How do your tools ensure the critical safety requirements for pulling fiber optic cable?
2025-08-15Our tools are engineered to be an integral part of a safe and effective method statement for fiber optic cable installation. We focus on providing solutions that protect your investment and ensure project integrity:
-
Specialized pulling grips: We supply fiber optic pulling grips (or "socks") that attach directly to the internal strength members (e.g., Aramid yarn) of the cable, not the outer jacket. This ensures the pulling force is distributed correctly, preventing damage.
-
Breakaway Swivels: A breakaway Swivel is a fail-safe device that connects the pulling rope to the grip. It is designed to break at a pre-set tension, ensuring the cable's maximum pulling force is never exceeded.
-
Low-Friction Rollers and Sheaves: Our underground-Cable-Laying-Equipment-and-Tools.html target='_blank'>cable rollers and sheaves have large radii to accommodate the minimum bending radius of the fiber optic cable, while low-friction surfaces reduce the pulling force required.
