ACO is one of Australia’s foremost manufacturers of trafficable cable pits and continuous surface ducting systems complete with a selection of lids and access covers.
ACO cable pits are positioned on cable routes to provide branching or bending points and/or to allow access for jointing and maintenance. Common cables routed through ACO cable pits include data/communication fibre-optic cables and low voltage electrical wiring. ACO’s steel & iron access covers can be made discreet to harmonise with the building or urban environment.
Surface cable ducting systems become the cable route and allow low voltage cables and other utilities to be laid directly along a trafficable pavement. They can be continually accessed through removable lids or covers. The enclosure is typically continuous and can be made visually discreet if necessary.
The range includes:
- Rigid, lightweight, strong polymer concrete pits.
- Flexible, light duty, moulded plastic pits.
- SCEC endorsed plastic and concrete pits.
- Series Isolation Transformer (SIT) pits.
- Rigid modular (twin wall) plastic pits.
- Continuous linear surface ducting systems.
