Fibre optic cable ducts look kind of neat (self.pics)

They installed fibre optic Internet in my neighbourhood a while back, and this is what the cable ducts look like. Also interesting to see how these get installed, with a sort of huge needle/drill on tracks.

Thats most likely "future path" from a company called Duraline. There should be a rip cord just like a cat5e cable.

They won't use all runs at once, hence the name future path.

Edit: I just assumed this was in the US, however this is made worldwide.
