Underground conduit makes it easy to plan for future cables

By Paul Dvorak | May 5, 2011

The SubDuct allows customization with various numbers of ¾-in. chambers within a single jacket. It allows use of industry-standard couplers to match end-user requirements. The wire allows locating the cable when underground. More or fewer chambers can be wrapped into a conduit.

The ConQuest conduit can simplify installation and management of multiple cables in a single duct. The ConQuest Detectable SubDuct conduit targets underground cable networks having existing and future capacity requirements. It lets end-users install a single-duct today with additional capacity for future cable installations. This forward planning eliminates need to place additional dedicated conduit later as a network expands. Each separate pathway is capable of carrying individual cables while protecting against natural or construction-related damage.

The design allows customization with various numbers of 0.75-in. chambers within a single jacket, providing easy installation and allowing use of industry-standard couplers to match end-user requirements. Made from high-density polyethylene, the Standard Dimension Ratio 11-rated inner chambers provide ample protection for all cables and are ideally sized for the installation of standard all-dielectric fiber cables up to 144-count. The durable design of the ConQuest Detectable SubDucts permits the use of standard fiber-optic cables construction rather than micro cables.
