• Available empty, with a single fiber cord (cable), or pull string pre-installed
• Ideal for new construction as well as existing apartment, condominium,
or office buildings
• Pre-installed fiber cables provide a substantial cost saving deployment method
for FTTX installations with a one-step placement of MicroDuct and fiber cable
• Dura-Line stocks single fiber (SM) cordage for fast deliveries
(Riser and Plenum)
• Ships on small, easy to handle reels
• Complete Installation Guides are available, contact Customer Service or our

SPECIFICATIONS/DETAILS Riser MicroDucts are made from fire retardant materials which are fully approved
by the American ETL (Electrical Testing Laboratories) for Riser applications. ETL LISTED to UL-2024 & CSA
C22.2 No.262-04 and UL-94 V-0 & CSA FT-4
FILL RATIO Choose the correct MicroDuct size based on the Outer Diameter (OD) of desired MicroCable.
Dura-Line recommends a fill ratio of 50% to 75% for optimal cable placement performance. Several factors
impact jetting distance including the condition of route, bends, and equipment.

CONDUIT MARKINGS Permanent marking along MicroDuct includes: material, relevant standards, production
info, and sequential feet or meter markings. Custom options available.
CO-EXTRUDED LINING SILICORE® is co-extruded with the HDPE jacket creating a super slick permanent
lining for higher speed cable jetting and longer, easier cable pulls.
INTERNAL RIBS Standard (except 3.5mm ID which are designed with a standard smooth interior)
OPTIONS
PRE-INSTALLED STRING Factory pre-installed Pull String available in MicroDucts to aid in cable placement.
PRE-INSTALLED FIBER Fiber cable or cordage can be factory pre-installed in MicroDucts

† Safe working pull strength is calculated at 80% of tensile or breaking strength
* Unsupported Bend Radius guidelines should be followed during the installation process. The Supported Bend Radius are post-installation measurements.
