FieldShield Direct Bury 14/10 mm Microduct
Simplifying the placement of fiber, while providing protection from harsh environmental elements, FieldShield Direct Bury 14/10 mm Microduct is specifically designed for applications requiring a small heavy duty drop feed. Rugged crush resistance protects FieldShield Direct Bury Microduct from the rigors of all industry standard ground deployment methods, while rigid column strength allows microducts to be deployed through occupied duct previously thought exhausted. Direct Bury 14/10 mm Microduct has an outer diameter of 14 mm and an inner diameter of 10 mm.
