Incab Europe cables are rigid yet flexible enough to be installed into tubes and include many options for installation by blowing.
Ducting
Fibre optic cables include dielectric and metallic cables for ducts and utility tunnels.
Direct Buried
Fibre optic cables designed for high reliability in harsh environment.
Submarine
Robust designs applied in the sea between land-based stations to carry telecommunication signals.
Aerial
Aerial cables are designed for installation on distribution and transmission lines.
Indoor
Applied inside buildings (including vertical runs), in trays, channels, on outer sides of buildings, as well as in ducts, tubes and blocks. Suitable for blowing-in into protecting polyethylene tubes.
Drop
Designed for aerial installation on transmission towers, lamp posts, between buildings and structures.
OPGW/Ground Wire
Applied in the construction of fibre-optic link on overhead transmission lines of 35 kV and more.
Fire Rated
Used for stationary installation when the optical fibre needs extra protection from mechanical damages.

Recently in Europe there has been a series of reported cases of severed fibre cables affecting internet connectivity, causing numerous train disruptions, and impacting the communication.
BBC reported subsea cable disruption linking the Shetland Islands to the Scottish mainland.
A major Internet cable in the South of France was damaged a few days ago, impacting subsea cable connectivity to Europe, Asia, and the United States and causing data packet losses and increased website response latency [1].
German rail operator Deutsche Bahn had to stop trains in the north of Germany for 3 hours blaming cable sabotage, Deutsche Welle reports.
Colossal resources and services are then involved to mitigate the impact which could have been avoided given the proper solutions are deployed in the critical infrastructure.
Understanding that resilience is the top priority for both system integrators and users, Incab Europe offers robust cable solutions which can withstand impacts of various nature. Get in touch with the sales team to learn more.
