Cobra First Use

This video shows how to set up a Cobra duct rod system for first use, ensuring it is ready for safe and efficient operation on site.

Learn how to:

• prepare the Cobra duct rod before use
• release and control the reel using the parking brake
• feed the rod through the guide eye correctly
• reattach the guide tip and secure the system

Correct setup helps ensure smooth operation during cable installation, duct rodding and inspection tasks.

Cobra duct rods are designed for professional use across telecommunications, utilities and infrastructure projects.

Fit a Sonde

This video shows how to correctly fit a sonde to a Cobra duct rod for duct locating and underground tracing applications.

A sonde allows the position of the rod tip to be detected from above ground using a cable locator and signal generator such as a CAT and Genny. This is particularly useful for locating non-metallic ducts, identifying blockages and tracing underground pipe routes.

Learn how to:

• select the correct sonde adaptor for your rod
• securely fit the adaptor and sonde
• prepare the system for duct locating
• safely remove and store the sonde after use

Cobra duct rods can be used for both standard rodding and traceable locating applications, providing a flexible solution for telecommunications, utilities and drainage work.

Learn how to:

• set up the Cobra duct rod on site
• control the reel using the parking brake
• feed the rod through ducts and conduit
• manage blockages safely
• withdraw and store the rod correctly

The Ritelite Cobra duct rodding system is designed for professional use across telecommunications, utilities and infrastructure projects, providing a reliable solution for installing cables and accessing underground ducts.

How To Use a Repair Splice

• fit the repair splice securely
• rejoin the rod for continued use

Using a repair splice helps extend the working life of Cobra duct rods, reducing downtime and avoiding the need for full replacement.

Cobra duct rods are designed to be fully repairable, making them a practical and cost-effective solution for cable installation, duct rodding and inspection work.

How To Replace an End Fitting

This video shows how to replace a Ritelite Cobra duct rod end fitting, allowing worn or damaged fittings to be repaired quickly and efficiently.

Learn how to:

• prepare and trim the rod if required
• mark and remove the outer sheath
• expose the fibreglass core correctly
• apply adhesive and fit the new end fitting
• complete the repair for continued use

Replacing an end fitting helps extend the life of your Cobra duct rod and ensures reliable performance during cable installation, duct rodding and inspection work.

Cobra duct rods are designed to be fully repairable, helping reduce downtime and long-term equipment costs.

How To Fit a Shackle

This video shows how to fit a shackle to a Cobra duct rod, allowing the system to be used for cable pulling and draw rope installation.

Learn how to:

• attach a shackle securely to the guide tip
• prepare the rod for pulling applications
• ensure fittings are correctly installed before use

A shackle is commonly used when attaching draw ropes or pulling lines, making it a useful addition for cable installation and duct rodding tasks.

Cobra duct rods are designed for flexibility, allowing a range of attachments to be fitted for different applications across telecommunications, utilities and infrastructure projects.
