What is the difference between pulling and blowing fiber optic cables?
2025-08-15Pulling is the traditional method using a rope or tape, and a winch or manual puller, to physically pull the cable through a conduit. This method is effective for shorter runs and in environments with multiple bends.
Blowing (or Jetting) is a more advanced technique, particularly for very long, straight runs. A specialized machine uses high-pressure compressed air to propel the cable through the conduit while simultaneously pushing it. The air creates a low-friction cushion around the cable, allowing it to "float" over very long distances with minimal tension. Our expertise and equipment selection can support both methods, providing you with the right solution for any project.
