Microduct Single pipes are suitable for use in network applications such as FttH (Fibre to the Home), FttB (Fibre to the Building), FttC (Fibre to the Curb) or the last mile. Using the Sanbor Microduct Single, branches from new or existing pipe routes for the end customer connection or switching points can be realised.
Product Description
Various Application
Sanbor manufactures many different sizes and configurations of Microducts for a variety of applications, such as: Backbone, Back-haul, Direct Buried, Directional Drilling, Over-Rides and populating existing conduits. In order to get the best product performance, please follow the suggested guidelines for choosing the best Microduct.
Direct Burried (DI)
In applications where the Microducts will be directly buried or bundled into several configurations, we recommend using a thicker walled Microduct to maintain the optimum fill ratios and have faster, easier installations.
Direct Install (DI)
In applications where the Microduct or Microduct Multi configuration will be placed inside an existing conduit, like an Over-Ride or populating and existing conduit, we recommend using a thinner walled product where protection is provided by the existing conduit and space is more sensitive.
Features
- Ribbed or smooth inner wall
- Trace Wire for the location detection
- Trace Wire for the location detection
- Color and marking can be customized
- Optional Silicone lubricated lining
Silicone Inner Lining
Microduct Installations are done by an air blowing technique that reduces the risk of damage to the fiber cable, accelerates installation time and increases the installation distance.
Sanbor Microducts and ducts can be produced with a permanent Silicone lining. Permanent solid silicone is co-extruded inside the tube of microduct, creating a permanent slippery wall.
Upgrade Silicone Lining helps to increase the blowing speed and reduce the time on installation by reducing the coefficient of friction.

General features
Sanbor Microduct Pipe is a bundle of pipes that is made up of several ducts. This pipe bundle is used in network applications such as Ftth (Fibre to the Home) They are suitable for direct buried installation and for inserting or pushing into cable shafts, into ducts or other pipe systems.
In Direct Buried (BD) applications, the Microducts will be directly buried, or bundled into Bundle configurations.
Using a thicker walled Microduct is recommended to maintain the optimum fill ratios and have faster, easier installations.
In Direct Install (DI) applications, the Microduct or Bundle configurations will be placed inside an existing conduit, like an Over-Ride or populating an existing conduit. A thinner walled product is recommended where protection is provided by the existing conduit and space is more sensitive.
Characteristics of Microduct Pipes
- Highly resistant to crushing and external impacts
- Suitable for all environments (green or brown fields)
- Optional ribbed surface that enables cable blowing
- Reduced coefficient of friction
- Future proof, can accommodate more cables
- Cost-effective repairs of upgrades
- Requires less connections
Advantages of Microduct over Traditional Methods
- Microduct products are easily and quickly intalled in direct buried applications using minimally invasive micro-trenching equipment.
- Microduct pathways offer superior mechanical and enviromental protection for lightweight microfiber optical cables, which can be easily installed using various air blowing techniques, or traditional cable pulling / pushing methods.
- Microduct patway systems offer telecom carriers increased flexibility de to the ease at which service laterals and drops can be reconfigured and installed as customer demand increases.
