What are the primary challenges of low voltage cable pulling?
2025-08-15Even with smaller cables, pulling low-voltage (LV) wires can present significant challenges. The most common issues include:
-
High Friction: Conduits, especially those with multiple bends or long runs, create immense friction that can make manual pulling difficult and lead to worker fatigue or injury.
-
Cable Damage: Kinking, stretching, or tearing the outer jacket can compromise the cable's performance, particularly with delicate data or fiber optic cables.
-
Complex Pathways: Pulling through walls, ceilings, and crowded conduits requires a strategic approach and the right tools to avoid damaging existing infrastructure.
-
Safety Risks: Working in confined spaces or with manual force can lead to sprains, strains, or accidents.
