Direct Burial Cable is designed to be placed directly under the ground either by trenching or ploughing. The metallic cable is armoured with corrugated steel tape that provides good protection against rodents and allows the cable to retain outstanding flexibility for easy installation. The cable design is available in unitube (up to 24 fibres) and multitube single sheathed/ double sheathed construction (up to 96 fibres).
Loose tube containing fibres and jelly is centrally located and additional glass reinforcements are applied to provide high tensile strength and cushion loose tube. Armour of corrugated steel tape provides high crush resistance & tensile strength. Steel wire strength members are embedded in HDPE sheath to provide extra tensile strength.
The corrugated steel tape is co-polymer coated at both sides.
