Did you know about the benefits of fiber blowing versus traditional pulling?

At Fremco we have 30 years of experience within the fiber blowing industry developing fiber blowing machines for contractors all over the world.

When planning a fiber network, the installation method can have a direct impact on manpower, installation speed, cable protection, and total project cost.

There are different ways to do fiber network, for example, the traditional fiber pulling that has been around for decades. Here, the primary reliance is on manual labor, with relatively little use of machinery for short distances.

Then there is fiber blowing where compressed air is used to reduce friction when the cables are pushed long distances into conduits. It is an efficient operational way also for complex, long routes. The machine protects the fragile and expensive fibers and enable less hard and manual labor.

Depending on the job to be performed, both solutions have advantages. But have you considered that what method - and equipment to invest in - may also be beneficial for future projects and affecting your ROI?

The main difference between the two methods is:

  1. The manual labor needed

  2. The protection of the cable

  3. The distance of the installation

  4. The timeframe in carrying out the job

  5. The flexibility and scalability for future need
