Estimating the term…
A cable protecting tube having high transparency and allowing the filling condition of mortar therein to be visually observed from the outside as well as exhibiting high pressure resistance is provided. A cable protecting tube for accommodating a cable and for filling with mortar includes a protecting tube (1) having smooth inner and outer surfaces formed from an ionomer resin excellent in transparency, and a spiral or mesh-shaped reinforcing member (2) for reinforcing the protecting tube. The reinforcing member (2) may be buried in the protecting tube (1). The protecting tube (1) is not limited to the smooth-walled tube but may be a spirally corrugated tube.
A protecting tube for external cable, comprising:
A resin material for use in a transparent protecting tube for external cable comprising at least 30% by weight of an ionomer resin, wherein the ionomer resin is one or more ethylene-unsaturated carboxylic acid copolymers, or a mixture of one or more ethylene-unsaturated carboxylic acid copolymers, having 20% or greater of the total carboxyl groups neutralized with one or more of the same or different cations, wherein the cations are metal ions or ammonium ions wherein the resin material is transparent, and wherein the resin material does not contain a polyolefin in addition to the ionomer resin.
