The Lubricant Developed for Blowing
Fiber Optic Microcables
Increases Blowing Distance
Lowers Friction
Easy to Apply
Low Overall Cost
Compatible with Cable
Special Conventional Cable Formula
Polywater®Prelube 5000™ reduces frictional drag during the
blowing of small diameter fiber optic microcable into microtube duct. It
increases the length of cable that can be blown in a single shot. Prelube 5000™ is more concentrated, yet less viscous, than Prelube 2000™ (for
blowing conventional fiber cables). The improved chemistry allows this product
to spread further and reduce friction at extremely low coating levels. The lower
viscosity allows practical application into the microtubes.
Features
Polywater®Prelube 5000™ is easy to use. It can be squeezed
into the small diameter microducts.
Polywater®Prelube 5000™ works at extremely low coating
levels. It coats further and more effectively than conventional blowing
lubricants.
Polywater®Prelube 5000™ has proven superior in
side-by-side testing in blown microcable installations.
Polywater®Prelube 5000™ is compatible with known
microcable plastic jackets. However, it should not be used for resin-coated
fiber cables.
