Duct Rodder

Cable installation is an important part of telecommunications and electrical work. One of the most popular tools for cable installation is a duct rod. Duct rods can be used to run draw rope, pull cables, and guide wires through underground ducts, conduits, and throughout on-site cable support systems.

Duct rods are a lightweight and strong labor-saving means of installing telephone, electric and utility cable in infrastructure projects.

Utility companies frequently use duct rods to install, maintain and repair fiber optic networks, electrical installations, and utility networks where like-location routing of cable is important through extensive duct ways or cramped areas. Because duct rods are manufactured from materials that provide strength, flexibility, and corrosion resistance (such as fiberglass or reinforced composite), they can be used in some of the most demanding field environments.

Duct rods are typically produced in many different diameters so that they can accommodate the numerous different types of requirements when used for cable installation. Smaller diameter duct rods are easily carried and used manually, while the larger diameter rods are provided with wheeled dolly assemblies for manner of safe and efficient transport when performing heavy-based cable installations.
