Slot Technology


Slot technology is the ideal solution for installing fibre optic cables in existing developments. A 10mm wide slot is cut into the existing surfacing and a proprietary plastic tube is inserted into the slot, which is then re-sealed.

The proprietary plastic tube can accommodate a number of 96-way fibre cables, each of which can be installed independently of the others.

Key advantages of slot technology include:

  • Rapid installation – up to 400m per day
  • Lower cost than traditional ductwork
  • Available with a full range of components, chambers and connectors
  • Minimum disruption to road users during installation
  • Virtually no sign of installation in surfacing
  • Avoids unsightly trench reinstatement joints in wearing course which cause potential maintenance week points
