How can you pull a fiber cable?

The most basic technique of laying fiber cables includes pulling the cable from the drum with the hand. This method is still utilized in different parts of the world today, specifically where labor is plentiful and inexpensive and the cable is quite light in weight and also short. The drum is mounted to rotate freely and a cable pulling crew is deployed along the cable trench at regular intervals, which are determined by the weight per unit length of the cable and the route intricacy.

The supervisor or foreman of the crew coordinates the physical endeavor made by every person to move the signal generator, through the utilization of a whistle or by shouting. This type of cable lying is primitive but efficient under the appropriate circumstances and is known as “hand pulling”.

Fiber cable can be set on the location and may be pulled in the direction of the outlets and NID. This enables cables going through the multiple outlets in the same area to be pulled through the majority of the path together, thereby reducing cable installation time. By pulling the cable from the location towards the outlets, the cable reels don’t have to be moved from one location to another.

In many situations, the initial cable run will be long, going from the location to the point at which the cables become vertical. To simplify the pulling tension across this long run, J-hooks or bridle rings might be installed, specifically at points where the cables make 90 degree bends.

So now you have a basic idea about the various types of fiber cables, and you can determine which precise devices are ideal for your specific installation. While installing fiber cables either underground or outside, an outside plant fiber optic cabling system is utilized.
