The Fiber
Optic Cable Blower offers what you’d expect from Condux,
and more. More speed and more push force monitoring for example.
After all, the faster and safer that fiber is installed in the
duct, the more money in your pocket.
Install 300 feet of fiber optic cable per
minute (90 m/min) with the new Condux Fiber Optic Cable Blower.
Condux engineers designed the speed in by making the cable travel
at the same speed as the air! A missile is always attached to the
front of the cable. Compressed air propels the missile and cable
through the airtight sealed duct in a matter of seconds. And, because
air flow and tractor drive speed can be adjusted, you can install
fiber at the rate which best suits any application.
Compared
to other models on the market, the Condux Fiber Optic Cable
Blower features longer tractor feed grip area for less
stress on the cable. Condux incorporates a hydraulic cylinder
on the tractor feed to better control down pressure.
A
refined speed
and distance counter with LCD read-out,
as well as convenient hydraulic
and pneumatic controls,
come standard with the Condux blower. An optional electronic
control system is
available to monitor the cable and tractor drive speeds. This
system will shut down the blower if cable slippage, an over-speed
situation, or a cable stoppage is detected. When you compare
features and quality you’ll see why the Condux Fiber
Optic Cable Blower is better.
The Condux
Fiber Optic Cable Blower now offers softer tracks, collapsible
legs, improved hydraulic cylinder mounts on the tractor feed
and improved counter rollers. The new tracks reduce noise,
vibration, allow better cable grip and provide a better pushing
force.
The collapsible
legs allow a lower profile for transporting and storing the
blower and the flexibility to set up the Fiber Optic Cable
Blower at a 45 degree angle for easier connection to the
duct.
The hydraulic
cylinder mounts stabilize the upper tractor feed by keeping
it square when it is lowered into position, thus preventing
excess wear on the tracks.
The new
counter rollers, along with reinforced joints, help improve
counter accuracy.
LW Fiber Optic Cable Blower: While Condux’s new LW Fiber
Optic Cable Blower operates on the same principles as the HD
model, there are several differences. The new LW Fiber Optic
Cable Blower is compact and lightweight, making it ideally suited
for your most difficult job sites and “last mile” fiber
installations. An updated design has increased portability and
made operation easier than ever. In addition, 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.
Backed by years of fiber blowing experience, the LW 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. Installation speeds approaching 300 ft/min
(91.5 m/min) are possible.
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, feed tube 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 108 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.
