Direct Bury (DB) 7-way 7/3.5mm

HDPE Tube Bundle

Direct Bury (DB) 7-way 7/3.5mm

A bundle of micro- or mini-tubes with strengthened wall thickness is encased in a single thin HDPE sheath, forming a duct assembly specifically engineered for fiber optical cable deployment. This robust design enables versatile installation—either retrofitted into existing ducts or directly buried underground—supporting seamless integration into fiber optical cable networks.

The micro ducts are optimized for high-efficiency fiber optical cable blowing, featuring an ultra-smooth inner surface with low-friction properties to minimize resistance during air-assisted cable insertion. Each micro duct is color-coded per Figure 1, facilitating quick identification and routing of fiber optical cable types (e.g., single-mode, multi-mode) during network installation and maintenance.

Steel Insulated Clevis

Insulated Clevis is a specialized type of clevis designed for use in electrical power distribution systems. It is constructed with insulating materials such as polymer or fiberglass, which encase the metal components of the clevis to prevent electrical conductivity are used to securely attach electrical conductors, such as power lines or cables, to insulators or other hardware on utility poles or structures. By isolating the conductor from the metal clevis, these components help minimize the risk of electrical faults or short circuits caused by accidental contact with the clevis. Spool Insulator Bracke are essential for maintaining the safety and reliability of power distribution networks.
