Designed for ‘Project Gigabit’, the LowPro 100 fibre optic trench cover is a 1m long narrow trench cover designed to cover narrow trenches up to 100mm wide. These trenches are required when running new fibre optic cables along pavements. The cover serves two purposes, it prevents slips and trips when crossing the channel, whilst also protecting any pre-laid cable within the trench.

Project Gigabit is a £5bn government plan to provide superfast broadband to residential homes and businesses in the UK. To achieve the goals set out in Project Gigabit, thousands of metres of fibre optic cable need to be laid in often busy areas. Oxford Plastics have designed the perfect trench cover for this purpose. It allows vehicles and pedestrians to cross safely without the risk of damaging vehicles or degrading the clean-cut edges of the micro-trench sidewalls used for fibre optic installations.

Made from recycled plastics, the LowPro 100 boasts a sleek low profile design with high visibility panels allowing it to be seen by pedestrians. The flexible nature of this narrow trench cover means it can bend around corners where needed. Each 100mm long section has a male and female connecting end that can be secured together with a single fastening making one long continuous trench cover.
