Jonard Tools RDT-18K 18-Foot Telescoping Pole Kit

Extended Reach for Overhead Cable Installation and Retrieval

The Jonard Tools RDT-18K Telescoping Pole helps low-voltage professionals install, position, and retrieve cable in drop ceilings, overhead pathways, and other difficult-to-access locations. Extending to 18 feet, it provides an average standing reach of approximately 24 feet depending on the user’s height and arm length.

Its tapered, interlocking fiberglass sections offer greater rigidity and directional control than many coil- or rod-based products. When the work is complete, the pole collapses to just 33 inches for convenient transportation and storage.
