ARP Rods

What are ARP Rods?

ARP rods are non-metallic composites designed primarily for use as a strength member in low count optical fibre cables. ARP rods are manufactured by using aramid fibre, which is lightweight and extraordinarily strong with unique formulation of modified resin and high heat resistant catalysts. It offers very high tensile strength & better bending properties with minimum weight. ARP rods are ideal for cables designed for FTTH application where the cables are laid/stringed in places of sharp bends also suitable for all dielectric cable configurations where the placement is closer to power lines.

Our EAA coated ARP rods allow easy handling and provide better adhesion with the cable sheath/jacket.

Features of ARP Rods

  1. An excellent choice for high temperature environments

  2. Light weight and high strength

  3. Low expansion

  4. Low coefficient of thermal expansion than steel wire

  5. High impact and break resistance

  6. High tensile strength (1,700 MPa)

  7. Flexible and easy to bend

  8. Enables the cable to be compact, aesthetic and flexible, especially for the indoor layouts
