Blowing
Applied in tubes, ducts, trays, blocks, tunnels, collecting channels, with no risk of rodent attacks. Also applied for aerial installation between supports and buildings on external strength members or using the winding method.
Ducting
Applied in ducts, trays, blocks, tunnels, collecting channels, with a risk of rodent attacks.
Direct Buried
Applied in harsh environments with potential mechanical impact: in all ground types, swamps and harsh rivers.
Submarine
Applied in sea areas (coastal shelf and deep-sea), on navigable rivers, in lakes and water storage basins, in harsh environments, in bogs and unnavigable rivers.

Building an intelligent business for a more resilient world goes beyond simply fulfilling requirements. It involves effecting change – both for your company and our planet. By producing long-lasting results that promote progress and stimulate expansion, as well as enhancing our communities and environment, ESG creates a significant impact.
The development of industry, on the one hand, is the result of scientific and technological progress and human production activities. On the other hand, industry is the main consumer of natural resources and a powerful source of pollution. Despite the fact that the environmental safety of individual industrial facilities is constantly improving, in general the issues of environmental protection are becoming more and more critical, which is caused by a number of many objective and subjective reasons. The quantitative and qualitative improvement of industrial enterprises invariably leads to quantitative and qualitative changes in another element of this ecosystem – nature, and the development of enterprises takes these changes to a whole new level.
Incab is not only the leading developer and manufacturer of optical and specialty cables in Russia and the CIS, but also a company that is committed to environmental protection through compliance with ESG goals.
We make it a priority to initiate and maintain production processes in a sustainable and environmentally conscious manner. At the same time, we support our customers in their pursuit of sustainability by offering them quality products.
Now it is especially important to adhere to this vector of development, because in recent times the issue of sustainable development and eco-friendliness has become more acute than ever: the ozone layer is depleting by chemicals released into the atmosphere from the earth, which gradually leads to global warming; due to overconsumption in the ocean there are more and more islands of garbage that settles to the bottom and enters a variety of marine organisms, many of which are already caught and go for human food.
These are only a small part of the problems that burden mankind and the environment, but it is clear from these two examples that unless action is taken, the consequences are irreversible.
In defining our development strategy, we are guided by industry specifics, international best practices and the UN Sustainable Development Goals. At the same time, the plant has implemented and successfully operates quality management system, environmental management and health and safety management in accordance with the requirements of ISO 9001:2015, ISO 14001:2015, ISO 45001:2018.
Among the measures that the plant implements on a permanent basis:
Clothing rentals for workers. The textile industry is one of the leaders in carbon emissions, and its pace is increasing. Rentals help reduce the pace of workwear production and extend the life of a kit: if something has become unnecessary, it’s turned in back to the rental company. Most companies repair clothing with minor defects, and ecologically dispose of out-of-service kits.
Recycling. All recyclable waste from the production of optical cable is handed over for decontamination, disposal or recycling in order to give the residues a second life or reuse them in our own production process again. What’s more, the bizarre rainbow-like plastic figures, which to some might seem like manufacturing trash have aesthetic value and are used as museum exhibits and decorations for various events.
Trend for conscious consumption. The long life cycle of optical cables (some designs up to 50 years) does not require frequent replacement, and the packaging (wooden and steel reels) is reusable.
Implementation of sustainable products. The line of designs for blowing into ducts and microducts requires less polyethylene in the production process, and therefore contributes to reducing plastic consumption. At the same time underground deployment and laying of cables in ducts minimizes the visual pollution of urban landscapes. It is also worth noting that cables designed for laying inside buildings and constructions do not emit toxic substances during their entire service life. As for geophysical cables and sensor cables, they allow for quick localization of accidents at monitored objects, which facilitates quick decision-making and minimization of accident consequences. In addition, sensor cables for distributed monitoring ensure the efficient use of oil and gas wells and the safe transportation of raw materials through pipelines.
Production optimization. Implementation of ERP system SAP S/4 HANA allowed to optimize production processes, minimize idle time on the lines, which in its turn helped to allocate resources appropriately, since a high load of production capacities at the enterprise and growth of production output leads to a higher consumption of resources and, therefore, to an increase in harmful emissions into the environment.
