod, 8mm x 200m, Fibreglass FRP

The Extralink Pilot cable pulling rod is a professional tool designed for efficient cable installation in conduits and pipes. With a diameter of 8 mm and a length of 200 meters, this rod is constructed from durable Fiber Reinforced Plastic (FRP), ensuring high flexibility and excellent resistance to bending and breaking. The fiber is encased in a yellow polyethylene (PE) sheath, which provides additional protection and reduces friction, making it easier to navigate through complex cable routes.

Advantages

The primary advantage of this tool is its robust FRP construction, which offers the perfect balance between rigidity for pushing and flexibility for navigating tight bends. The protective yellow PE coating ensures the rod remains durable over time while providing high visibility during installation. The included powder-coated blue stand features a manual drum lock and a specialized guiding eye, which simplifies the storage, transport, and deployment of the 200-meter rod. The attached guiding head further improves efficiency by allowing the rod to pass through conduits smoothly.

Suitable for

When it may not be suitable

This 8 mm rod is designed for heavy-duty industrial or commercial conduit work and may be too thick or rigid for small-diameter residential conduits or tight, intricate wiring paths where a thinner, more flexible fish tape would be more appropriate.

Key specifications

How to use

To use the Extralink Pilot cable pulling rod, place the stand on a stable surface and release the manual drum lock. Feed the guiding head of the rod into the conduit or pipe. Once the head reaches the destination, attach the cable to the guiding head securely. Carefully pull the rod back through the conduit to draw the cable into place. After use, wind the rod back onto the drum and engage the manual lock to prevent accidental unspooling during transport.

What to consider before purchase

Usage recommendations: Always inspect the rod for cracks or damage before each use to ensure safety. Keep the rod clean and lubricated if necessary to maintain its smooth movement through pipes.
