Overview

The ABB Riser-Gard Fiber Optic Corrugated Conduit, SKU DF4X1C-250, is a 1-inch PVC conduit engineered specifically for fiber optic cable protection in riser applications. This 250-foot coil features a nominal inner diameter of 0.98 inches and an outer diameter of 1.32 inches, with a consistent 0.060-inch wall thickness to ensure durability while accommodating cable routing. The conduit is constructed from high-quality PVC, offering a balance of flexibility and strength, and weighs 15 lbs per 100 feet for easy handling. Each coil includes a 900 lb. pull tape, facilitating smoother and more efficient cable installation by reducing friction and stress on the fibers. The corrugated design of the conduit enhances its flexibility, allowing for easier installation around corners and obstacles without compromising structural integrity. This design also improves resistance to mechanical damage, such as crushing or impact, which is critical in demanding environments like telecommunications facilities, data centers, and industrial settings. The bright orange color of the conduit serves a dual purpose: it improves visibility during installation and maintenance, reducing the risk of accidental damage, and it meets industry standards for color-coding in cable management systems. Designed for versatility, the DF4X1C-250 is optimized for direct burial applications, providing reliable protection against environmental factors such as moisture, soil pressure, and temperature fluctuations. Standard 250-foot coils are available in bright orange PVC, but custom lengths and colors can be requested to meet specific project needs, subject to minimum order quantities. This conduit is an ideal solution for protecting fiber optic cables in both indoor and outdoor riser applications, offering long-term reliability and ease of installation.
