ECthree is designed to match the industry-standard stainless steel Nitronic rigging dash sizes up to dash -60. For the same dash size, ECthree can deliver up to 65% weight savings compared to traditional rod or wire rigging.

ECthree is made with individual carbon rods tightly packed into a round cross-section and wrapped in a thin black polyester braided cover.

ECthree has multiple layers of safety. The individual bundles of pultruded carbon rods give ECthree exceptional flexibility, allowing it to resist fractures from bending, compression, and impact. Since the rods can move independently, they easily adapt to bending and absorb energy during impacts. This means that if some rods are damaged, it won’t affect the others in the stay. ECthree can endure up to 25% damage and still get you home safely for repairs.

The bundles of rods inside the braided cover naturally dampen vibrations. ECthree has a very low tendency to vibrate, reducing drag and improving overall comfort.

ECthree rigging can be coiled, enabling full fabrication in the factory and efficient delivery of the finished product to customers worldwide. This ensures greater quality control, precision, and faster installation.

ECthree allows for complete inspection by removing the braid cover to access the individual fibers and end fittings. It is recommended to inspect ECthree every 5 years. The rigging can be coiled and sent to Future Fibres for a thorough inspection, after which it will be returned to the customer for another 5-year cycle.
