Wave-Rib Duct
Faster and Further Installations.
Wave-Rib Duct*
Cable placers know that virtually any conduit will work if the
cable diameter is small, placing lengths are short and the
path is straight. However, in the real world of cable placement, increasing demands are being put on cable placing
crews to install more cable per day at less cost. To accomplish these demands, longer lengths of cable need to be
placed to minimize splices, figure eights and set ups.
Experienced cable placing crews know the benefits of
reduced friction when placing cable. With todays advanced
cable blowing equipment, this reduction in friction is even
more significant in increasing the amount of cable placed
and reducing the time and cost of placement.
ARNCO Advantage
The ARNCO patented Wave-Rib design produces a coefficient of friction lower than any previous
design resulting in longer lengths of cable placement.
The high tensile strength of the duct allows the pulling-in of long lengths of innerduct into
a main conduit.
When used with ARNCOs air-assisted cable blowing equipment, Wave-Rib Duct provides the
fastest, easiest and least expensive method for placing cable.

Bellcore Results
Testing was conducted by Bellcore to determine the performance of ARNCOs conduit products. The Bellcore
results showed that, when used with
ARNCOs air-blown installation equipment, the Wave-Rib Duct placed 50%
more cable than the smooth wall conduit. Testing further showed that lubricated Wave-Rib Duct demonstrated
nearly a 10 to 1 improvement over the
smooth wall conduit in its ability to
maintain a low coefficient of friction
with increasing tail loads going into
sweeps and bends.

ARNCO developed the Pull Bench Test method for analyzing the performance of our conduit products to simulate
field conditions as closely as possible. This test allows for
accurate determination of both the static (starting) and
dynamic (moving) coefficients of friction under different
pulling loads and speeds.

NOTE: Smoothwall exceeded 600 lb. pull tension with 175 lb. tail load.
With Wave-Rib Duct, you can pull longer distancesbefore reaching the tension limit.
Options
Pre-Lubrication permanently lubricated conduit saves time in the field; no need to manually add
liquid lubricant.
Pre-Installed Pull Tape ARNCO offers the widest range of pull tape options in the industry that can be
extruded directly into the conduit. Bull-Line pull tapes are available in your choice of polyester or aramid fiber.
Longitudinal External Ribs will interlock to keep multiple innerducts straight in a main conduit.
Pre-Installed Coax, Dot, or Electrical Cables eliminating field cable placement.
Available in Multiple Colors and Lengths
