TrueNet® Blown Fibre Installation Equipment

General Info
The Blowing Head is designed for the installation of Enhanced Performance Fibre Units (EPFU) in tubes by the push-pull method. Here, the cable is pushed by a system of drive and pressure rollers and pulled by a shuttle attached at the cable head. The installation speed, which can be controlled by the pushing system, is limited to 40m/min. The maximum installation length can be influenced by the tube path geometry
