7.1 ConQuest ® Toneable Conduit ™
Product Overview
CommScope toneable conduit utilizes an embedded 18 AWG tone wire to facilitate conduit location once installed.
The 18 AWG copper-clad tone wire is applied to the outside of the conduit during the manufacturing process. The
tone wire is embedded in a layer of HDPE for corrosion and electrical protection. Narrow webbing connects the wire to
the conduit for ease of access for splicing. A cross-section of toneable conduit is shown in Figure 1.

Toneable conduit is available in ¾” through 2” diameters. Specifications are shown in Table 1.
It is important to note that the tone wire is for location testing only, and is for signal location transport up to five watts
of power. Using insulation leakage test devices is not recommended, as the wire is not rated for high voltage (these test
sets can reach up to 1000 volts) or high amps.
