GABO 1415 Bend IB7 for Speed-pipe White (873-00053)

Routing microducts around corners or obstacles during fiber optic cable installation can cause excessive bending stress on the optical fibers, leading to signal loss or damage. The GABO 1415 Bend IB7 for Speed-pipe provides a smooth 90° turn that maintains the minimum bend radius, protecting the fiber while simplifying installation.

Who is it for

This bend is intended for technicians and installers working with GABO Speed-pipe® microduct systems, particularly those handling 7 mm outer diameter microducts with 1.5 mm wall thickness. It is suitable for both indoor and outdoor fiber optic cable routing projects.

Main features

Tips

Ensure the microduct is cut cleanly and free of burrs before inserting into the bend. For outdoor installations, position the bend to avoid water accumulation. The push-fit connection requires firm pressure to seat properly; do not use adhesive unless specified by the manufacturer.
