PLB HDPE Ducts
Om Optel Permanently Lubricated HDPE Ducts are formed by co extrusion technique and are used for laying Optical Fiber Cables as under ground ducting / conduits.
MATERIAL : The base raw material being used for the manufacturing Permanently Lubricated Ducts is High Density Poly Ethylene. The grade of raw material is ultra violet grade and is confirming to IS:7328-1992 & IS : 2523 or ISO : 1183 & ISO : 1133 and is designated as PEELA-50T-012 (CACT Approved) and inner layer permanently lubricated material DOW CORNING grade-50MB002.
APPLICATIONS : Telecommunication, Computer Network, Automatic Signaling, Railways Information Network. Highways, Cable Service Providers, Broad Band networks, Electric cable installation etc.
ADVANTAGES
- • Reduction of stress on cable during installation.
- • Installation of Longer lengths made feasible.
- • Negotiations of cable movement through bends and deflections are easier.
- • Reduction of number of joints and minimizes number of splices.
- • Faster and easy installation of cable with lesser man power.
- • Reduction of overall cost of installation, maintenance and future upgrades.
- • Retains it's properties throughout it's life.
- • Existing cables can be deployed after de-blowing from the duct.
- • This does not have toxic and dermatic hazards and is safe handling.
