Connectors

These connectors were developed to connect microducts with each other. Our system enables easy, fast connection and disconnection of the microduct.

The connectors’ robust construction includes IP68 water ingress protection and resistance to high-pressure forces, allowing them to be used in direct buried (DB) applications. The transparent body enables easy visual inspection of the cable within the connector. The straight push-in and endstop connectors have a fully plastic design utilizing non-conductive parts only and are also free from metal parts.

The connectors are made in accordance with Standard CEI EN 50411-2-8. In addition, the uniformity of production is ensured by an external, recognized quality assurance program, TUV Süd.

Besides production uniformity, TUV Süd also tests the tightness, any pressure drop during tests, the tensile strength of the microduct as well as the (cyclic) temperature change, waterproofness, and resistance to stress cracking solvents. Further, the connectors are subjected to visual inspection and a salt spray test.

Direct Buried (DB) USE:
CV4580-V4580 – CV4581-V4581 – CV4582-V4582 – CV4750-V4750 models can be used in direct buried installation.
We don’t recommend the burying of thin microduct which can fail in DB conditions while the connector will perform correctly.
