The GABO speedpipe indoor system, type 3513, is a specially designed pull-in system for the installation of fiber bundles, micro- and mini-cables within buildings. It was conceived by gabocom and complies with the requirements of the EU Low Voltage Directive 2014/35/EU. The system has been fully tested according to the standard EN 61386-22, ensuring compliance with legal safety objectives, installation and laying regulations, as well as compatibility with fire barriers. The speedpipe indoor are flame retardant and have been tested for halogen-free properties in accordance with EN 60684-2 and low smoke emission in accordance with EN 61034-2, making them particularly suitable for use in indoor environments.

Applications

The speedpipe indoor system is designed for installation in buildings, particularly in ducts, tunnels, or other enclosed laying areas. The reinforced wall thickness provides increased mechanical strength, enabling use in areas with higher mechanical stress potential. The optimized glide ribs inside the pipe ensure a low-friction pull-in of cables and fibers, making the installation more efficient and safer.

Functions and Equipment in Detail

The speedpipe indoor are internally equipped with specially designed glide ribs that facilitate the pull-in of fiber bundles, micro- and mini-cables. This construction reduces friction and minimizes the risk of damage during installation. The reinforced wall thickness of the pipes increases mechanical stability, which is particularly advantageous when laying in ducts or tunnels. The materials are flame retardant and meet requirements for halogen-free and low-smoke properties, enhancing safety within buildings.

Technology Explained Simply

The speedpipe indoor are made from a special plastic material that is flame retardant and meets the requirements of standards EN 60684-2 (halogen-free) and EN 61034-2 (low smoke emission). These properties are crucial for indoor use, where avoiding toxic fumes and smoke during a fire is of high importance. The glide ribs inside the pipe are designed to minimize resistance during cable pull-in, increasing work speed and reducing the risk of cable damage. The reinforced wall thickness provides higher mechanical load capacity, enabling use in structurally demanding environments.

Compatibility and Accessories

The speedpipe indoor system is compatible with a wide range of accessories required for installation and operation. These include, for example, speedpipe cutters (item 1204), VADT splice connections (e.g. 150C049HK0050E), indoor bends (1415, 1414), single pull-in seals (1324, 1320), blow-in couplings (1335), double socket couplings (1220), identification rings (2017), end plugs (1694), and dust caps (1968). These components enable flexible and secure installation, especially when laying in complex building structures. The use of OpDAT products such as the VADT splice or the I-DH 4 G.657A2 (UC home fibre idrop 250 drag & blow) is also possible, although exact compatibility depends on the specific installation requirements.

Installation and Mounting

The speedpipe indoor are delivered on wooden single-use spools or plastic spools (in cardboard packaging), optimized for transport and installation. The spools facilitate handling and laying, especially over long distances. Installation is carried out by blowing or pulling cables into the pipe, with the glide ribs supporting the process. Laying can take place in ducts, tunnels, or other enclosed areas, with the reinforced wall thickness providing additional safety. The use of accessories such as indoor bends or seals is recommended to ensure a tight and secure installation.

Operational Advantages

The speedpipe indoor system offers high safety through flame retardant, halogen-free, and low-smoke materials, complying with the EU Low Voltage Directive. The optimized glide ribs ensure low-friction pull-in, increasing installation speed and reducing the risk of cable damage. The reinforced wall thickness increases mechanical load capacity, enabling use in demanding environments. Compatibility with various accessories expands application possibilities and allows flexible adaptation to specific installation requirements. Delivery on optimized spools facilitates transport and installation, especially for long laying distances.
