Optic
Fibre Cables:
DUCTING
FOR TELECOMMUNICATION SYSTEM ALONG MUMBAI-PUNE EXPRESSWAY
Maharashtra
State Road Development Corporation (MSRDC) has decided to lay six ducts for
fibre optics along the Mumbai-Pune Expressway for various prospective users.
These High Density Polymer ducts have silica coating from inside to make
them almost frictionless. Each duct has an inner diameter of 26.. and an
outer diameter of 32mm and can accommodate one cable of fibre optic capable
of having more than 10,000 channels. Along the road, joining chambers will
be provided at every 2km distance for splicing of two cables.
These
ducts would be given on lease to various users for laying their own fibre
optics. Agencies like Hughes Ispat, AT&T etc., are potential users for
the same. Availability of such ducts will avoid frequent digging of roads
for laying telecom cables and also help in considerably reducing cable
laying time. This will accelerate the development of the telecom system in
this area.
This
project is the first of its kind in this country in that a road development
agency is also laying telecom ducts for various prospective users.
