Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, Cardassian Isolinear Rod

made from scratch movie prop

Here are a few of my Isolinear Rod replicas. These rods are constructed of a transparent amber (2422) extruded acrylic, each measures 1/2" x 3 1/2". Copper tape has been applied, as well as the black stripe, per the originals on the show (sans colored designation tape). Acrylic cut by a friend but, otherwise, a personal construction.

Description from Memory Alpha:
"Isolinear rods are long, thin and cylindrical in shape, having a translucent dark amber tint. These small rods interface with information storage and processing devices which are employed by the Cardassian Union aboard their starships and other facilities. They are also used aboard the Bajoran, formerly Cardassian, facility of Deep Space 9. The rods are similar in principle to the Starfleet-issued isolinear chips used aboard Federation starships."
