The ICT industry has long been divided between outside plant and inside plant technologies, but fabric interduct is bridging that gap with its space-saving mesh design and cost-saving benefits. Tyler Andrews from Maxell explains how this textile-based solution can triple conduit capacity while cutting installation costs in half.

• Provides dedicated pathways for cable within conduit while using significantly less space
• Created in 1997 when an engineer and his wife sewed the first prototype to solve conduit space limitations
• Requires a swivel during installation to prevent twisting – the most crucial installation requirement
• Comes in various configurations including 2-cell and 4-cell options for maximum pathway flexibility
• Reduces total operating costs by approximately 50% compared to rigid HDPE innerduct
• Available in plenum-rated versions for inside plant applications
• Supports up to 12 separate pathways in a single 4-inch conduit
• Installation is easier and faster with lower friction coefficient than traditional innerduct
• Maxell offers Bicsi-accredited training (2 CECs) for proper design and installation techniques
