Carbon Fiber Composite Cable (CFCC)
The Future of Infrastructure: Built to Endure with CFCC®
Turn your vision into a reality with high-strength, non-corrosive reinforcements engineered to withstand the test of time.
Every infrastructure project begins with a commitment to quality. Yet, corrosion, high maintenance, and material fatigue are costly setbacks. What if there was a way to eliminate these issues from the start?
CFCC® from Tokyo Rope is designed to be the solution for professionals who demand more—high tensile strength, zero rust, and minimal relaxation loss. CFCC® reduces the need for repairs, saving time, money, and resources.
Best of all, implementing CFCC® comes with ZERO ADDITIONAL COST.
The advanced technology used for traditional iron ropes is fully compatible with carbon fiber composite cables, meaning no new equipment or infrastructure is required. You can seamlessly upgrade to the superior performance of CFCC® without any added implementation expenses, maximizing your ROI from day one.

Product Applications
Versatile applications of CFRP strands in the construction industry
CFRP (Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer) strands offer innovative solutions for a variety of prestressing methods and are indispensable in numerous construction projects. They can be used for bonded prestressing (both immediate and post-tensioning) as well as unbonded prestressing (internal and external). This flexibility makes them ideal for meeting a wide range of structural requirements.
Wide range of applications
CFRP strands are used in civil engineering structures and building construction. They are particularly suitable for load-bearing components such as bridges and bridge decks, tower segments, prestressed floors, and girders. Their high strength and corrosion resistance make them an excellent choice for demanding projects.
Durable performance – Even in challenging environments
The exceptional material properties of CFRP strands enable their use in a variety of environmental conditions. They can be applied everywhere, with significant advantages for structures located near the sea. Due to their high resistance to corrosion from salty air and water, CFRP strands are ideal for coastal projects, ensuring a durable, low-maintenance solution.
