3.1
unprotected microduct
small, flexible, lightweight tube with an outer diameter typically less than or equal to 16 mm
Note 1 to entry: Unprotected microducts are designed to be contained within a loose or tight outer layer to
form a protected microduct.
3.2
protected microduct
one or more microducts surrounded by a protective sheath and/or protected by a duct/sub-duct
Note 1 to entry: Alternatively a microduct may be regarded as protected if it has a sufficient wall thickness.
3.3
microduct optical fibre cable
optical fibre cable suitable for installation by blowing into a microduct
3.4
microduct fibre unit
fibre unit that is suitable for installation by blowing into a microduct
Note 1 to entry: It differs from a microduct optical fibre cable in that it provides less protection to the fibres that
it contains.
3.5
burst pressure
point at which the microduct fails to contain pressure
3.6
low friction surface
smooth or ribbed internal layer with the purpose of reducing the friction coefficient between microduct
and cable/fibre unit
3.7
anti-static surface
internal layer with the purpose of reducing the antistatic forces between the microduct and the cable/fibre
unit
