Premium Fiber Optic Micro-Duct for Telecom Networks in KSA & GCC
Key Features & Advantages
1. The duct is now constructed of PE100 High-Density Polyethylene.
PE100 gives very nice mechanical properties, for example:
- Very high tensile strength
- Working against crack spreading very well
- Better resistance against pressure fluctuations
- Durability (more than 50 years lifetime)
- This is why the duct is chosen for the telecom infrastructure of the region with works close to its transport.
2. Defecting Uv Light Full Black Exterior
The color of full black has the highest effectiveness in heat absorption and contains the highest UV stabilizers, which makes it perfect for the following:
- Installations on rooftops
- Environments that are exposed
- Hot deserts
- Using outdoors for a long time without color fading or becoming brittle
3. Smooth Silicon-Coated Inner Layer
The pipe's inner diameter is coated in silicone with a low-friction that allows:
- Blowing fibers over long distances
- Lower friction and heat
- Faster cable jetting
- Less chance of installation failures
This is very important for the quick installation of modern FTTH/FTTx networks.
4. Micro-Trenching Ready
Suitable for narrow trench installations:
- Saves on excavation costs
- Less civil work time
- Disruption in urban areas is minimized
- Supports fast deployment
- Micro-trenching is becoming a widespread practice across Dubai, Riyadh, Doha, and Muscat.
5. Resistance to High Temperature and Pressure
- Undergoing desert conditions:
- Reliable operation at temperatures ranging from -20°C to +80°C
- Ground pressure won't affect it
- Heavy loads and sand backfill are no longer problems for it
6. Flexible, Lightweight & Easy to install
The duct can be easily turned around and will not kink, at the same time offering a lot of installation flexibility.

2. Duct-in-Duct Bundling
Multiple mini-ducts are inserted into a larger duct to maximize fiber capacity.
3. Direct Burial (with sand or protective layers)
Due to its strong outer wall, the duct is often directly buried in shallow trenches.
4. Micro-Trenching Applications
Installed using cutting wheels that create narrow trenches, significantly lowering cost.
5. Indoor & Rooftop Installations
Its UV resistance makes it suitable for exposed environments.
Performance Benefits
Long distance cable jetting
The technicians can blow micro cables through a distance of 1 to 2 kilometers continuously without stopping.
Less Maintenance
PE100 delivers a performance that lasts long and is very slow in degrading.
Heat Management Improvement
The whole black color plays a role in regulating the temperature and avoiding the duct's melting.
Signal Loss & Damage Risk Reduction
The fiber is safeguarded against:
- Rodents
- Pressure from the soil
- Water
- Particles that cause abrasion
- Shifts in the ground
