Direct Buried Fiber Optic Cables | Optical
In the absence of duct infrastructure, cables can be buried directly into the ground in a trench or using a vibratory plow.

Direct-burial fiber cable eliminates the need for continuous conduit runs and can be faster and more cost-effective on long, open runs. But because the cable sits in soil exposed to moisture, load, rodents and excavation risk, planning and execution must be careful. 01 This procedure provides general information for the installation of Prysmian fiber optic cables in direct buried applications. The methods described are intended for guideline use only, as it is impossible to cover all the various conditions that may arise during an installation. In the absence of duct infrastructure, cables can be buried directly into the ground in a trench or using a vibratory plow.
