The Most Advanced Fiber Optic Cable Blower
As a leader in the manufacture of cable installation tools and equipment, Condux offers a superior Fiber Optic Cable Blower that is compact and lightweight, making it ideally suited for your most difficult job sites.
Fast
Install fiber optic cable up to 300 fpm (100 mpm) (recommended 180-220 fpm (55-67 mpm)). A carrier can be attached to the front of the cable to help propel the fiber down an air-tight sealed duct. Because air flow and belt drive speed can be adjusted, you can install fiber at the rate which best suits your application.
Total Control
The Condux Gulfstream 400 Fiber Optic Cable Blower features a long belt grip area for less stress on the cable, and a manual cylinder on the belt 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 are detected.
Versatility
The Condux Gulfstream 400 Fiber Optic Cable Blower operates efficiently with most common combinations of cable and innerduct sizes. The Condux Gulfstream 400 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 micro duct 10 mm to 18 mm and traditional innerduct 1⁄2″ (13 mm) to 2″ (51 mm) with metric sizes available.
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.
