Underground & Pipeline Fiber Optic Cable

Technological advancement has brought about a revolution in the world of telecommunications, paving the way for faster internet speeds.Underground fiber optic cables are responsible for allowing this increased speed by facilitating faster data transmission over long distances.These underground cables have become essential to most businesses as they enable them to send and receive information quickly and securely.

Advantages of Underground Fiber Optic Cable

Underground fiber optic cable are increasingly being used in telecommunications networks across the world. It is essential to use underground cables when connecting two distant places or cities, as they provide reliable and cost-effective transmission of data. However, there are many other advantages of using underground fiber optic cable. Here are just a few of them:

1. Stronger Performance: Underground fiber optic cable are less prone to signal interference than traditional copper wires that rely on electricity for transmission. This makes them ideal for long-distance connections, as well as for high bandwidth applications like streaming video and audio.

2. Increased Capacity: With fiber optic lines, companies can simultaneously send large amounts of data between two locations without worrying about data loss or signal degradation from external factors such as electrical interference or weather conditions.

3. Cost Efficiency: In the long run, companies save more money by installing an underground fiber optic cable rather than expensive copper wires. Additionally, installation and maintenance costs over time tend to be much lower than traditional cabling solutions since these cables tend to last longer and require fewer repairs due to their improved hardiness in extreme environmental conditions such as rain, snow and heat waves.

4. Durability: One of the most attractive aspects of fiber optic cabling is its robust construction and durability over time-this means that companies don't have to worry about frequent modifications & re-installations as with traditional copper wiring solutions which can become damaged after even a small shift in terrain or ground movements (like an earthquake). Buried deep beneath the earth's surface ensures constant protection from any external factors that would otherwise cause disruption in service.

5. Reduced Risk of Human Interference: Burying your network underground minimizes the chances that an unauthorized person could physically cut through it or gain access to it-greatly reducing the risk of intentional sabotage from hackers or other malicious individuals who may attempt to cause disruption or stealing confidential data/information stored within it.

Applications for Duct Fiber Optic Cable

Duct fiber optic cables are normally installed underground, they are widely applied in metropolitan area network, access network, and used asl feeder cable in a FTTH network.

How Deep Does Fiber Optic Cable Need to be Buried?

Conduits are used to bury fiber optic cable, which is typically done between 3 and 4 feet down, or 36 and 48 inches underground. Aminimum depth of 42 inches is frequently specified in fiber optic cable installation agreements, though some environments consider thel even deeper placement of the conduit.
Does Underground Fiber Optic Cable Need to be in a Conduit?

It is recommended that underground fiber optic cables are installed in a conduit to protect them from environmental hazards andmaintain their integrity.
Can Underground Fiber Optic Cable be buried directly in the ground?

Yes, If the cables are buried directly, they are either plowed in or buried in a trench. Please review our Direct Buried Cable InstallationGuide. .Outdoor fiber cables with steel armor are the most typical cables used for direct burial.

Loose Tube Non-metallic Strength Memb...

2024-04-28

Stranded loose tube non-metallic strength member and non-armored cable (GYFTY) construction is that 250um fibers are positioned in a loose tube which is made of high modulus plastic and filled with a water-resistant filling compound; A fiber reinforced plastic (FRP), sometimes sheathed with polyethylene (PE) for cable with high fiber count, locates in the center of core as a non-metallic strength member; Tubes are stranded around the strength member into a compact and circular cable core; After the cable core is filled with the filling compound which protects it from water ingress, the cable is completed with a polyethylene (PE) sheath.
