Tube Distribution Units

Featuring a scalable and flexible design, Tube Distribution Units (TDUs) are wall-mounted enclosures used at tube cable transitions or branching locations. Tubes are joined together using push-fit connectors within the enclosure, facilitating pathways between the network hub and workstations or other sites and functions supported by the tube cable infrastructure.
