Installation of Optical Fiber Cable by Blowing/Jetting
ABSTRACT This application note discusses fiber optic cable installation by blowing technique, the factors effecting blowing performance and best practices.
Fibre Optic Cable Blowing
The system installs fibre optic cable of 6mm (0.25”) to 32mm (1.25”) overall diameter, at speeds up to 90m/min (300ft / min), into pre-installed ducts. The system operates on the viscous drag principle
