Microtube HDPE Ø12/8mm Red

Fiber Optic Microduct for Direct Burial, Orange Color

The fiber optic microduct is a high-quality solution designed for building microduct and micro-pipeline fiber optic networks. Made from durable medium-density polyethylene (MDPE), the product offers excellent resistance to compression, tension, chemicals, and material aging—ensuring long-term network reliability even after many years of use.

Its internally grooved surface reduces the coefficient of friction (<0.07), enabling quick and hassle-free cable installation using both blowing and pulling methods. The microduct is semi-transparent, which allows for easy identification of its contents during installation and maintenance.

Key Product Features:

• Internal grooves reduce friction – simplify cable installation.

• Installation temperature: from +5°C to +50°C; Operating temperature: from -40°C to +70°C.

• High resistance to inductive currents, most chemicals, and harsh environmental conditions.

• Available in multiple color variants for easy network identification.

• Available lengths: 100 m, 200 m, or on drums (1–2 km).

• Flammable product – must be used in compliance with fire safety regulations.

Applications:

Ideal for building modern, easily expandable fiber optic networks in both urban and industrial infrastructure. It allows for quick upgrades and fiber replacement in response to changing demand.

• Fiber optic microduct networks – suitable for new installations and retrofitting existing networks.

• FTTH (Fiber to the Home) – delivers fiber connections directly to residential or commercial buildings.

• Urban and industrial infrastructure – for core and distribution fiber routes in cities, industrial zones, and residential areas.

• Connections between telecom cabinets, manholes, and network nodes – enables fast, convenient routing of micro cables.

• Monitoring and automation systems – supports data transmission for smart city and Industry 4.0 solutions.

• Specialized installations – such as in railway systems, energy infrastructure, tunnels, and restricted-access areas, where environmental resistance is essential.

These microducts allow easy and cost-effective network expansion without the need for expensive earthworks—new fibers can simply be blown into existing microducts. This forward-looking solution minimizes operational costs and provides exceptional flexibility in network management.

Versions with Pulling Wire – What Does It Mean?
Microducts are also available in versions with a pre-installed pulling wire (commonly nylon or steel), which greatly simplifies the cable installation process. The pulling wire acts as a guide, allowing for quick and easy cable insertion without the need for additional tools or blowing equipment.

This product is without a pulling wire, meaning the user must employ their own guide wire or use a cable blowing method for installation.

The choice between versions depends on the preferred installation technique and project specifics—on more complex routes or longer sections, a pulling wire can significantly speed up the process.
