  • Electrical Safety: The insulating material guarantees that no electrical hazard will be present while the installation is taking place.
  • Durability: The product is planned for an underground life of 20-25 years.
  • Cost-Efficiency: The cable damage, maintenance costs, and the corresponding downtime will be significantly less.
  • Compliance: The product is fully compliant with the IEC and BS EN standards for telecom applications.

Applications of PVC Telecom Duct – 32 mm Medium Duty

  1. Residential Fiber Networks: Villas, apartments, and gated communities.
  2. Commercial Underground Cabling: Offices, shopping malls, and skyscrapers.
  3. Light Industrial Projects: Underground installations with low stress.
  4. Urban Fiber Backbones: Conduits buried in streets, sidewalks, and pathways.
  5. Telecom Infrastructure Retrofits: Enhancement of current underground networks.
  6. Indoor/Outdoor Underground Runs: The smooth wall guarantees easy cable pulling even through curves.

How PVC Telecom Duct – 32 mm Medium Duty is Used

Step-by-Step Underground Installation Guide

  • Route Planning: Evaluate trench depth, soil conditions, and the layout of ducts.
  • Trenching: Dig the trench based on the cable and duct depth requirements.
  • Pipe Cutting: Cut the PVC into exact 2-meter pieces with the help of PVC cutters.
  • Joining Sections: Use either PVC couplers or solvent cement to connect for a tight joint.
  • Laying Ducts: Put the ducts in the trench paying attention to the alignment being smooth and the bending of ducts being minimal.
  • Securing Ducts: Make use of spacers or sand bedding to keep the ducts in place.
  • Cable Pulling: Using fish tape, bring fiber optic cables into the smooth-wall duct in a safe manner.
  • Backfilling: Sand or soil will be used to cover the ducts. Proper compaction will be done to avoid soil pressure.
  • Inspection: Check the condition of the duct, stability of the joints, and alignment.

Best Practices for Underground Fiber Installation

  • Always keep the trench depth and duct spacing recommends.
  • The use of sharp bends and kinks should be avoided as they can damage the fiber.
  • During the installation, the duct ends should be capped to keep sand out.
  • Warning tape should be used above the ducts to demarcate the area and prevent accidental excavation.
  • Observe KSA and GCC telecom standards for trenching, spacing, and backfill.

Maintenance & Durability Tips

  • The ducts should be checked at regular intervals to see if there are any cracks or if they have been damaged by UV light.
  • Sand and dirt should be cleared away during the maintenance work.
  • Sections that are damaged should be replaced right away.
  • The duct joints should be kept sealed at all times to block the entry of water.
  • Do not overload with several fiber cables more than the suggested limit.
