What is a direct burial cable?
Direct burial cable (DBC) is a type of communication cable that is configured for installation below ground without having to include any special type of protective cover around the cable. Unlike other cable solutions, this means that the direct funeral cable does not have to be included in any type of pipe, mantle or other protective coating to maintain integrity. The cable of this type can be used to transmit transmissions such as audio and data information, and usually allows data transfer to and from multiple points.
The nature of the direct cable is such that there is no need to provide any type of external protection. The cable of this type is formulated to withstand damage due to heat or humidity, and can also bounce any elements in the surrounding soil that could cause the cable to experience a high level of deterioration. This is achieved by furnishing a direct buried cable with a much stronger insulating coat than it is located at the communication cables, with different strategies such asExtra thick rubber covers or insulators, inclusion of gels designed to absorb shock, and a metal core that adds additional strength and protection to the fibers they actually transmit.
Voice and data transmission quality achieved using a direct burial cable is at least as high as quality provided by other cable solutions. In some cases, DBC optical fiber design will provide excellent quality compared to older cable cable forms. It is not uncommon for this newer technology to be used when there is a need to replace older impaired communication cables, allowing providers to gradually upgrade their network to take advantage of the benefits that this solution offers.
The main advantage of the direct cable is that this solution can be installed with relatives of small efforts because there is no need to prepare the soil where the cable is laid by installing pipes or creatingother accommodation. The cable is basically, as the name suggests; The cable is buried directly on Earth below ground, covered and is ready to use voice and data. Since the cable is separate and is able to withstand many elements that accelerate the deterioration of other cable forms, DBC also offers benefits of less frequent substitutes and a greater chance of maintaining integrity even in a natural disaster.
As with any type of cable, it is possible for the cable to be directly buried during some type of excavation. To some extent, the risk of pruning the cable when digging in the area is more pronounced because there is no protective pipe that would prevent blades from the sole and other heavy equipment in contact with DBC. Fortunately, the damage of this type of Be can quickly repair and restore the data flow in a short period of time.
Another potential disadvantage with the use of a direct strengthening cable is the cost of purchasing and installation. The cable of this type is more expensive than other solutions. TThe ENTO expenditure is partially compensated by savings generated by not using different means of external DBC protection, as well as the longer life of the cable itself, except for any type of damage during the excavation.
