OUR SERVICES

CFCC ACFRDIVISION

CFCC ® is used as the core of innovated high performance
conductor called ACFR. The electrical demand of the world has
been increasing rapidly, and ACFR will provide the best solution
offering twice the ampacity with lesser sag and lower temperaturecompared with conventional conductors.

Taking advantage of knowledges and experiences from working on
civil engineering in Japan, a country which acknowledged to be one of themost frequent subject to natural disasters, Tokyo Rope International's Engineering Division is ready to share the effective yet naturefriendly disaster prevention facilities with the world.

CFCC® with the softness of strength and the fiber of steel materials
CFCC® (Carbon Fiber Composite Cable) is a carbon fiber with highstrength, high elasticity, light weight, high corrosion resistance,
nonmagnetic, low linear expansion.
・Lightness about 1/5 while having almost the same strength as iron・Coil winding is possible because it is a flexible strand wire・Long service life and easy maintenance / management because there
is little expansion and deterioration
As core materials for power transmission lines that have about twice
the power transmission capacity and cost reduction of facilities andmaintenance, etc., and instead of iron, stainless steel, etc. as reinforcing

Advanced cable technology to support comfortable
lives in harmony with naturefrom power transmission line to buildings,
engineering works, and disaster prevention facilities
Tokyo Rope International Inc. will keep contributing to the creation of rich and comfortable society
with safe infrastructure systems around the world by providing Japan's best quality services andproducts supported by the technology that Tokyo Rope group has cultivated for 130 years.
