Telecom Grade FRP & ARP Rods

The invisible Backbone of every Fibre Network

Runaya's cable reinforcement solutions are delivered through an affiliate manufacturing business focused on producing telecom-grade strength members for optical fibre cables — engineered to protect and sustain fibre networks across a range of demanding applications.

Built to Perform

Manufactured using advanced pultrusion and controlled curing technologies, these products deliver the mechanical strength needed to protect fibre networks while maintaining:

Dimensional stability

Dielectric performance

Resistance to corrosion and environmental conditions

Our Products

Designed for use across fibre-to-the-home networks, aerial drop cables, and micro duct cable systems.

Flat FRP Rods

Dielectric, rectangular-shaped FRP rod made from E-glass fibre, providing peripheral protection as a lateral strength member.

Rectangular dielectric shape
Protects against rodents & insects underground
High heat resistance & tensile strength

Application: Peripheral protection in direct-burial & submarine cable; applied helically for flexibility without adding bulk.

Uncoated FRP Rods

Lightweight, high-stiffness rod that prevents cables from buckling throughout their service life.

Excellent strength & modulus
Considerable stiffness
Smooth & glossy surface
Great range of diameter

Application: Central strength member; embeds on 2 sides of the cable for lateral rigidity & longitudinal flexibility.

Water Swellable FRP Rods

A strength member with a super-absorbent entity that swells instantly on contact with water, blocking ingress between cable components.

Instant swelling property
Excellent water blocking
Matte surface

Application: Used as the central constituent of an optic fibre cable.

Aramid Reinforced Plastic Solutions

Highly flexible aramid-yarn rod offering a low bending radius, anti-buckling property and high modulus.

Limits cable strain under tension
Flexible with high modulus
High strength at minimum weight

Application: FTTH, micro-duct & aerial drop cable; peripheral strength member.
