Our Professional Answer: Installing a backbone cable laying structure requires specialized equipment to ensure efficiency and safety. Key equipment includes:

• Cable Pulling Equipment: Winches and pulling eyes are used to physically pull cables through conduits.

• Cable Blowing Machines: These use compressed air to propel fiber optic cables through ducts, which is a faster and more efficient method that reduces stress on the cable.

• Trenching and Trenchless Technology: For underground installations, you may use traditional trenching equipment or modern trenchless technology like Horizontal Directional Drilling (HDD) rigs to lay cables without extensive surface disruption.

• Splicing and Termination Tools: Essential tools include fusion splicers for creating permanent, low-loss connections in fiber optic cables and various termination kits for connecting cables to patch panels.
