CABLING
Splintering
Every tradesperson is well acquainted
with cable routing and the subsequent
risks of snagging and painful splinters.
Pushing and pulling cable rods across
rough surfaces causes friction, which
can damage the rods and result in
splintering. While it’s common to fi nd a
set of cable rods wrapped in electrical
tape in an electrician’s arsenal to
decrease the risk of splintering, bulky
tape simply reduces accessibility to
smaller holes.
Strength
The tensile strength of cable rods is
hugely important when routing cables.
Attempting to pull a trapped cable
using force can result in rods snapping
and disconnecting, losing expensive
equipment in the fi xtures. Electricians
require rods with connectors strong
enough to manage the routine task of
cable routing and the industry’s standard
does not currently stack up to the needs
of the user.

removing the need for quick fi xes, such as
tape, that prevents the rods from working
to their full potential.
C.K tools also found that variety is key
when electricians are undertaking cable
routing. To provide tradespeople with the
choice of multiple degrees of rigidity for
different applications, the MightyRods
PRO is available in a 7mm rigid rod for
overhead use, a 6mm fl exible rod for most
everyday applications, and a 4mm super-
fl exible rod.
To support the need for strength when
cable routing, the C.K MightyRods PRO
boasts tensile strength of 275kg ( which
can support the weight of a grand piano).
Ensuring that there are no weak links when
Creating a solution
Utilising this insight, C.K tools developed
the MightyRods PRO, which is designed
specifi cally to combat these issues,
tackling the consequences of friction,
including splintering and snapping.
The SplinterSHIELD is a 100%
splinter-proof material that protects
the rods’ fi breglass core. It helps to
prevent harmful and painful splintering,
supporting this kind of weight, the rods are
reinforced by triple fi xed zinc-plated steel
connectors, a feature that eliminates weak
joints between rods and allows the product
to be used to its full potential without fear
of disconnection.
Electricians should not have to
compromise when in need of quality
equipment fi t for purpose. While
electricians face many challenges when
cable routing, with the input and insight
of the tradespeople and electricians who
must overcome these issues on a daily
basis, the next generation of cable rods can
create a new level of effi ciency.
