Key Features & Benefits

✔ Four independent fiber pathways

It is possible to run multiple cables, create diversion routes, or use the fiber lines of the operator all inside the same building.

✔ 25/20MM huge capacity

The 20 mm bore is the one which enables longer blowing distances of the cable and higher fiber counts to the fullest.

✔ Square profile for high mechanical strength

The uniform load distribution prevents deformation in deep trenches, road crossings, and HDD routes.

✔ Made from PE100 HDPE (High-Density Polyethylene)

The first-class material grants the product with long life, flexibility, and resistance to adverse climate conditions.

✔ Smooth inner surface for better blowing performance

Friction is removed, the installation speed is boosted, and the required effort is minimized.

✔ Weather-resistant & UV stabilized

The black pipe is colored with UV-stable carbon black and bears blue stripes to indicate telecom installations.

✔ Perfect for Gulf climates

It can withstand the scorching heat, sand, and the environment of buried infrastructure.

✔ Compatible with micro-trenching, direct burial & duct-in-duct

Installation methods are many and flexible as needed in GCC cities.

✔ Long-term investment (50+ year design life)

No rust, little maintenance, and high reliability are the costs.

Material Construction — Why PE100 is Superior

Of all the common plastics used in telecom ducts, Polyethylene PE100 has the highest ranking due to its exceptional properties such as:

  • Incredibly high tensile strength
  • Superior environmental stress cracking resistance
  • High temperature limits of good thermal tolerance
  • Excellent ultraviolet radiation protection
  • Creep resistance under constant load for a long time
  • No chemical interaction with the surrounding materials
  • Extensive flexibility without fracture

The production of the square 4-way extrusion is done through a precise multi-layer technique that ensures:

Exact size retention

  • Uniformity of the wall thickness across the entire length
  • Completely bonded ducts
  • Consistently smooth internal surface

All these factors contribute to the reliable distances for cable blowing, which is very important in the case of fast installations.

Installation Methods (Detailed GCC Guide)

A. Micro-Trenching

  • Make a narrow cut trench (60 to 120 mm).
  • Put in a square multi-duct.
  • Fill with sand and sealing compound.
  • Reinstall asphalt.

B. Direct Burial

  • Dig the trenches of 60 to 90 cm depth.
  • Bed with fine sand.
  • Put warning tape.
  • Compact properly.

C. Duct-in-Duct (Retrofit)

  • Insert a complete 4-way assembly into a larger HDPE pipe.
  • This is a perfect way to increase capacity without digging anew.

D. HDD (Horizontal Directional Drilling)

  • It can be used for crossing highways.
  • The square profile causes the pulling forces to be distributed evenly.

E. Aerial Installations

They are possible by means of support cables (if approved).

Cable Blowing & Internal Performance

The 20MM bore supports:

  • Blown fiber cables

  • Mini cables up to 12–14MM OD

  • High fiber-count micro cables (96–288F)

  • Jetting/blowing over long distances

Low friction coefficient ensures efficient performance even under Gulf heat conditions.

Advantages in Gulf Environments

✔ High heat resistance

Tempura portable at the highest observed in Riyadh, Dammam, Jeddah, Muscat & Dubai.

✔ Abrasion resistance

Desert sand cannot damage the ducts.

✔ Chemical resistance

Has no effect in the presence of industrial and refinery areas.

✔ UV stability

The black and blue stripes combo allows the product to be kept and routed without sun protection.

✔ Long lifespan

PVC, PE80, and low-grade ducting have no more to go than this.

Testing & Certifications Required in GCC Projects

Request from manufacturer:

  • Dimensional accuracy certificates

  • Crush resistance / ring stiffness tests

  • Material verification (PE100 resin)

  • UV weathering test

  • ESCR (Stress crack resistance)
