Introduction

Underground cable installation requires tools that deliver strength, flexibility, and precise control. The Traceable Duct Rodder PS-TDR Series is engineered to support efficient cable routing through complex conduit systems, while enabling accurate tracking of underground paths during installation and maintenance.

What is a Traceable Duct Rodder?

A traceable duct rodder is a cable installation tool used to guide and pull cables through ducts and pipelines, with the added capability of locating and tracking the rod underground using detection equipment.

The PS-TDR Series integrates FRP (Fiberglass Reinforced Plastic) construction with a conductive tracing feature, allowing operators to monitor rod position during operation, especially in long or complex routes.

Product Information

The PS-TDR Series is manufactured from high-quality FRP synthetic fiberglass, providing high tensile strength, flexibility, and resistance to environmental stress. This ensures reliable performance during cable pulling and duct navigation tasks.

The series is available in multiple configurations, with rod lengths ranging from 160 meters to 480 meters and diameters from 4.5 mm to 16 mm, allowing selection based on conduit size, route complexity, and installation distance.

The rod maintains strong push force while remaining flexible enough to pass through bends without deformation or breakage. Its construction is resistant to corrosion, abrasion, and moisture, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor applications.

A key feature of this system is its traceability, which allows the rod to be detected underground using compatible locating equipment. This improves accuracy during installation, inspection, and maintenance operations.

Key Features

• FRP Construction: High strength with excellent flexibility
• Traceable Rod Design: Enables underground route detection
• 160–480 m Length Range: Suitable for long-distance installations
• 4.5–16 mm Diameter Options: Compatible with various duct sizes
• High Push Force Capability: Efficient navigation through conduits

• Smooth Operation: Controlled cable pulling and rod deployment

Industrial Applications

The PS-TDR Series is widely used in telecommunications for fiber optic cable installation and routing through underground ducts. In power utility projects, it supports the installation of electrical cables in conduit systems.

It is also applied in infrastructure and urban development projects, where accurate cable routing and duct navigation are required. In pipeline maintenance, the rodder assists in inspection, cleaning, and obstruction detection.

The traceable feature makes it especially valuable in complex or long-distance installations, where route visibility is limited.

Traceable Solution for Accurate and Efficient Cable Routing

The Traceable Duct Rodder PS-TDR Series combines mechanical strength with tracking capability, enabling precise and efficient underground cable installation. Its FRP construction ensures durability and flexibility, while the traceable functionality enhances operational control and accuracy.
