How are fiber optic cable ducts constructed
Fiber optic cable is usually (but not always) installed in an innerduct that provides mechanical protection for the fiber optic cable. Generally, the duct is available in plastic, concrete, steel, iron and so on. These ducts protect cables from environmental dangers and allow network upgrades by adding more cables. Also, the optical fibre diameter evolution from 250 to 200 and now 180μm will cable was considered very fragile and must be protected in the ground. Duct fiber optic cable refers to a specific type of optical cable specifically designed for wiring through pre laid ducts (duct materials can be selected based on geographical location, such as concrete, asbestos cement, steel pipes, plastic pipes, etc).
