HDPE PE100 Mini Duct Full Black 50/40.8 mm
HDPE PE100 MINI-DUCT FULL BLACK 50/40.8 MM
Premium Telecom duct for Fiber Optic Networks in KSA & Gulf
Why 50/40.8 mm Mini-Duct Is Popular in Gulf Telecommunications
The 50/40.8 mm size is widely used in the Gulf for backbone telecom routes and FTTH distribution layers. It supports:
Blown fiber systems
Medium-sized fiber optic cables
Multi-core fiber routing
Duct-in-duct upgrades
Its diameter allows installers to achieve high blowing distances without excessive friction, which is critical in large-scale projects across Riyadh, Jeddah, Dubai, Doha, Muscat, and Kuwait City.
Key Features & Benefits
Composed solely of the PE100 HDPE type
The performance of the PE100 HDPE type is much stronger and has a much longer lifespan compared to the others like the PE80 and the ones made from other polymers.
Smooth Inner Bore
On installation, blowing fiber for long distance becomes easier and takes less time.
Resistance to UV & Weather Conditions
The Gulf region's sunniest and the desert's harshest conditions are no longer a very big challenge.
High Flexibility
This means that the installation could be carried out without any problems in the areas with bends, in the mountains, and through complicated duct routes.
Incredible Crush Resistance
The product has been engineered to withstand the combined forces of road loads, soil pressure, and construction impact as well as trench compaction.
Lifespan of Over 50 Years
Reliable networks are ensured by minimal maintenance.
Non-Conductive Electrically
The telecommunications would be risk-free and no signal quality would be affected.
Moisture & Chemical Resistant
Fiber cables will be safe from getting soaked with salts, moisture, and hydrocarbons that are often found in Gulf soil.

Applications of the 50/40.8 mm Mini-Duct in KSA & Gulf
1. FTTH & FTTx Networks
Used for last-mile fiber distribution and house drop cable protection.
2. Backbone Fiber Routes
Supports large fiber bundles along highways and intercity corridors.
3. 5G Expansion Networks
Required for high-capacity fiber backhaul connecting 5G towers.
4. Smart City Infrastructure
Used in IoT, traffic systems, CCTV, and connected city networks.
5. Data Center Interconnection
Ideal for fiber routing between data centers and network exchange points.
6. Micro-Trenching Applications
Perfect for narrow trench cuts in urban environments like Riyadh, Dubai & Doha.
7. Campus Fiber Networks
Universities, airports, industrial zones, and hospitals.
8. Road & Metro Telecom Systems

Why This Product Is Ideal for KSA & Gulf Conditions
The harsh Middle Eastern environment demands superior materials. This duct is engineered for:
Extreme Heat
Withstands ambient temperatures up to 60°C.
Strong UV Exposure
Black color + UV stabilizers protect the duct for decades.
Saline Soil Conditions
Coastal areas like Dammam, Abu Dhabi & Doha benefit from chemical resistance.
Sand & Abrasion
High-density HDPE resists erosion from moving sand.
Heavy Ground Loads
Ideal for deep burial in desert and highway projects.
Installation Methods
1. Direct Burial
The direct burial method is the most common technique used in Gulf telecom projects. A duct is set up in a trench and afterward, it is covered again with soil.
2. Open-Cut Trenching
This technique is suitable for routes of very long distances.
3. Micro-Trenching
Micro-trenching is gaining acceptance in Riyadh, Abu Dhabi, Dubai, and Doha for urban fiber expansion.
4. HDD (Horizontal Directional Drilling)
HDD is used for:
- Road and rail crossings
- Bridges
- River and lake crossings
5. Duct-in-Duct Installations
Such installations are very much suited for the purpose of upgrading the old telecom networks.
6. Aerial Installations
In rural areas, aerial installations can be tied on to poles.
Advantages for Telecom Contractors
