Underground placement is unavoidable in certain areas for several reasons: nature, aesthetics, space and safety. Also, placing cables underground helps reduce transmission losses and the risk of service outages due to extreme weather.
Underground cable installation can be buried directly underground or placed into a buried duct.
for Direct burial installations the cables are plowed in or buried in a trench, this is the most common method for long cross-country installations.
Fiber optic cables can also be pulled through underground ducts. The conduit provides protection from both physical (shifting rocks, aggressive rodents, damage from hand shovels, etc) and environmental abuse. Underground cable that is in a conduit provides the opportunity for future expansion without extensive and expensive digging since the old cable can be pulled out and the new one pulled in. This is the most common practice in urban areas.
