Fiberglass Cable Pulling Rod Q-LANTEC Pilot FRP Ø4.5 mm, 25 m, no guide eyelets (NPK-45-25-S)

The Q-LANTEC Pilot fiberglass cable pulling rod is a 4.5 mm diameter, 25 m long FRP rod designed to guide and pull light cables and wires through conduits, ducts and tight channels. Constructed from glass-fibre reinforced plastic, the rod balances flexibility and pushability to negotiate bends while transmitting force from the entry point to cables being installed. This specific model is supplied without guide eyelets, making it suitable where a plain rod end or custom termination is preferred.

Advantages

The fiberglass construction provides corrosion resistance, low weight and consistent flex characteristics over the full length. At 4.5 mm diameter the rod fits many narrow conduits while nevertheless offering adequate stiffness to push through moderate bends. The 25 m length covers a wide range of short- to medium-run installations. Absence of factory-fitted guide eyelets reduces snagging points and allows the user to attach custom pulling accessories or tie on lightweight cables directly.

Suitable for

• Routing and pulling light electrical cables through conduits and tubing
• Telecommunications cable installation and maintenance in confined spaces
• Running patch leads and low-voltage wiring in residential and commercial buildings
• Accessing short to medium-length ducts where a plain rod end is required

Key specifications

• Material: glass-fibre reinforced plastic (FRP)
• Outer diameter: 4.5 mm
• Length: 25 m
• End fittings: none (supplied without guide eyelets)
• Properties: flexible with moderate axial stiffness, corrosion-resistant, lightweight

How to use

Insert the rod into the conduit and advance it by pushing while keeping steady pressure; rotate the rod slightly if required to help negotiate bends. When the rod reaches the target location, attach the cable or a pulling line to the rod end using an appropriate knot, connector or adapter chosen by the installer. Withdraw the rod while pulling the cable through the conduit. Inspect the rod for damage before and after use and replace if any sections show splintering or significant wear.

Usage recommendations

Use light-duty pulling techniques with this 4.5 mm rod: avoid excessive axial force or sharp impacts, keep the rod clean and dry to maintain flexibility, and choose compatible connectors or guide accessories when attaching cables. For runs longer than 25 m or when higher tensile strength is required, select a larger diameter or longer rod. Store coiled in a dry area away from direct heat sources.
