3 MATERIALS
3.1 Microduct
The microducts are made using RAU-PE 3204.
Material properties at 23 °C:
- Average density: > 0.94 g/cm³
- Coefficient of linear expansion: 0.2 mm/m x K
- Thermal conductivity: 0.41 WK-1m -1
- Modulus of elasticity: Short term: min. 800 N/mm²
Long-term: min. 160 N/mm²
- Specific surface resistance: > 1012 Ω
- Internal pressure test: 170 h/80 °C/4 N/mm2
- UV resistance: 3 years central Europe climate
according to EN ISO 4892-2
Fire behaviour:
- RAU-PE has normal flame-resistance according to DIN 4102, class B2
3.2 Duct bundle sheathing
The sheathing is made of RAU-PP.
Material properties
- Average density: > 0.9 g/cm3
- Coefficient of linear expansion: 0.14 mm/m x K
- Thermal conductivity: 0.2 WK-1 m-1
- Modulus of elasticity: Short term: min. 1250 N/mm²
Long-term: min. 310 N/mm²
- Specific surface resistance: > 1012 Ω
- UV resistance: 3 years central Europe climate
according to EN ISO 4892-2
Fire behaviour:
- RAU-PP has normal flame-resistance according to DIN 4102, class B2
Why PP as sheath material?
The material Polypropylen (PP) provides more than
50% higher yield stress (PP: 33 N/mm²) than a PE-HD with
only approx. 20 N/mm². This means that a thinner wall
thickness can be used for the same tensile strength of the
material. This makes it easier to open the duct bundle sheath
for house connections and reduces the risk of damage.
In case of RAUSPEED Xtreme the extra thick sheath contributes
considerably to the tensile strength and the protection of the
micro ducts during HDD drilling.

4 IDENTIFICATION
4.1 RAUSPEED microduct 4.2 RAUSPEED duct bundle
The identification of the microducts made from PE-HD is carried out PP microduct bundles are identified using permanent inkjet marking at
using permanent, abrasion-resistant inkjet printing at 1 m distance intervals of 1 m with the following information:
with the following information:
- Manufacturer and range of use: REHAU RAUSPEED
- Manufacturer and range of use: REHAU RAUSPEED - Number of ducts x outer diameter / wall thickness in mm: 12 x 10 / 6
- Material: HDPE - Production date (day, month, year): e.g. 15/01/2020
- Outer diameter / inner diameter in mm: 7 / 4 - Shift
- Production date (day, month, year): e.g. 15/01/2020 - Machine
- Shift - Meterage: e.g. 001 m
- Machine - Additionally every 10 cm the corresponding duct number
- Meterage: e.g. 001 m
Translucent colour to identify occupation, with coloured stripes.
The microducts in duct bundles are marked with two coextruded,
opposing coloured stripes and with the corresponding duct number at
intervals of 10 cm for identification. In doing so, each microduct can
be clearly allocated to a building in the design and installation process.
For identification the microducts within duct bundles are extruded
with two opposing coloured strips and for additional security with the
respective duct number signed at every 10 cm intervals. Thus, during
design and installation each microduct can be assigned to the
respective building.

4.3 Colour coding
The following tables show the two possible colour codes for the individual duct numbers in the bundle. This colour sequence applies to all duct
bundle variants.
To guarantee clear assignment and documentation during planning and on the construction site, please refer to Documentation for microduct

The familiar handling regulations are to be observed
when transporting and handling cable drums. When
moving the drums on uneven ground, ensure that the duct
bundles do not become loose and the duct bundle is not
dragged across the ground.
Direct contact of duct bundle with uneven ground must be
avoided. The special drum frame support should also be used
for storage.

29RAUSPEED empty optical fibre cabinet
Aboveground optical fibre cabinets are the starting point for the last
mile and easy-to-access distribution points in passive optical
networks. An optical fibre cabinet contains both the incoming feeder
cables and the outgoing duct bundles or microducts which branch out
to the customer. The individual fibre optical cables are generally blown
in from the optical fibre cabinet.
The optical fibre cabinet can be first used as an empty housing if a
passive duct network is built without installing any fibre optical cables
initially. Duct management and splice cassettes can be easily
retrofitted to the cabinet at a later stage.
The empty cabinet ensures a clean termination and protects empty
ducts until they are occupied.
Characteristics of the empty cabinet:
- Weather and corrosion-resistant
- IP54 protection rating (dust- and water-tight) with roof waterproofing
- Finish coating in RAL 7038 (agate grey), anti-graffiti paint
- Base with defined breaking point (to protect against impact from a
vehicle)
- Housing can be easily replaced if damaged
- Sleeves to absorb tractive force from the duct bundles in the base
- Door with lever locking system
- Fully separable and recyclable
- Deutsche Telekom AG approved
Advantage of an empty optical fibre cabinet:
- Clean termination for duct bundles above ground
- Tidy streetspace
- Easily accessible for subsequent network operators/blow-in
- No head hole required at a later stage
- Easy to feed the ducts into the housing thanks to the open
trench during installation of the cabinet.

RAUSPEED microducts and accessories who have been trained on
how to handle the material correctly.
REHAU offers complimentary installer workshops and additionally
on-site training to ensure correct installation.
During installation work, it is essential to observe trade
association and work safety regulations, road traffic
regulations, general technical construction regulations and all
applicable laws and ordinances.
8.2 Transport, storage and uncoiling
Transport
- The drums should be transported on suitable vehicles and loaded
and unloaded correctly.
- The duct bundles are sealed with heat-shrink caps and the
microducts with transport caps to prevent them to become dirty.
- Point loading and contact with sharp objects must be avoided during
transport.
- The drums should always be transported on the supplied drum
support frame. Thanks to the special drum support frame with a
protective guard, forklift forks can be inserted under the duct
bundles on both sides without damaging the ducts.
Storage
- All materials must be stored so that they cannot become
contaminated or damaged.
- The ends of the microducts in duct bundles must always be securely
sealed during storage to prevent water from penetrating and dirt
from entering (RAUSPEED transport caps or heat-shrink caps for
temporary, sand-tight enclosure; RAUSPEED end caps for longer-
term, pressure-tight seal).
- The drums should be stored on the supplied drum support frame on
level ground or suitable supports to prevent the ducts getting into
contact with the ground.
- You must prevent any damage and deformation to the ducts as this
may reduce the blow-in lengths and performance.
34The drums come with an information sign when delivered, which displays the guidelines for transport, storage and drum handling in a clear way.

Temperatures
The following temperatures are to be observed: - The individual ducts should be protected against direct sunlight,
Transport and storage: –10 to +50 °C despite the integral UV protection, if they are stored outdoors for
Installation: –10 to +50 °C several months (e.g. by covering with light-coloured foil or UV
Blowing-in: – 5 to +35 °C protection film).
Optimal installation and blow-in: + 5 to +20 °C - At temperatures >50 °C, low mechanical loads could result in
deformations; the material must not be exposed to any impact loads
at < -15 °C.
- At temperatures below zero, it is more difficult to handle ducts and
greater bending radii must be used. It is recommended to store the
ducts in heated rooms until immediately prior to installation.
- The temperature-related length variation in ducts must be taken into
account when cutting ducts in length. A HDPE duct expands or
shrinks 0.2 mm per metre of length if the duct wall temperature
rises or falls 1 Kelvin (1 K = 1 °C). The duct shrinks by 1 mm per
metre of duct length when the temperature drops by –5 °C.

368.3 Installation methods
Installation in duct (direct install) DI
Thin-walled microducts with walls less than 1.5 mm thick cannot
be laid directly in the ground and are therefore only suitable for
installation in a duct. The same applies to duct bundles with thin-
walled individual ducts.
If there are existing ducts already installed can avoid the expense
of excavation.

Blowing in RAUSPEED of microducts
Microducts can be blown into HDPE ducts with interior grooving using
conventional blowing-in devices and a compressor. The manufacturer's
instructions are to be observed during the blowing-in process.
Compressed air needs to be applied into the microducts to increase
rigidity shortly before the microducts are blown into the ducts. This
prevents the microducts lying on top of each other and twisting when
being blown into the ducts, which would reduce the blow-in length.
Furthermore, the applied air pressure reduces microduct ovality. For
this purpose, the microducts are subjected to an air pressure of about
10 bar on the inside of the microducts while the microducts are still on
the drum. The ducts remain on the drum in this condition for one hour.
The ends of the microducts are sealed with RAUSPEED end caps to
ensure pressure can be applied.
A number of microducts can be blown into a duct at the same time.
To do so, the drums for the microducts are placed on a suitable drum
support frame. The optimum occupancy value for the duct is 40% to
ensure high blow-in lengths are achieved (see separate datasheet on
duct occupancy available on request).
It is not recommended to blow in more microducts into a duct, which
already contains ducts or cable.
Only individual microducts can be blown into ducts, not duct bundles.
Duct bundles can be pulled into ducts.
37Pulling in RAUSPEED microducts and duct bundles into existing ducts
Pulling in thick-walled microducts and duct bundles is especially suitable for existing ducts without interior grooving. Microducts and duct
bundles can both be pulled in using a cable grip or individual pulling head.
- Ensure that you always seal the ends of the microducts.
- Ensure that you do apply not too high tractive forces when pulling in the microducts (see Section 6.1 on page 11) for maximal pulling forces.
Experience has shown that the pull-in length is generally less than the blow-in length.
Example of cable pulling grip Example of pulling head (source: Vetter)
38Installation in an open trench
All thick walled microducts (wall thickness equal or more than 1,5 mm)
can be installed as single microducts or as a duct bundle directly in
the ground (direct bury DB) in sand bed to be used to ensure that
coarser soil components cannot migrate to the microducts.
- You must not pull the microducts over sharp edges or kink them
during installation.
- Always keep the microduct ends sealed during installation to ensure
that no dirt or water get inside the microducts. Always use the
transparent RAUSPEED end caps for installation and not the yellow
transport caps to ensure a long-lasting, air- and watertight seal.
Professional duct bedding:

If rippling in the trench base is not levelled out, this rippling is
