Cable wells are most often objects of telecommunication sewage systems or KT technological channels. They are used for pulling, connecting, branching or installing cable reserves (including cable joints). It is worth finding out what is most important about them. In the article you will learn what a cable well is, learn about the types of cable wells and see which cable well to choose.

What is a cable well?
Cable wells have a very important task because they provide access to pipes and cables, i.e. important components of the cable duct system. It is, of course, necessary not only in the context of network installation, but also in future maintenance and modernization tasks. Many cable wells also provide more - connecting or branching cable supplies. It consists of several important elements. The basis is the body, and apart from it, it is worth mentioning, among others, concrete settling tanks used to drain water from the well chamber. They also have another, equally important role, providing space for the installer's legs.
Other parts include well holders and support tubes to support cables running through the well chamber. We can also see the throats of the cable wells here (a characteristic narrowing of the well chamber near the wall) - this is where the openings for the sewage pipes are located. The top of the well consists of a frame and a cover (they function as a hatch to the well).
What are the types of cable wells?
Cable wells are most often divided according to their use. That being said, there are many different types of cable wells to choose from. Very popular are main chambers (SKM), used for the construction of multi-hole cable ducts, SKR distribution wells, used for branching cable routes or sewage bends, or through cable wells (SK) - perfect for straight sections of the sewage system.
As you already know, the main function of cable wells is to provide access to pipes and cables for installation, maintenance and modernization. An equally important role is that they make it possible to connect or branch cable supplies. They differ in many respects, especially when it comes to size, intended use and material.
Optimal cable chambers (SKO) are also very popular because they are very universal and can be used as through, corner and distribution chambers. Other types include pass-through main chambers (allowing for the installation of many, from 8 to 12 multi-holes), distribution main wells (as in the previous case, but not for straight sections, but when there is a need for a branch or bend in the sewage system) and corner cable wells (as the name itself suggests - they are used on bends in cable routes).
