microducts
Microducts are small-diameter protective conduits used to route fiber optic cables in telecommunications networks. They are a key component of microduct systems, which enable modular, scalable deployment of fiber, particularly for fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) and related architectures. A microduct network often consists of many individual microducts laid in parallel or bundled inside a larger duct.
Microducts are typically made from durable polymers such as HDPE or PVC. They have a smooth inner
Microducts are installed in trenches, duct banks, building cavities, or along existing infrastructure. They are commonly
Microducts support FTTH deployments, urban and rural fiber access, and campus or building networks. They enable
Limitations and considerations
System performance depends on duct cleanliness, proper lubrication, and adherence to bending radii and installation tolerances.
