Product Information

Full details

This Faithfull Fibreglass Cable Rod Set is designed for electricians and DIYers needing to route cables through tight or confined spaces, offering a key benefit of easy cable feeding under floorboards and within wall cavities. A potential caveat is the 10m maximum combined length, which may limit very long runs. The set includes multiple fibreglass rods that connect via brass screw connectors, a mini ring, an adaptor, a flexible lead, a hook, and a traction fish tape, all housed in a compact storage tube.

FAQs

What is the maximum total length of the cable rods?

The rods can be joined together to a total maximum length of 10 meters.

What material are the rods made from?

The rods are made from a fibreglass composite, which offers a balance of rigidity and flexibility and prevents splintering.

What accessories are included in the set?

The set includes 10 x Fibreglass Cable Rods, a Mini Ring, an Adaptor, a Flexible Lead (185mm), a Hook, and a Traction Fish Tape (240mm).

How do I connect the rods together?

The rods connect using brass screw connectors. Simply align and screw them together securely.

Is this set suitable for DIY use?

Yes, the set is designed to make cable routing easier for both professional electricians and DIY users.

What is the diameter of the cable rods?

The cable rods have a diameter of Ø4mm.

How should I store the cable rod set?

The set is supplied in a compact plastic tube, which is ideal for easy storage in a toolbox or tool bag.

Troubleshooting

Rods not connecting securely

Ensure the brass screw connectors are clean and free from debris. Align the threads carefully and screw them together firmly. If a connector appears damaged, inspect it for defects.

Difficulty feeding rods around bends

Use the included flexible lead attachment which is designed to navigate corners. Try feeding the rods slowly and gently, wiggling them slightly to help them pass obstacles.

Cable snags during pulling

Check the path ahead for obstructions. Ensure the cable is securely attached to the pulling accessory (hook or fish tape). If using the fish tape, make sure it is running freely through the conduit or cavity.

Rod breaks under strain

Fibreglass rods are rigid but can be overstressed. Ensure you are not applying excessive force, especially around tight bends. Do not use if any rod appears cracked or damaged.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Facilitates cable routing in difficult-to-access areas.
  • Durable and safe fibreglass material that won't splinter.
  • Expandable reach up to 10 meters.
  • Includes a variety of accessories for different tasks.
  • Compact and organized storage solution.

Cons

  • Maximum reach limited to 10 meters.
  • Brass connectors may require careful handling to avoid damage.
  • May not be suitable for extremely tight bends without the flexible lead.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

To extend the reach, screw the brass connectors of individual fibreglass rods together. Ensure a secure fit to prevent disconnection during use. Attach the desired accessory (hook, ring, flexible lead, or fish tape) to the lead rod using the provided adaptor if necessary.

Compatibility:

This set is designed for routing electrical cables. The Ø4mm diameter rods are compatible with most standard conduit sizes and small access holes. The brass connectors are standard for this type of rod system.

Care:

After use, clean the rods and accessories with a dry or slightly damp cloth to remove dust and debris. Store all components back in the provided plastic tube to protect them from damage and keep them organized. Avoid exposing the rods to excessive heat or sharp impacts that could damage the fibreglass or connectors.
