What are "traceable" or "detectable" duct rods, and why are they important?
2025-08-16Answer from Ningbo Changshi: Traceable or detectable duct rods are an advanced type of cable pulling rod that contains a conductive core, typically a copper or steel wire, running through the length of the fiberglass rod. This feature allows the rod to be easily located and tracked when it is inside an underground conduit or duct.
This is critical for several reasons:
-
Pinpointing blockages: You can use a signal transmitter and receiver to pinpoint the exact location of a blockage or obstruction within the conduit, which significantly reduces the time and cost of troubleshooting.
-
Ensuring proper routing: It provides a way to verify the path of the conduit and the position of the rod, which is vital in complex underground networks.
-
Safety and efficiency: It eliminates the guesswork of underground work, reducing the need for extensive excavation and potential damage to existing infrastructure.
As a leading manufacturer of power line equipment, Ningbo Changshi offers high-quality traceable rods that meet the demands of modern electrical construction, providing both the strength to pull cables and the intelligence to locate their path with precision.
