Install Micro Fiber Cable Faster With GMP’s AirStream Cable Blowing Machine
General Machine Products Co. Inc. (GMP), Trevose, PA, introduces the AirStream Cable Blowing Machine to its line of fiber optic cable placing equipment.
Specifically designed to safely install micro fiber cable into pre-installed 0.196- to 0.708-inch OD micro duct, the AirStream will place 0.098- to 0.433-inch OD cable at speeds up to 260 feet per minute.
The AirStream incorporates a tabletop design with easy-to-use ergonomic controls for one-person operation. The unit uses a double belt drive concept, backed by the latest in servo control technology, to provide a secure cable grip with precise torque and speed control. The pushing force, up to 44 pounds maximum, can be adjusted to suit the cable stiffness.
The AirStream uses compressed air to install micro fiber cable into micro duct in both indoor and outdoor environments. Its electrically powered, double belt drive system controls the cable as it is propelled through the micro duct. An electronic monitoring system provides read-outs of speed and distance, and includes an emergency stop capability.
And with the purchase of any GMP fiber cable blowing machine, onsite training is provided at no additional cost.
Compressors are also available to accommodate GMP’s complete line of fiber cable blowing machines. 215.357.5500, GMPtools.com
