How Do Fiber Blowers Work?

Fiber-optic internet is at the heart of global communications. If you are in the utility supply industry, you must be aware of the challenges associated with cable pulling. To pull cables through conduits and ducts without damage is a herculean task. AMAC Equipment Limited in Richmond Hill, Ontario, supplies the best tools and equipment for fiber-optic cable pulling. The most popular among the lot is our fiber blowers. From hand-held mini blowers to heavyweight machinery, we supply them all. In this blog, we discuss how exactly these blowers work. Read until the end to make an informed decision.

 

Fiber Blowers Rely on Compressed Air 

 

Fiber optic cable blowing is the go-to method for contractors assisting internet companies. It is by far the safest, quickest, and most reliable. These blowers are perfect for middle and last-mile cable installation. How do these blowers work exactly? Let’s take a look.

 

Conduits: Fiber optic internet cables are often protected by conduits and ducts. Blowers help create an air pocket inside these conduits. It is done by creating two forces, pushing and pulling. They together enable the cable to travel through the duct almost as if it is gliding. The use of pressurized blowing systems is notable in fiber blowers.

 

Compressed Air: The pressurized blowing system cannot work without compressed air. An aiir compressor or a pneumatic motor generates the required compressed air. When introduced into the duct, this compressed air facilitates seamless cable propulsion.

 

Control: Did you know? Fiber blowers from AMAC Equipment Limited allow you to have extensive control over fiber-optic cable pulling. You can adjust the speed and power at which the cables are blown through the conduits. This facilitates an error-free cable installation. These blowers are designed to accommodate fiber-optic cables of varying thicknesses.
