Kati Blitz: The Compact Standard for Fibre & Power

The Kati Blitz series is the original and best compact cable pulling system, designed for rapid deployment in residential and commercial buildings.

• Kati Blitz Compact 2.0: The go-to tool for short to medium runs, featuring a unique housing that prevents the rod from accidental unreeling and allows for one-man operation.

• Katimex Blitz (3.0mm): High-flexibility rods designed to navigate multiple 90-degree bends in small-diameter conduits without snapping or kinking.

• Driving Units & Length Counters: Add technical precision to your pull with specialised driving units and integrated length counters, allowing for accurate measurement of conduit runs and fault locations.

Traceable Rodders & Utility Location Gear

For contractors working with BYDA (Before You Dig Australia) requirements, Katimex traceable rodders are essential for mapping non-metallic infrastructure.

• Cable Jet Trace & Traceable Rodders: Available in diameters from 4.5mm up to 9.0mm+, these rodders feature high-quality copper cores that allow for easy energisation and tracing with any standard utility locator.

• Sonde-Compatible Systems: Many Katimex rodders are designed to carry specialised sondes at the tip, providing pinpoint accuracy for locating blockages, pits, or changes in conduit direction.

• Rugged Steel Frames: Heavy-duty foldable and wheel-frame dispensers designed for the rigours of the field, ensuring the rod is protected and easily managed on-site.
