Dragonplate axially optimized carbon fiber braided tubes are a high strength, high stiffness extension of our standard braided tube line of products. Combining the best qualities of our standard braided tubes with the rigidity of roll-wrapped uni-directional tubing, the axially optimized braided tubes have a high angle braid and additional uni-directional carbon fiber for maximum bending stiffness, yet maintain the torsional rigidity and robustness that make Dragonplate braided tubes an excellent option for many applications. These tubes are specifically made for maximum strength when used with our patent pending modular connector systems to construct disassemblable frames and other structures. And the beautiful braided gloss finish is distinctively unique amongst carbon fiber tubes. Wall thickness is approximately .060". UV resistant.
