Fiber Optic Cable Blower
Fast
Install up to 300 feet of fiber optic cable per minute (90 m/min).
The cable travels at the same speed as the air! A carrier is always attached to the front of the cable.Compressed air propels the carrier
and cable through the air-tight sealed duct. And, because air flow
and tractor drive speed can be adjusted, you can install fiber at the
rate which best suits any application.
Total Control
The Condux Fiber Optic Cable Blower features longer tractor feed
grip area for less stress on the cable, and a hydraulic cylinder
on the tractor feed to better control down pressure. Condux’s
patented traction control system shuts down the blower when problems
with cable slippage or duct blockage are detected, adding safety
to every job and preventing costly cable damage.A speed and distance counter with LCD read-out, as well as convenient hydraulic and pneumatic controls, come standard with the Condux Fiber Optic Cable Blower. Blowers equipped with the Advanced Electronic Control System will shut down if slippage, over-speed or cable stoppage is detected.
Versatility
The Condux Fiber Optic Cable Blower operates efficiently with most
common combinations of cable and innerduct sizes. The Fiber Optic
Cable Blower is designed for the installation of fiber optic cables
with diameters from 0.23" (5.8 mm) to 1.13" (28.7 mm) into innerduct
from 0.98" (25 mm) outer diameter to 1.97" (50.0 mm) outer diameter.
The correct size cable seals and venturi must be determined for the
cable being installed. Also necessary are the correct size innerduct
seals, clamps and carrier for the innerduct being occupied. Use the
charts on page 128 to determine the correct size components for your specific cable and innerduct installation project. Use both the size and color reference to ensure the correct selection each time the Cable
Blower is used.
