Product Description
PLB HDPE Duct is formed by co extrusion technique and are mainly used for laying optical fiber cable. It is made by using Permanently Lubricated Ducts is High Density Poly Ethylene. It is used as underground cable conduits for optical fibre cables ideal for cable installation by blowing technique and pulling by rope. The PLB HDPE Duct comprises of 2 concentric layers, the outer layer is HDPE and co extruded with an inner layer of solid silicone permanent lubricant to reduce the internal coefficient of fraction .
Superior Protection for Cable InstallationsCrafted from virgin HDPE PE 63/80/100, these PLB HDPE ducts provide remarkable protection for telecom and optical fiber cables. Their smooth inner surface reduces friction, aiding efficient cable pulling and accommodating substantial pulling forces up to 1200 N. Enhanced flexibility and high impact strength allow installation in challenging environments, ensuring both longevity and reliable performance.
Adaptable and Easy InstallationSuitable for trenchless or direct buried setups, these ducts offer high flexibility and a minimal bend radius, making them ideal for complex onsite conditions. Available in customized lengths and various colors for easy identification, their connection options include butt-fusion welding or mechanical couplers, ensuring a secure, water- and dust-tight seal during installation. Their continuous marking facilitates seamless meter reading and future maintenance.
FAQs of PLB HDPE Duct:
Q: How are PLB HDPE ducts typically installed underground?
A: PLB HDPE ducts are installed using trenchless or direct buried methods. Their flexibility and robust structure allow for straightforward installation using minimal equipment, and connection is achieved through butt-fusion welded joints or mechanical couplers for a reliable, watertight seal.
Q: What benefits do the continuous and permanent markings offer?
A: The continuous and permanent markings enable easy identification of duct type, manufacturer, and length. This makes meter reading, maintenance, and troubleshooting more efficient during and after installation.
Q: When should I select PLB HDPE ducts for my cable projects?
A: PLB HDPE ducts are ideal for projects requiring underground cable protection, such as telecom or optical fiber cable installations, especially where high durability, flexibility, and long life expectancy are crucial due to environmental exposure.
Q: Where can PLB HDPE ducts be used?
A: These ducts are widely used in outdoor and underground environments, particularly for the protection and ducting of electrical and telecom cables across urban, rural, and industrial settings due to their resistance to chemicals, UV, and moisture.
Q: What process is used to connect different sections of these ducts?
A: Sections of PLB HDPE ducts can be connected using either butt-fusion welding or mechanical couplers. Both methods ensure a secure, water- and dust-tight connection necessary for reliable long-term service.
Q: What is the maximum cable pulling force the duct can withstand?
A: The PLB HDPE duct can accommodate cable pulling forces up to 1200 N, minimizing risk of damage during cable installation and ensuring safe handling of high-tension cables.
Q: What long-term usage benefits does this duct provide?
A: With a life expectancy of over 50 years under recommended use and compliance with IS and TEC standards, these ducts offer lasting cable protection, minimizing replacement and maintenance costs significantly.
