OFC strength member rods in round, flat, and water-swellable profiles, manufactured in India to ISO-certified standards for telecom cable OEMs across Asia.
Supplier-declared, pending confirmation
E-glass roving FRP dielectric strength member, 0.50, 6.50 mm diameter, tensile strength >140 kg/mm², available with EAA, HDPE, or Polypropylene coating.
FRP strength member with an integrated surface layer that absorbs water on contact, preventing moisture ingress into the cable core and eliminating the need for a separate water-swellable yarn.
Flat-profile dielectric FRP armour element for rodent-resistant, direct-burial, and bullet-resistant aerial OFC constructions; reduces overall cable diameter and weight compared with steel alternatives.
Non-metallic aramid fibre composite strength member for low-count fibre optic cables; available with EAA coating for improved adhesion to cable jacket materials.
Heavy-duty cable-pulling rod for optical fibre installation in buried ducts; 6.5 mm fiberglass composite core, Polypropylene over-coat to 9, 12 mm overall diameter.
JRD's Silvassa plant operates at a stated production capacity of 1.2 million km of FRP and ARP rods per year, supporting high-volume cable manufacturing schedules without supply interruptions.
Products are manufactured under an ISOQAR/UKAS-registered ISO quality management system and comply with RoHS and REACH requirements; BSNL CACT approval supports supply to Indian state telecom projects.
Round, flat, water-swellable FRP, ARP, and duct rodder products are produced under one roof, allowing cable manufacturers to consolidate their strength member sourcing to a single qualified supplier.
The water-swellable FRP rod combines the strength member and moisture-barrier function in one component, reducing the bill of materials and assembly steps for OFC manufacturers.
Round FRP and ARP rods are available with EAA, HDPE, or Polypropylene coatings, allowing buyers to specify the surface treatment that matches their cable jacket or stranding process.
JRD manufactures Round FRP Rods (0.50, 6.50 mm diameter), Water-Swellable FRP Rods, Flat FRP Rods, ARP Rods, and Fiberglass Duct Rodders. All products are dielectric, non-metallic components designed for optical fibre cable constructions.
JRD Fiber Composite Private Limited is an Indian manufacturer. Production takes place at its own plant in Silvassa, India.
JRD supplies cable manufacturers in India, Vietnam, Bangladesh, and Thailand. Buyers in other markets are welcome to make an inquiry to confirm whether supply to their location is available.
Products are manufactured under an ISOQAR/UKAS-registered ISO quality management system and are declared RoHS and REACH compliant. JRD also holds BSNL CACT approval for supply to Indian state telecom infrastructure projects. Buyers should request the relevant certificates and verify compliance with their own specifications before ordering.
JRD's products are typically classified under HS 7019.90 (other glass fibre articles), 5607.50 (twine, cordage, and rope of synthetic fibres, relevant to aramid-based members), and 7019.19 (glass rovings and fibres). Buyers should confirm the applicable classification with their customs authority, as HS code interpretation varies by country.
