Overview
High-density polyethylene (HDPE) ducts or pipes have made substantial inroads in the Telco sector in recent years.
Compared to other types of cable protection conduits, such as Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) or Metal Pipes (MET), HDPE ducts and pipes offer unmatched corrosion and chemical resistance. In addition to superior flexibility and stability, it is easier to install fiber optic and copper cables, especially to follow contours or in curved sections.
KUPP America is a trusted partner in the telecommunications industry in Costa Rica, serving clients such as Instituto Costarricense de Electricidad (ICE). We supply top-notch HDPE ducts and pipes to facilitate the smooth installation of underground fiber optics and other telecommunication cables.

HDPE Products Installation and Design
Telcos use various installation methods for HDPE (high-density polyethylene) ducts or pipes, including Horizontal Directional Drilling (HDD), pipe bursting, slip lining, open cut (Trenching), and jack and bore. Telcos choose from these methods based on project requirements, environmental considerations, and cost-effectiveness. Each method balances the need for efficient installation with minimizing surface disruption.
Telcos use various installation designs for HDPE (high-density polyethylene) ducts or pipes, including underground installations, aerial Installations, and Last-mile (in-building) Installations. Whereas underground installations offer greater resilience but come with short-term higher costs and complexities, last mile (in-building) networks provide localized, high-speed connectivity but require careful planning and investment, and direct burial is faster and more straightforward but provides less protection.
