MicroDucts are small diameter conduits ranging from 5-22mm OD that provide a pathway for fiber cables. They are a natural evolution of standard conduits as space in networks is a premium and as new technologies develop, they typically decrease in size. FuturePath is two or more MicroDucts bundled under an oversheath. Both products can be installed using standard Outside Plant (OSP) installation methods in common applications. Choose the correct product by application and installation method listed below.

Dura-Line manufactures standard High Density Polyethylene (HDPE) conduits for standard installation applications such as standard underground, as innerducts in existing conduits, or corrugated products to use in congested areas. HDPE is a flexible and resilient material. It provides superior resistance to natural or mechanical damage, and has excellent low temperature properties to handle cold weather.

Smooth Out/Ribbed In

HDPE Conduit - Smooth out Ribbed In

Smooth Out / Ribbed In

Our popular HDPE duct with a smooth outer wall and internal longitudinal ribs for a reduced coefficient of friction.

Dura-Line offers the widest range of Specialty Conduit products, ranging from Tornado Plus to Locatable to LSZH. Customers using Specialty products leverage the unique characteristics for particular projects. Dura-Line's Specialty Conduits are designed and manufactured to perform to meet application-specific requirements such as aerial, locatable, providing superior mechanical protection, and fire resistant spaces.

Speciality Conduit

DuraSure Sticks

DuraSure conduit allows for exact depth and location of the conduit after it’s been placed in the ground. The design of DuraSure includes a co-extruded highly conductive copper wire encased in HDPE along the entire length of the conduit. The wire emits a signal that can be traced by a hand-held duct locator, displaying the depth and location.

These Applications demonstrate how conduit is used in everyday life throughout our modern world. Considered an intregral part of the construction phase, the long-term return on investment on installing a flexible, easily scalable conduit network system is priceless. Multiple industries rely on clear, consistent, reliable communication technology. Learn more about how Dura-Line products are integral in providing connection.

Tornado

Tornado is specially designed to facilitate faster cable blowing. Developed by Dura-Line’s research team in collaboration with the Indian Institute of Technology, Tornado has outperformed conventional ducts in extensive field trials.

The inner spiral rib design of Tornado creates an air cushion tornado effect, imparting an increased pulling force on the cable. The cable rides on the air cushion, eliminating contact with the duct and greatly reducing the friction. Installations can see two times the cable blowing compared to conventional Smoothwall ducts.
