While fiber’s weight and size has gotten many OSP networks out of the ground, underground conduit is still considered the best pathway system in terms of aesthetics and capacity. In areas of ice and high winds, they also offer better protection than aerial systems. These underground systems are also being affected by the shift from copper to fiber.
“Conduit systems are being downsized from 16-way systems using 16 individual pipes to a more normal 6-way system,” says Adams. “The smaller diameter of fiber has also increased the use of ***pathway-maximizing products***, like fabric mesh innerduct”.
